Join Cast Of Voices For “SIAN KA'AN” –The First Hispanic Themed & Produced Animated Major Motion Picture

They Join Michelle Rodriguez, Placido Domingo, Alfred Molina & Cheech Marin In A Quickly Growing Cast of Bi-Lingual Stars That Have Provided Voices For Both English & Spanish Markets

As word continues to spread about the production of SIAN KA’AN, the first all Hispanic themed and produced animated major motion picture (already reported on in Entertainment Weekly, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Billboard & more), a combination of established, and new Latino stars continue to step forward and lend their voices for the film’s characters.

With a planned musical aspect to the film, it was natural for the multi-talented Ruben Blades and Carlos Ponce to join the project, as both are well-established Latin singers as well as actors. Also joining the cast, and sure to bring a wealth of laughs is leading Hispanic comedian Paul Rodriguez. And representing the new generation of fast-rising young Latin actors is Erick Elias - winner of Telemundo’s top-rated “Protagonistas de Novela 2”.

Cast by Tu Casa Entertainment for the MUVI Films production, these acclaimed personalities join a growing roster of bi-lingual stars - already including Michelle Rodriguez, Placido Domingo, Alfred Molina & Cheech Marin - that have provided voices for the film’s future release in both English and Spanish markets.

Produced by Hispanic owned and operated MUVI Films based in Puerto Rico, SIAN KA'AN will be directed by Raul Garcia who boasts a long-line of animation credits, including sequence director on The Wild Thornberrys and Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius and as an animator on such classics as Beauty and the Beast, Pocahantas, Lion King, Aladdin, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and many more.

SIAN KA'AN will tell the story of María, a young girl who is living a normal life in a small town in Mexico when she is "awakened" for a special mission: To rescue her father and to save from extinction the "Golden Snail," which is inextricably linked to the survival of all species on Earth. During her journey, María will encounter a large cast of characters, human, animal and celestial, that will assist her mission and help her discover her true identity.
