Actor Kazuki Enari and actress Erika Toda have been given their first voice-acting roles in a movie. Along with young actor Ryunosuke Kamiki, they will play major roles in the Japanese dub of the French semi-animated film "Arthur and the Minimoys," directed and written by Luc Besson.

The Japanese distributor for the film created a list of candidates for the roles, but Besson had the final say. He chose Kamiki as the protagonist Arthur, Toda as Princess Selenia, and Enari as Betameche.

The movie premieres in Japan this September.
