Synopsis

Centaurworld follows a warhorse who is transported from her embattled world to a strange and colorful land inhabited by vibrant, singing centaurs of all species, shapes, and sizes.

Cast and characters

Main

  • Kimiko Glenn as Horse, a brave warhorse who is separated from her rider and ends up in the magical dimension called Centaurworld. Horse loses her armour and becomes more cartoonish due to exposure to Centaurworld’s atmosphere, though this causes her to have access to magic.
    • Glenn's other voices include a "cataur" (cat centaur) named Madame Jelly who uses a cat piano in the sash competition, the "leaftaur" (leaf centaur) baby, and Horsatia, a wealthy horsetaur whom Horse masquerades as during her trip to the Horsetaur Kingdom.
  • Megan Hilty as Wammawink, a motherly alpaca centaur who lived in Centaur Valley before accompanying Horse on her journey. She is initially overprotective of her herd and occasionally goes too far in her protection, but deep down she believes her herd can work on their own.
    • Hilty's other voices include Shar (one of the Glitter Cats), the "leaftaur" mom, a "catfishtaur" (catfish centaur), occasional Moletaur backup singing, and the Killer Whaletaur.
    • Sophia Lewis voices Baby Wammawink.
  • Parvesh Cheena as Zulius, [8] a flamboyant and effeminate zebra-like centaur who has the power to magically shapeshift his mane. Zulius also has the ability to slow down time to comment on the current events, which greatly injures everyone around him.
    • Cheena also occasionally performs as part of the Moletaur backup singers in songs they're in.
  • Chris Diamantopoulos as Ched, [8] a cynical and belligerent finch-like centaur. He harbors a grudge against Horse. Additionally, he has a great fear of a creature he calls the “dentist”, who allegedly had an affair with his mother during his childhood.
    • Diamantopoulos also voices the "hyenataur" (hyena centaur), Pawter, Zimples, Sean-Anemone, the Rutabagataurs (non-singing), Horsatio (Horsatia’s husband), the Narwhaltaur, Moletaur backup in Holes: Part 3, the Leaftaur King, a "gophertaur" (gopher centaur), and Guskin.
    • Roman Engel voices Young Ched.
  • Megan Nicole Dong as Glendale, [8] a neurotic and kleptomaniacal gerenuk-like centaur who can store an infinite amount of objects in a portal hidden in her stomach.
    • Dong also voices Kale (one of the Glitter Cats), occasional Moletaur backup singing, and "Figure 2", a young human female who tries to steal some apples from Rider.
    • Isabella Russo voices Young Glendale.
  • Josh Radnor as Durpleton, [8] a naive and friendly giraffe-like centaur. He is the gentlest of the herd. He acts erratically.
  • Jessie Mueller as Rider, [8] a human warrior and Horse's best friend tasked with returning a magical artifact to her general to save the world from an invading horde of minotaurs.
    • Mueller's other roles are Pliptoria, the Moosetaur (Laroub) and the Walrustaur (LaCroiv), McCarpy, and a female soldier.

    • Goldsberry also voices the medic in "The Ballad of Becky Apples".
  • Tony Hale as Durpletoot, the voice given to Durpleton's flatulence after his wish is granted by the Tree Shamans. The flatulence’s purpose is, presumably, to heal Durpleton’s childhood trauma.

  • Carl Faruolo as Gebbrey, a paranoid and emotionally fragile ficus-taur on two legs. He is in constant search of his missing coat, as without it he suffers from extreme cold.

  • Lea Salonga as the Mysterious Woman, a human roaming Centaurworld with magical abilities.
  • First Aid Kit as The Tree Shamans, a pair of wish-granting tree-like centaurs who are two of Centaurworld's shamans. They grant the herd not specifically what they want, but what they need, and as such they turn Ched into a horse, make Durpleton’s flatulence speak, and help Horse gain backstory magic.
  • Flula Borg as Comfortable Doug, a mole-like centaur. He normally does not help the herd and is submissive and often flat-out resents them, much to their displeasure. He often talks in a monotone and is quite submissive.
    • Borg also voices a message bird in "The Ballad of Becky Apples".
  • Paul F. Tompkins as Horse's tail. After Horse was affected by the magic of Centaurworld, it developed sentience and a penchant for wisecracking.
    • Tompkins also voices a human in a flashback with Tail's voice, a Yaktaur and one of the Trashtaurs, the rock music-loving Centaurs created by pollution.
