Kelly Osbourne has joined the cast of Disney’s “The 7D,”
an animated series that delivers a comedic new take on the Seven Dwarfs. Produced by Disney Television Animation, the
zany and broadly appealing series will be presented on three Disney TV
platforms: Disney XD, Disney Channel and
Disney Junior beginning this summer.
Ms. Osbourne, who shared the news with fans via her Twitter
account today, said, “It may surprise some to
learn that I grew up watching Disney Channel, so playing a character in a
Disney cartoon is beyond exciting for me.” She continued,
“I’m having a blast voicing Hildy, who I’ve now come to think of as my
alter ego – she is my Sasha Fierce. The role has taught me so much about
acting – and Hildy’s a tough one to keep up with, so I wear workout clothes to
recording sessions because I jump and move around to really bring her to
life.”

Set in the contemporary and whimsical world of Jollywood, “The
7D” story finds the 7D – Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Dopey, Grumpy and
Doc – hard at work helping the quirky Queen Delightful (voiced by Leigh-Allyn
Baker of Disney Channel’s “Good Luck Charlie”) keep her kingdom in
order. Osbourne will voice the role of
Hildy Gloom, a novice witch who, together with her warlock husband Grim (voiced
by Emmy-nominated Jess Harnell of Disney Junior’s “Sofia
