By Krista Desens

Madonna and Snoop Dogg have a new acting gig, but you won't be seeing either star on the big screen. Instead, you'll hear them.

MTV.com reports that Madonna and Snoop will voice two of the characters in the forthcoming, computer - animated movie, "Arthur and the Minimoys." Madonna can be heard as Princess Selenia, while Snoop voices a character named Max. The film is based on the series of children's books penned by director and author Luc Besson, who also directs the feature.

According to iMDB.com, another famous musician is involved with the project. Listen for David Bowie, who plays the character, Maltazard.

"Arthur and the Minimoys" is scheduled for release sometime next year.
