Angelina Jolie to voice "Kung Fu Panda"

　　近几年，好莱坞动画片有着非常强劲的势头，大牌明星出邀为动物们配音，而动画形象制作又往往根据配音演员的外貌特征来设计，如《鲨鱼黑帮》中那条厚嘴唇高眉毛、由安吉利娜·朱莉配音的小鱼就披足了这位好莱坞超级明星的光环。日前，梦工厂电影公司宣布，梦工厂新片《功夫熊猫》再度邀请安吉利娜·朱莉为该片配音，朱莉将负责片中“母老虎”的声音。另外，著名华人巨星成龙也已被确定出邀该片的配音阵容。

　　Tigress, a character in the upcoming Dreamworks Animation's production "Kung-Fu Panda", is shown in this undated publicty photo released July 10, 2006.
