The animated film Doogal coming our way from The Weinstein Company has an interesting history. The first trailer I saw for the film-- available on the Doogal Movie Page --previewed voices such as Robbie Williams.
However, after being told that the Weinstein's had gotten a hold of the film we were given another trailer that had, well, different voices. It seems that a 'domestic' cast was a better option than an international one.

Below is the first and final movie poster for the upcoming film Doogal.
Legend tells of three magic diamonds that, if in the wrong hands, can be united to create a force powerful enough to freeze the sun. When the evil sorcerer, Zeebad (Jon Stewart), escapes from his ancient prison, he vows to exact revenge by deep-freezing the earth forever.

Determined to save the world, a fellowship of four unlikely heroes band together to foil Zeebad’s villainous plot. Led by the candy-loving mutt Doogal (Kenan Thompson), friends Dylan (Jimmy Fallon), Brian (William H. Macy), and Ermintrude (Whoopi Goldberg) embark on an epic adventure to save the world. To find the diamonds before Zeebad, they must climb icy mountains, navigate fiery pits of molten lava, sail across vast oceans, and pass through a booby-trapped temple guarded by an army of ninja skeleton warriors.
Along the way they learn that their most powerful weapon is their friendship – which, even Zeebad’s evil magic cannot destroy.
We first encountered the design to Doogal when the film was titled The Magic Roundabout.
I even think the film is already available for rental in some countries. However, I could be wrong on that one.
Talk about a big change, but I guess that is what it takes to make it happen.
Doogal will come to theatres on February 24th.
