The voice cast for the forthcoming US release of Ponyo on the Cliff By the Sea has surfaced thanks to GhibliWorld.

The production is being helmed by Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy, while the voice talent cast will feature Matt Damon, Tina Fey, Cate Blanchett, Liam Neeson, Lily Tomlin, Betty White, Fankie Jonas, Noah Cyrys and Cloris Leachman.

This continues Disney’s tradition of using Hollywood talent to dub Studio Ghibli works once they are licensed for release in the US with test screenings currently underway for a limited US theatrical release in 2009 followed by a DVD/Blu-Ray release later in the year.
