John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and David Eisenmann are producing for Skydance Animation.
Sam will be voiced by Eva Noblezada with Simon Pegg providing the voice for Bob, a lucky black cat who becomes Sam’s partner in the journey. The rest of the voice cast includes Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg, Flula Borg, Lil Rel Howery, Colin O’Donoghue, John Ratzenberger and Adelynn Spoon.
