Michael Moore plans cartoon satire

American satirist Michael Moore is planning an animated movie to coincide with the next US presidential election.

The film-maker, who had to cancel his Edinburgh Fringe performances after his mother died, is in negotiations with French producers Studio Canal to fund the project.

The as-yet untitled movie will be similar in tone and sentiment to Moore's book Stupid White Men, showbiz journal Variety reports.

Moore recently signed a $3million deal to write two follow-ups.
