reepicheep?

[knightsmithers]

Any ideas on who should do the voice of reepicheep? hes a great character, and i think it would be a great adition to the movie if they got someone who did a really good job with him. he could be hilariuos.

[Phinix]

thats a good thought but hay it wont probly come out till 1007at least most like 2008 sooooooooooo ya get the point

[Puzzle dear]

If only reepicheep were spanish, because then Antonio Banderez could do it! Just kidding...he he he. :o

[Aslan the Wise one]

I think Ian M the man you played Gandalf should do it!.

[Phinix]

ya know actuly That could work...Or at least I think it could...but hay most say im to obsesed with Caspian so...

[DeplorableWord]

I wonder what kind of a voice would fit Reepicheep... he's a small mouse so you'de think squeaky... but he's a strong leader, fighter, and just plain creature, ya know? So... a strong... voice?

[SK21]

I think your right, Ian M would do a good job of playing the mouse, certainly another of my fave characters

I believe his voice was high in the books, but I might object to something nasal (sp?). There's gotta be a way to make the voice high but still strong.

That would happen if Ian M wouldn't have died...he's dead, isn't he?? If I'm wrong please correct me!!!

[knightsmithers]

pretty sure hes still alive. i think u mite be thinking of the guy who played Dumbeldore in teh first 2 harry potters. he croaked.

idk about macellen tho, i always pictured reepicheeps voice as high and squeaky, not at all like gandalfs.

[ArrowsOfSilver]

hmm...im torn.

1. i think Ian McKellen (sp?!) would make a good Reep.

2. i dont really think he is the best choice. i am sure that there is someone....isnt there like some kind of move-voice-person??? there should be...

**afterthought**

what about one of the hobbits from LOTR??????? like Elijah, Dom, or Billy???

just a thought.

"Sire!" came a shrill voice from near the ground. - Prince Caspian

"Hail Aslan!" came his shrill voice. - Prince Caspian

Reepicheep put forward his left leg, drew back his right, bowed, kissed her hand, straightened himself, twirled his whiskers, and said in his shrill, piping voice: "My humble duty to your Majesty. And to King Edmund, too." (Here he bowed again.) "Nothing except your Majesties' presence was lacking to this glorious venture." - Dawn Treader


I don't think Ian would work, though I'm not sure who would. It'd definately be a hard part to fill I would think...and an important one.

Thanks for correcting me!! Sometimes I get a little confused with this movies... :rolleyes:

I agree...they need to find another person for the voice.

[SilverSea]

I think Andy Sirkis (don't know how to spell his last name, lol) the voice of Gullum (i'm sure he can do many other voices as well) or Robin Williams

so, janice from friends is a no go then?

(totally kidding people)

[onlymystory]

oh, and I would be willing to bet that no one from LOTR or HP will be used in any of the CON movies. I would imagine they want to keep all 3 major fantasy sagas separate. In the movie companion some of the WETA guys actually talk about this challenge.

[unleavened]

Hmm, that's interesting. I think I'd prefer it that way, though.

[MrBeaver]

Get Robin Williams to do it! He can do a strong squeaking voice, probably. :p

[elfjad]

I think a shrill, piping voice with a hint of a French accent. The name Reepicheep sound wonderful in a French accent and he reminded me of the French aristocracy or the Musketeers from a few centuries ago e.g. curling his whiskers, fighting for honour etc. However, I don't know any actors with shrill, French-like voices and, if it was overdone, it would be really corny!

[Rhyanidd]

I always thought that he just had a normal voice ya know???...and who cares if Reepicheep isnt spanish?? If antonio benderz (sp?) can do it right I dont care!! And that little rascal is one of my most favorite characters so umm I am more obsessed with him then the rest of you put together!!! so my vote should count for more!!!!*grin* :p

[Deeper_Wonderment]

If only reepicheep were spanish, because then Antonio Banderez could do it! Just kidding...he he he. :o

Hey, it could work, what with the way he's always twirling his whiskers as if they were a mustache. :D

Something tells me it'll be someone with a British accent though. And I've always imagined his voice as pretty chirpy myself.

[lionessofgod]

It would have to be someone English, because in all the Narnia books, I think of all the characters having English voices.

[inTHEwardrobe]

Here's a thought.

How about Joe Pasquale?

He has a fairly strong voice, but it's also very high :D

If anyone doesn't know who he is, it's this man :

I think he'd be okay, maybe not the best choice, but it's certainly a high, male voice, and it's the first one I thought of.

Yet I agree about the hint of a French accent maybe, not strong but just a teeny tinge on the tip of the tongue that some French people have. Plus, a younger, but not young voice. If you get what I mean.

[Puzzle dear]

In the LWW movie Maugrim was voiced by an American. Why do they have to be British? I don't have anything against British accented characters, it's just that I don't think all of them have to be British.

Anyway, I imagine Reepicheep as sort of the Puss in Boots of Narnia. He looks so cute and cuddly on the outside, you just want to pick him up and cuddle him. But he could gut you like a fish before you could say Cair Paravel.

hehehe. That made me laugh. When I read that I pictured a mouse doing the whole Puss in Boots thing with the sword.

Instead of "Puss...(Carve P into the side of the tree) In Boots"
Something like "Ree...(Carve R into the side of a tree) picheep"

[Renard_Rouge]

I think they'll go with a woman using a more masculine tone, the voice will have to be shrill and child like, it would not be reasonable for anything else to come out of a small body, and most of the time when casters need such a voice they use a woman, like the fact that a woman voices Bart Simpson.
As for an Actress...donno, but I'd say some one with voice over experiance.

[FVD]

Sir Anthony Hopkins is my first suggestion. Or Pete Postlethwaite. Then again I wouldn't mind them being among the 13 Dwarfs in the Hobbit movie should that ever come out.

FVD.

I think in Reepicheep's case they can deviate from the book and not give him a high squeeky voice. Reepicheep is NOT a comic figure and should be treated with respect. Does anyone remember the The King and Odie Show?
http://www.toontracker.com/totaltv/kingodie.htm
The voice of Odie is a very good model of how Reepicheep's voice could be handled - a soft, mid-range mans voice which is very measured and courtly.

I think that takes away from his character though. I think one of the reasons Lewis chose to give him that shrill voice was so that he could set up confrontations with other characters who doubt him. If you give him a more normal voice then it lessens that aspect of his character. For example, give him Anthony Hopkins voice and it seems a little rediculous to challenge him...even perhaps at his size. You give him a lordly voice and it ruins his character in my opinion. Reep's a character that always has to prove himself, that's what's admirable about him. He is the prime example that appearances can be deceving, and his voice is a big part of the impression he gives off to others. Reep proves himself through actions, I say keep the shrill voice. Give him a girl's voice as was suggested.

[WiseEdmund]

what about rowan atkinson.i think he could actually do the part rather well. he has the masculinity and he does have penchant for hitting high notes on occasion :D seriously, i think it would be perfect

I dunno, I've never seen him in a serious role...always comedy. He may be able to hit the tone but I don't know if he can play the role. Not saying he can't, I just don't know that he could.

[Rhyanidd]

I understand wanting to keep Reep as close to the book as possiable...but he was respectable, though also rather amusing, but a lot of people will not take him seriously if he has a squeaky voice.....and they wont be able to get past it.....errrk people!!!

[NarniaEdd]

Tom Hanks !! :D

[Rhyanidd]

Nooooooooo! Not Tom Hanks!!

[Queen Lucy the Valiant]

Maybe Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp????????

[Rhyanidd]

dont really care about the first to but I dont think that Colin Firth (if he is the guy I think he is)would do a good job. Hugh Grant...maybe. O.B. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!NONONONO!!!NEVER!!I WOULD NOT WATCH THE MOVIE! AND I WOULD LIKE WRIGHT A LETTER TELLING THAT GUY WHY!!...! NO! and Johny Depp...maybe.

[petersusanlucyedmond]
