Kylie is providing the voice of Florence in Magic Roundabout

[Strike]

Heres a quote taken from a Kylie messageboard.

she is definitely providing the voice of Florence in the forthcoming animated version of the classic British TV show the Magic Roundabout. (wenn)

Imagine what Zebadees going to be like when he hears this.

Is Kylie using it to promote her music. I wonder what it's going to be like seeing Florence speak with a sexy Aussie accent and be able to sing.

Boingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!

 

[Zebedee]

I'm not sure I approve of this. Kylie as Florence? It'll never work. Florence was always such an innocent lass. Time for bed. Boingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg.

So then we have found Florence. Florence is Kylie.

Does sort of look like they're going for box office draw as opposed to talent though. I mean, Kylie and Robbie. Hardly great actors now are they?
As long as they keep the "Dougal goes mad on Sugarlumps" drugs references thoguh, I'll be first in line...
