I had a lot of fun recording the voice of TWITCHY<\/span> again for Hoodwinked 2<\/span><\/a>. It was at Universal a couple weeks ago, with director Mike D’Isa<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in the booth. I was a little nervous about getting back the right vibe that would sound good speeded up in post, but everyone on the other side of the glass seemed pretty happy. I was able to come up with some ad-libs, along with a lot of the grunts and gastrointestinal sounds that make Twitchy so crazy.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And YES, I’ve heard all of the comparisons to “Hammy the Squirrel” in Over The Hedge<\/span>, as well as someone called “Foamy the Squirrel” on the internet. I can take those hyper rodents any day of the week. BRING IT! Sorry. That’s the coffee talking. Truth be told, Twitchy was always meant to be an homage to fast-talking critters like Chip & Dale and Alvin & the Chipmunks.<\/div>\n
Some of you have been asking about the cast of Hoodwinked 2<\/span>. I’m very excited to report that Weinstein Company has lined up some fantastic talent for this movie. Now that everyone has been locked in, I can give you some names! As far as I know, this is the first place this cast has been announced.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Many of the original cast have returned. Glenn Close<\/a>\u00a0is still Granny, and Patrick Warburton<\/span><\/a>\u00a0remains The Wolf (very, very happy about that).\u00a0Nicky Flippers will once again be performed by David Ogden Stiers<\/span><\/a>. Andy Dick<\/span><\/a>\u00a0has voiced Boingo again (that’s right, Boingo is still around, as unstable as ever… but not the greatest threat this time).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
And yes, yes, yes, for everyone who keeps asking, THE GOAT IS BACK. Japeth the singing goat will appear again, voiced by my good buddy\u00a0Benjy Gaither<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There are some brand new and very cool additions to this sequel. This time around, Red will not be voiced by Anne Hathaway, but by Hayden Panettiere<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>the “super cheerleader” from\u00a0Heroes<\/span>. This seems very fitting, since Red becomes a bit more of a “caped crusader” in this film. The Woodsman is now being voiced by comedy legend Martin Short<\/span><\/a>. Martin Short! He was an “Amigo” for Pete’s sake.\u00a0Crazy. Those are the new folks stepping into old roles.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

As for new characters, without giving any plot away, I will tell you that Joan Cusack<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is a new villainous witch, and\u00a0Brad Garrett<\/a>\u00a0is The Giant from the notorious beanstalk. \u00a0David Alan Grier<\/span><\/a>\u00a0plays a troll, which should be really funny… I heard he was off the charts with the ad-libs. And finally, all you <\/span>SNL fans will be psyched to know that\u00a0<\/span>Amy Poehler<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and<\/span> Bill Hader<\/span><\/a>\u00a0will be voicing Hansel & Gretel. How’s that for a cast?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Oh, and me. I’m in it. Saying “whoopee” a lot.<\/div>\n

That’s all for now. Stay twitchy.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
