Locked Titles Error: Move Jack Angel to Cast (Finding Nemo) & Restore 'Additional Voices' (A Bug's Life)

Hello IMDb Support Team,I am attempting to correct legacy credit placement errors on two classic, locked animation titles. On-screen block-credited voice actors have been mistakenly pushed into 'Additional Crew' or completely deleted. Both pages are giving a hard 'Verified as Complete' error via the standard contribution forms.Per IMDb guidelines, on-screen block credits for animation are permitted in the main Cast department. Please have an editor manually override the verification locks and process these two specific corrections:1. Finding Nemo (2003) / tt0266543

Actor: Jack Angel (nm0029460)

Action: Move from 'Additional Crew' to the main 'Cast' department.

Character Name Formatting: "Additional Voices / Mr. Johannsen"

On-Screen Verification: His name is explicitly credited on screen under the 'Additional Voices' credit scroll block. The character is explicitly named out loud by Bob ('Sheldon! Get out of Mr. Johannsen's yard, now!!') and Jack Angel delivers the spoken lines ('All right, you kids! Where'd ya go?').

2. A Bug's Life (1998) / tt0120623

Action: Unlock and restore the missing on-screen 'Additional Voices' segment by migrating those names from the background queue back into the main Cast department.

Character Name Formatting: Set their character attributes to "Additional Voices" to satisfy on-screen text matching rules while maintaining Cast placement.

Historical Evidence Link: https://web.archive.org/web/20251108170426/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120623/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cst_sm (This archive proves the exact text layout and list of verified voice actors that were previously live on the page).

Thank you for manually resolving these data locks to ensure historical accuracy for these performers!

Hi BuddyPlaying,

Thank you for your problem post.

Jack Angel's credit for Finding Nemo is currently listed in the correct category as per our voice cast guidelines. Please refer to the second eligibility rule below:

2. Must be credited in cast - They must have been credited in the cast section of the end titles (i.e. no "background voices" or ADR work). Additional Voice credits are permitted for animated titles or video games as long as they are listed within, or immediately after, the main cast list.

As this individual's credit is not listed within or immediately after the main cast list onscreen, they are not eligible to be credited on IMDb within the Cast department.

The same outcome applies for A Bug's Life, as any individual credited onscreen under "Additional Voices" appears much later in the end credits, therefore making them ineligible for listing in the Cast department on IMDb.

I hope this helps!

@Ozzy The guideline uses the movie Elemental as an example to show the correct way of things:

And as you can see it says: "If they are not credited on-screen at all, they must be added to the Additional Crew department with the (uncredited) attribute."

But if you click the Elemental cast and crew page directly linked from this guideline section you will see an uncredited Additional Voices credit currently listed in cast section:

Maybe titles that are referenced as perfect examples in guidelines should be better protected against bad data edits or additions?
