Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Jennifer Saunders, Eddie Izzard and Bill Bailey are among the voice cast for the new fantasy movie, Man & Witch which features creations from the Jim Henson Creature Shop

They will play a goose, sheep, and donkey, respectively, in the family movie about a lonely goatherd looking for love.

“The goatherd is a bit of a lonely figure and an outsider who is at the bottom of the pecking order but always kind to his animals,” the film’s star Tami Stronach told Deadline. “It’s through his interaction with the characters that viewers will get to know him. His friends are this fun chorus of animals voiced by some of the most iconic voices in the U.K.”

Greg Steinbruner plays the goatherd, with Sean Astin as his dog, with Pauline McLynn as his mother and Reginald D. Hunter as her boyfriend. The movie is currently in post-production.
