DiCaprio gets animated

Leonardo DiCaprio is set to get animated for the first time - he's signed on to voice a character based on Jack Frost.

The Titanic star will make his debut in the cartoon world with The Guardians, about a group of superheros who join forces to fight an evil spirit called Pitch.

The DreamWorks venture will see popular childhood characters Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and The Sandman transformed alongside Frost into an elite power squad.

Castmembers for other roles have yet to be announced, reports trade paper Daily Variety.
