Jamie Foxx ("Dreamgirls," "Valentine's Day," "Law Abiding Citizen") is set to voice an animated character in 20th Century Fox Animation's "Welcome to the Jungle," based on Foxx's original idea and written by Malcolm Spellman "Family Wedding."

Foxx will co-produce with partner Jamie Rucker King via their company FoxxKing Entertainment.

Foxx, who recently won a Grammy award for "Blame It," will also write original music for the animated feature.

Although the plotline is still being kept under wraps, Spellman gave a hint, "Life is a jungle and welcome to it."

Spellman adds, "I'm psyched about 'Welcome to the Jungle' because it's specifically built to utilize Jamie's talent with voices and as a musician."
