Nov 13 2008 Popular Actor/Comedians Providing Voices to CGI Family Comedy

Sorry, trained voice actors, an all-celebrity roster led by Steve Carell is
once again dominating the cast of a new animated film called *Despicable Me*
:

Illumination Entertainment topper Chris Meledandri has kicked off his
Universal Pictures-based family film unit with "Despicable Me," a 3-D
CG-animated film that has Steve Carell voicing the title character.

Jason Segel, Kristen Wiig, Will Arnett, Danny McBride, Russell Brand,
Jemaine Clement ("Flight of the Conchords"), Jack McBrayer ("30 Rock") and
Julie Andrews are providing the other lead voices. The film will be released
in 2010.

Carell's title character is a deplorable man known as *Groo* who masterminds
the mother of all heists when he plots to steal the moon. Egged on by an
evil mother (Andrews), *Groo *finds one obstacle in his way: a trio of
orphan girls who temporarily come under his care and won't leave.
