Changing Pixel's voice actor in LazyTown season 3 and season 4

[TheOtter]

Does anyone know why they actually changed Pixel's voice actor from Kobie Powell to Ron Binion?

I mean, I know Ron was his puppeteer, but Kobie seems like a better choice, given his singing ability and (in my opinion) better voice.

EDIT: The change appears to have taken place for LazyTown Extra; perhaps budget cuts are the reason?

Not sure, but I think it has something to do with Kobie's association with Nickelodeon. Once Nickelodeon stopped producing LazyTown, Kobie stopped voicing Pixel.

I wondered that myself.
You never know, he might have had a bigger and better job offer.

I think this is the reason actually.
