Tom Hanks is a busy guy! Not only is he still maintaining an active acting schedule, but he’s also producing and apparently likes doing voice acting as well. Hanks has apparently just signed on to do voice work in “The Ant Bully” (he’s also a producer on the project… so I guess they didn’t have to twist his arm too much). A film based on the book of the same title.
The good folks over at Ananova give us this:
The film, based on the book of the same name, tells the story of a boy who floods an ant colony with his water pistol. The boy then gets magically shrunk down to ant size and made to do hard labour in their world reports The Sun online.
Hmmm… I actually think this sounds really interesting. Yeah, sign me up. The rest of the voice cast isn’t too shabby either. Nicolas Cage, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin and Paul Giamatti are all also signed up to lend their voices to the film. This could be the first non-pixar animated film I’m looking forward to in a while.
