Golden Globe winners Chris Colfer ("Glee") and Ron Perlman (Hellboy) will lend their voices to Marza Animation Planet Inc.'s first original 3D CG animated film, RoboDog, to be directed by the Oscar-nominated Henry F. Anderson III (Gnomeo & Juliet), it was announced today by Marza's CEO, Masanao Maeda. Also revealed was a first look at the film's animated canine heroes, which you can check out at the bottom of this page.
Written by Robert Reece (The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning) and William Schneider, RoboDog is produced by Paul Wang (Astro Boy) and will be edited by studio veteran Tom Finan (Mr. Peabody & Sherman). RoboDog is said to be a classic, heart-warming adventure story about an unlikely duo who couldn't be more different. KC (Kinetic Canine) (Colfer) is a bright, energetic but overzealous robotic dog, while Marshall (Perlman) is an old, curmudgeonly "real" dog, set in his ways and has little patience for anything new. This canine odd couple embarks on the adventure of a lifetime where each will learn the true nature of friendship, and not to judge a book by its cover. "We are absolutely ecstatic that Chris has chosen 'RoboDog' as his first foray into animation. Coupled with Ron's extraordinary voiceover work, the duo's talent will make for great chemistry onscreen. Timeless Films is by far the perfect fit for the project due to their expertise in both producing and selling animated films overseas," said Maeda.Photo Credit: Walter McBride / WM Photos
