According to the news, Desperate Housewives celebrity Teri Hatcher is apparently set to voice two characters for director Henry Selick’s upcoming animation ‘Coraline’. The animation is an adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s 2002 novel in which Teri Hatcher will reportedly be the voice to Coraline’s mother in the real world and her mother in a parallel universe.
The voice of Coraline is Dakota Fanning, which finds herself in an alternate universe which appears to be far superior to her normal life.
Ice Age: The Meltdown is a real joy with great jokes, the story moves very quickly and the animation is stylish. The animated comedy Ice Age was about three prehistoric animals who become unlikely friends: Manny the woolly mammoth (Ray Romano), Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo) and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger (Denis Leary).
Scrat, who was in Ice Age for less than five minutes, had now a bigger role in the sequel Ice Age: The Meltdown. Once again Scrat opens the film, but this time every 15 minutes or so he’s back with another death-defying attempt to get that elusive acorn. Scrat appearances are crucial in the sequel, and considering how the movie ended will sure have a strong role in a third Ice Age.
Composer Robert Lopez and his wife, Kristen Anderson Lopez, have renewed ‘Finding Nemo’ for the musical stage in Florida. The musical is scheduled to debut later this year at the Theater in the Wild at Disney`s Animal Kingdom theme park in Orlando. ‘Finding Nemo - The Musical’ will be Disney`s first non-musical animated feature to make such a transition, Playbill.com reported.
Like Disney`s Broadway production of ‘The Lion King,’ ‘Finding Nemo’ will come to life through puppetry styles including live performers operating large puppets, designed by Michael Curry.
