Monsters vs Aliens' Monster Cast

I took my eight year old daughter out this morning to see the 10am session of Monsters vs Aliens, Dreamwork's latest 3D animated feature. I picked a few of the voices but when I saw the credits roll past at the end (GIANT credits I might add!) I knew almost all the names. It was this that lead me to make this list characters-to-actors so you too can see just who was in the film. You should go and see it by the way, quite entertaining with plenty of monster movie/sci fi in-jokes (there's even a Wilhelm Scream) including a hilarious Close Encounters homage with a genuine Yamaha DX/7 synth.

This is the 3D Super Bowl trailer for the film:

Spaceballs The Animated Series

That's right, you didn't misread the title. Spaceballs, Mel Brook's 80s pisstake of Star Wars (and sci fi in general) has been made into an animated series with the first four episodes airing on G4 (the folks that brought us Code Monkeys) on the 21st of September.

Obviously John Candy won't be reprising his role as Barf with Tino Insana taking over, Rick Moranis is still too rich to play Dark Helmet who is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker and Bill Pullman is too big a star to return as Lone Starr leaving it up to Rino Romano to do his part. That said, according to IMDb, Mel Brooks and Daphne Zuniga will be back to voice President Skroob and Princess Vespa respectively. Looks like Daphne gave up waiting for a Melrose Place reboot and went with the easy money.

If you can't wait until then and you like big, bouncy lady parts and in-your-face inuendo you might like to watch the following very silly trailer. Caution, it may be a little NSFW (especially the big-breasted Princess Peach I spotted flashing by) so wait until nobody is looking.

I see your Schwartz is as big as mine!
