Simon Pegg (Star Trek Beyond), Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things) and Ramy Youssef (The Ramy) are set to lend their voices to Hump, an independent animated feature from veteran Pixar artist Rob Gibbs.
Variety reports that the film follows a timid a young camel, who sets off on a journey across the Arabian Desert with a pair of unlikely companions, an ill-tempered goat and an overconfident desert fox, in order to reunite with his owner and best friend, a 10-year-old Bedouin boy.
Matarazzo will voice the camel, with Youssef portraying his human best friend Omar and Pegg playing a villainous badger.
The project is being produced by Alexander Weimer, Esther Friedrich and Sundance Audience Award-winner Amin Matalqa (Captain Abu Raed), who penned the script with Matt Antonelli. The German-Belgian co-production is now in pre-production and the film is expected to be completed in 2020.
