Pegg, Gents star in elephant cartoon

Simon Pegg and The League Of Gentlemen are to lend their voices to a new Norwegian animated film about a drug-addicted circus elephant.

Also in the impressive cast voicing the English-language version of Free Jimmy are Woody Harleson, Phil Daniels, Samantha Morton, Kyle McLachlan and Jim Broadbent

The film tells of how circus elephant Jimmy, kept doped up by his evil owners, finally escapes the big top for the artic tundra, where – after encounters with the local mafia and a militant animal rights group -  he befriends a moose.

The film is not released until next year, but there’s a website – in Norwegian – at freejimmy.com
