Reel News: Ludacris Gets Animated in Lil' Pimp

01-12-05
. (press release) Ludacris is starring as a foul-mouthed ferret named Weathers in the animated feature "Lil' Pimp," which is about a 9 year old boy who saves the pimpin' game. The DVD hit stores on Jan. 11th and also features appearances by Bernie Mac, Lil Kim, William Shatner and Carmen Electra.
Synopsis: Lil' Pimp is based on the Internet animated series created by former rock musicians turned journalists turned directors, Mark Brooks and Peter Gilstrap. South Park meets hip hop in Lil' Pimp. The little boy just doesn't seem to fit in at home in squeaky-clean suburbia. His only friend is a foul-mouthed talking gerbil, Weathers (Ludacris). Then one day, by accident, he runs into a bodacious working girl, Sweet Chiffon (Lil' Kim), who takes him to a bar called The Playground, a hip-hop wonderland where he befriends master pimp Fruit Juice (Bernie Mac) and is introduced to the world of pimping. There's no place like the Playground and Lil' Pimp calls it home.

But his new life is endangered by the machinations of the city's scheming, duplicitous mayor Tony Gold (William Shatner). Unless Gold can be exposed for the conniving, double-crossing politician that he is, the Playground and the neighborhood surrounding it will be transformed into a toxic golf course. And Lil' Pimp will be forced to return to the horrors of life in suburbia.
