Who is the voice behind the smile of the Cheshire Cat in Burton's ALICE?

Hey folks, Harry here... Being the voice of the Cheshire Cat in an ALICE IN WONDERLAND film has always been a plum role. In many ways, it has always been the iconic role. Something about that smile and crazy zany existence that makes the Cheshire Cat... psychedelic and freaky. In the classic Animated film, the cat was voiced by Sterling Holloway. However, we've also had everyone from Richard Arlen to Telly Savalas to Whoopi Goldberg playing the pussy with the dynamite smile and cheshire grin. So who has Tim Burton tapped to voice the Cheshire Cat in his partly motion-captured 3D ALICE IN WONDERLAND? Well, according to Stephen Fry's Twitter he is going to be the Cheshire Cat and he announced it thusly, "Playing Cheshire Cat. Smug, complacent, cheese-eating grin - moi? Walking off to studio in next ten minutes." Personally, I think he's perfect for the part, you? Harry
