Snoop Dogg, Will.i.am, Jennifer Hudson to voice feature in 'Pierre The Pigeon-Hawk'

Rappers Snoop Dogg, Will.i.am and actor-singer Jennifer Hudson have joined the voice cast of animated movie ''Pierre The Pigeon-Hawk''.

The star-studded cast of the film also includes Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Coolidge, Kenan Thompson, Howie Mandel, Luis Guzman, Domenick Lombardozzi, Paul Blackthorne, Jamal Trulove, Evan Ross, and Ashlee Simpson.

The film hails from Exodus Film Group and will be directed by John D Eraklis, according to Deadline.

The story follows Pierre (will.i.am), who is born as a product of forbidden love between a hawk (Goldberg) and a pigeon (Mandel). Pierre is rejected by both communities. Tired of not fitting in, Pierre sets out on a mission to discover where he truly belongs.

''During his adventure, he unites with a band of unlikely friends including a bear that has recently escaped from the Central Park Zoo, Ophelia the owl (Hudson) whose genius is outweighed only by her madness, and a pair of rag tag, pop-cultured city squirrels, including the attitude-laden Scratch (Snoop) and Sniff (Thompson). ''Amidst a journey of self-discovery, Pierre finds the courage to inspire animals from all backgrounds to change their ways and open their minds to a new way of thinking. It will take a hybrid bird to unite a hybrid world,'' the official logline read.

Eraklis will also serve as the film's producer alongside Ciaran Crampton and Chase Muratore. Trulove, Delbert Whetter, Sentwali Holder and Jennifer Fowler will executive produce.
