Big name voices for new children’s movie

French director Luc Besson has lined up music stars Madonna, David Bowie and Snoop Dogg to voice his new children's movie Arthur.

Hollywood trade newspaper Variety reports that Mia Farrow and Finding Neverland star Freddie Highmore will feature in the movie, which will mix live action and 3D animation.

Highmore plays Arthur, a little boy who turns to the pixie-like Minimoys to help save his grandfather's house.

Farrow plays his mother while Madonna, Bowie and Snoop Dogg provide voices for the animated characters.
