Washington
(ANI):
Jada
Pinkett
Smith
and
Ben
Stiller
have
landed
voice
work
for
their
kids
in
the
sequel
of
Madagascar.
Pinkett
Smith's
daughter
Willow
and
Stiller's
kids
Quinlin
and
Ella
all
won
parts
in
the
animated
movie,
and
their
parents
couldn't
have
been
prouder.
"It
was
so
cute
because
she'd
been
asking,
"How
does
that
work?
How
does
the
animation
thing
work?
Mommy,
what
happens?" Showbiz
Spy
quoted
her,
as
saying.
"So,
it
was
great
when
I
got
the
phone
call
saying,
"Would
Willow
like
to
play
little
Gloria?"
My
character
as
a
child?"
She
got
to
come
in
and
do
some
lines,"
she
added.
But
Stiller
insists
he
wasn't
completely
comfortable
when
he
got
his
kids
into
the
studio
to
record
spots.
He
said:
"They
don't
like
to
be
told
to
do
anything,
but
when
my
son
got
in
front
of
the
microphone,
he
was
good.
"He
just
had
fun
and
he
was,
like,
making
sounds,
and
we
were
saying,
like,
"Oh,
be
happy,
be
sad."
Then
he
started
to
get
a
little
bit
intimidated
by
the
microphone
and
the
whole
thing.
"That's
when
you
start
to
feel
like
you're
this
horrible
stage
parent
telling
them,
'Laugh!
Cry!'.
But
I'm
happy
that
they're
both
in
the
movie...
I
was
happy
that
they
weren't
getting
up
there
and
going
all
(child
star)
Shirley
Temple
or
something."
