The 3D animation movie "Jock of the Bushveld", which is based on a 1907 South African literary classic, has been given voices by a lot of celebrities. The movie recounts the real life adventures of well known South African explorer and author of the bestseller on which it is based, Percy Fitzpatrick, and his puppy Jock, who has gained national icon status.
