Singer/musician, actor, producer and writer Nick Cannon (Drumline, Chi-Raq) will lead the star-studded voice cast for Pierre the Pigeon-Hawk — a new, musically-driven animated family feature from Exodus Film Group and Cannon’s own Ncredible Entertainment. The roster also features EGOT-winner Whoopi Goldberg, Kenan Thompson, Jennifer Coolidge and veteran animation voicer E.G. Daily.
John D. Eraklis of Exodus is directing, with Cannon overseeing the music. Ciaran Crampton and Chase Muratore of Sugar Water Entertainment are producing and financing. Michael Goldman is executive producer. Exodus is providing production services and handling sales.
Pierre the Pigeon-Hawk is a family comedy set in New York City, where Pierre (Cannon), the product of forbidden love between a hawk and a pigeon, grows up outcast from both bird communities. Determined to find a place where he belongs, Pierre set out on a journey of self-discovery, befriending unlikely animal companions: a bear that’s escaped from Central Park Zoo, a brilliant but mad owl, and a pair of streetwise city squirrels. Along the way, PIerre finds a way to inspire animals from all backgrounds to be more open-minded.
Goldberg voices Pierre’s mother, Coolidge voices his aunt, and Thompson plays Sniff — one of the hilarious, smooth-talking squirrels.
