"The kid in me is barely being contained right now -- I'm so happy to get the chance to work on my first animated film," said Colfer of the role.

"We are absolutely ecstatic that Chris has chosen Robodog as his first foray into animation. Coupled with Ron's extraordinary voiceover work, the duo’s talent will make for great chemistry onscreen," said Marza's CEO Masanao Maeda.
Perlman's voiceover work has included Disney's Tangled and Fox's Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.
Marza is a subsidiary of Japanese game-maker Sega Sammy, has offices in L.A. and Tokyo, and worked on last year's 3D CG epic Space Pirate Captain Harlock for Toei Animation.
Robodog is currently in pre-production, with voiceover work set to start on Feb.1.
The UK's Timeless Films will be representing Robodog at the European Film Market in Berlin next month.

 “Glee” star Chris Colfer and Ron Perlman have come on board to Marza Animation Planet’s animated film “Robodog,” to be directed by Henry F. Anderson III (“Stuart Little”).      Timeless Films is handling international rights and will present “Robodog” to buyers at next month’s European Film Market in Berlin.      Paul Wang is producing “Robodog” with Robert Reece and William Schneider writing. Voiceover work starts Feb. 1.      Colfer’s voicing an energetic but naive robotic dog and Perlman is supplying the voice to a curmudgeonly real dog, set in his ways with little patience for anything new.      The project is Colfer’s first animated role. He also wrote and starred in “Struck By Lightning,” directed by Brian Dannelly.      Perlman’s voiceover work includes “Tangled,” “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters” and the upcoming “The Book of Life.”

The nice thing about being a lead character for an original animated character is that many times they will adjust the character's facial and body tics for the actor portraying them.  

Did we mention he's one of the two LEADS?

Ranwing wrote:I've loved Ron Pearlman ever since Beauty and the Beast (and does that date me) and he's got an amazingly sexy voice. Cannot wait to see what kind of mad chemistry we get between these two.
