Dec 7 2009Jack Black Not Providing Voice in Animated Film

Jack Black, who has voiced characters in Kung Fu Panda, Ice Age, Shark Tale, and you'd think Madagascar or something but apparently not, won't be doing a voice in a new animated feature! He will, however, be producing a new animated feature about cryptozoology freaks:

The untitled pitch is centered in the world of cryptozoology, which is the search for legendary creatures whose existence has never actually been confirmed, like the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot.

Pitch was made by scribe Jason Micallef, with Black in the room. Black will produce with partner Ben Cooley through their Electric Dynamite banner, along with Meledandri. Black is only aboard as producer and will not provide a voice in the film.

This is the "Jack Black will be starring in a movie but not acting hammy at any point" news of the animation world. Welcome to the parallel dimension in which Jack Black is Jack Black but not quite. Hushed yet dramatic whisper saying "Sliders."
