Suppose Pixar did a movie starring talking animals. This is not an entirely original concept. A more original concept might be selecting voice actors that are puns on animal names.
What I think is, they might have an otter named Ray Lee, voiced by Ray Liotta. And they might have a rhinoceros named Neil, voiced by Ryan O’ Neil.
Help me fill out the cast. What other funny animal/ actor names are there?
Sesame Street already used Placido Flamingo and Meryl Sheep.
Ray Liotta would be a difficult get now.
They could have a bird from the family Apodidae that makes custom clothing. Voiced by, oh, I donno, Miley Ray Cyrus?
Don’t forget Flo Bear!
(checks wiki) I hadn’t heard he died.
So, a rat named Chris P., kind of thing?
Good one.
New thread rule - dead actors allowed.
Not quite that funny because it’s straight up his name, but it would be funny to have Trevor Peacock (RIP) be a chicken or a pigeon or something, who THINKS he’s a peacock.
A crow named Russell, voiced by Russell Crowe.
A cat movie starring Kitty Forman.
A dog movie featuring Dobie Gillis.
A lion with a red mane, voiced by Eddie Redmayne
When eels congregate in rivers and streams the waters can become congested as they all writhe together. These traffic jams are however relieved by the behaviour if certain eels who are able to direct the others and ease congestion.
All if which is a long winded way if saying that the role of Jamil the jam eel will be played by Jameela Jamil
