CYRUS & JONAS' SIBLINGS LAND ROLES IN MIYAZAKI MOVIE

The younger siblings of MILEY CYRUS and the JONAS BROTHERS have teamed up for a new animated movie.
Noah Cyrus and Frankie Jonas will voice a goldfish and a young boy, respectively, in filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki’s acclaimed new film Ponyo.
The movie has already been a hit in the Far East and producers Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy are hoping to secure the project's success in America by redubbing the movie with familiar voices.
The movie, which closed the Los Angeles Film Festival on Sunday (28Jun09), is a loose adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale The Little Mermaid. It has already made over $180 million (£120 million) globally and is released in the U.S. in August (09).
The American release will feature the voices of Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett and Liam Neeson, as well as Noah Cyrus, who plays the title character, and the young Jonas brother, who is known as 'the Bonus Jonas' among fans of his brothers' pop group.
Miyazaki's films are always acclaimed - he is the only anime filmmaker to have won the animation Oscar, for Spirited Away. His 2005 film Howl’s Moving Castle was also Oscar nominated.
