And Now Something Completely Different

Here's a bit of silliness that I found while surfing around:

There's an animated UK movie coming out in February called the Magic Roundabout, where an assortment of different characters team up to save the world from this guy with a spring for legs who wants to turn the world into an eternal winterland. (I believe this is a movie version of a British kid's show. Anyone care to elaborate?)

Why am I impressed? Let's check out the cast, shall we: Jim Broadbent, Joanna Lumley, Sir Ian McKellan, Doctor Who himself Tom Baker, with singers Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue. (Americans, I'll explain who they are later. Rest of the world, you guys already know who they are.)

There's a trailer you can already see on the official web site. I wonder if they'll be any kind of US release of the movie?

Probably not.

Who are all those people? haha just kidding! I actually DO know many of them. I am curious as to why Richard E. Grant was left out of this cast? He can sing too, you know! (At least I think he can) He could be the villian sidekick- or a red herring who seems to be the villian, but isn't!

Oh, and what is SIR Ian McKellan doing in this?

Oh, and why is Tom Baker not a SIR yet?
