According to Variety, the celebrated actor will lend his pipes to an animated film for the first time ever — "The Guardians" — due in 2012 from Dreamworks Animation.

In the run up to the animated film, Leo has a host of projects on the way including the Martin Scorsese directed "Shutter Island," which is due out in February 2010.
