What? $8 million just for recording your voice for a cartoon? I don't believe it.

When sitcom actors can cash $1 million per episode (which is $20-25m per season), then it isn't hard to believe that the voice actors for the Simpsons get paid that much. With a show that popular you want to avoid any changes that may upset the viewers and the actors of course want their fair share of the profits the show generates.

I still don't believe it. An A class Hollywood actor typically gets $8-10 million for a movie (if he is not Leonardo Dicaprio or Will Smith) and a movie including preparations takes a year for an actor to make.

It doesn't take a year for an actor to make a movie, it never does. Hollywood actors can easily make 3-5 movies a year if they want and still appear in television series and have plenty of free time. Movies can be prepared for several years but actors work only for few months for a movie at most. Actors are not involved during preproduction nor in postproduction. And, actually, preparing for theater show take more time than preparing for a movie from actor (every actor agrees with this). They are only involved while filming and filming only takes 2-3 months for even biggest movies.

For example, Jurassic Park had 25 month preproduction but filming only took 3 months (and a lot filming didn't even have humans). Smaller movies which have no special effects don't take more than 3-4 weeks to film.
