XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED AUG 21, 2002 10:32:07 ET XXXXX CARVILLE GOES DISNEY, POLITICAL OP OFFERED 'TOON VOICE **Exclusive** Democrat political star James Carville has been offered a high-impact role in a new DISNEY animated movie, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT! While producers in Burbank are worried about Carville's lack of acting experience, DISNEY filmmakers have become convinced he has the perfect vocal qualities for the part: an off-the-wall hillbilly, studio sources reveal. Ricky Skaggs is doing the music; Dolly Parton is set to play the voice of an angel. Lily Tomlin, Travis Tritt, and others -- including Washington's favorite 'Ragin' Cajun' -- are also in the Appalachian animation. The characters in DISNEY's high-budget brew MY PEOPLES are made of shirt buttons, plates, pens, thimbles, threads and an old push broom. The backwoods bluegrass musical will feature 2-D characters that interact with 3-D props and settings, written and director by Barry Cook [MULAN]. MOVE OVER, GOOFY Carville is a risky pick for DISNEY's cartoon stable. The political campaign operative/CNN host -- who will soon join the ranks of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Winnie the Pooh -- hit controversy after a cameo in PEOPLE VS LARRY FLYNT. Also comments made by Carville during the presidential impeachment [he told the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS that Ken Starr was "one mistake away from not having any kneecaps"] could fly in the face of WALT DISNEY's animation division and its wholesome family image. "The movie has got a lot of laughter and a lot of fun," says a source. "James Carville will take Hollywood by storm." The Bluegrass Blowout is set for release in '05. ----------------------------------------------------------- Filed By Matt Drudge Reports are moved when circumstances warrant http://www.drudgereportArchives.com for updates (c)DRUDGE REPORT 2002 Not for reproduction without permission of the author |
