So... She's playing Eleanor then?

JoJo, Miley, what's a difference? They all are the same thing right?

No... now we're getting mixed up here...

The rumored casting call is...

Drew Barrymore as Brittany
Jojo as Jeanette
Miley Cyrus as Eleanor

Okay I got that. The last posts I was referring to Miley playing Eleanor.

But it's kind of funny that she is because it seems like she would want to be the center of attention. So that is kind of an off choice for a roll.

I hear you, lol! I've kind of felt the same way about Drew Barrymore being an off-choice for Brittany, mainly because she's not as young as the other actors supplying the voices; NOT implying that she's too old (because she's only in her 30s I believe), but everyone is like in their late teens to like mid 20s or so.

*Sighs* Again, call me a purist, but I really feel that Ross and Janice should just stick to doing the voices, as do a lot of other people, but then again, according to Twentieth Century Fox, they don't have marketable names (one of the main reasons Ross Sr. created his "David Seville" alias).

Not to mention the fact that, as most people here have already pointed out, Eleanor would then have a southern accent! Reminds me of what MrsPepper once said about how she can still hear my southern accent no matter what kind of silly voice I'm doing. :zany:

Well some say they are interchangeable characters, but I think they should just stick to Ross and Janice as well. The acting definitely would be an improvement.

Exactly! It's not like they're dead or anything! Heck, June Foray got to reprise her role as Rocky the Flying Squirrel for that Rocky and Bullwinkle movie!

And as we know, most of the Fraggle performers are reprising their roles for the upcoming film. XD
