Glee's Chris Colfer & Ron Perlman to Voice Robodog

Actors Chris Colfer (Glee, Struck By Lightning) and Konchū Monogatari Mitsubachi Hutch - Yūki no Melody). Henry F. Anderson III (Gnomeo & Juliet animation director) is directing the film, which is in pre-production with voice work to begin on February 1.

Marza described the film as a "heartwarming family adventure about two dogs that couldn't be more different from one another. One is a bright and energetic Robotic dog and the other, an old and grumpy real dog who's seen it all. The unlikely duo make a classic odd couple as they embark on an adventure of a lifetime as they learn about their place in the world and the true nature of friendship."

This will be Colfer's first major animation voice role, although he guest-starred as his Glee character Kurt Hummel in The Cleveland Show and voiced a canine character in the CG Marmaduke film. Perlman has voiced many animated and live-action/CG characters in Archer, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, Green Lantern: The Animated Series, Teen Titans, Adventure Time, Tangled, Afro Samurai, Batman: The Animated Series, and more.

Robert Reece and William Schneider wrote the film's script, Paul Wang (Astro Boy, TMNT) is producing this film, and Tom Finan (Mr. Peabody & Sherman) is editing. Timeless Films is pitching the film to distributors at the European Film Market (February 6-14) in Berlin.
