The voice cast of Disneytoon Studios’ The Pirate Fairy has expanded by one. Singer/songwriter/actor Carlos Ponce will be lending his voice to the character of ‘Bonito’ – a sensitive pirate – in the family-friendly film.

Here’s the description of Bonito, courtesy of the studio: “Serving as rigger alongside James and Zarina in the film, the huge Spaniard can throw a harpoon a hundred yards. But Bonito is quite passionate about sewing, not only the ship’s sails but also applying dainty double-stitched seams to his fairy captain’s tiny outfits. The swashbuckling new adventure about an ambitious, but misunderstood dust-keeper fairy who joins forces with a band of pirates sets sail April 1, 2014.”

Directed by Peggy Holmes, the voice cast also includes Tom Hiddleston, Christina Hendricks, Mae Whitman, Megan Hilty, Lucy Liu, Raven-Symoné, and Anjelica Huston.

The Plot:

The Pirate Fairy charts a course for the most exciting Disney Fairies adventure ever! When a misunderstood dust-keeper fairy named Zarina steals Pixie Hollow’s all-important Blue Pixie Dust, and flies away to join forces with the pirates of Skull Rock, Tinker Bell and her fairy friends must embark on the adventure of a lifetime to return it to its rightful place. However, in the midst of their pursuit of Zarina, Tink’s world is turned upside down. She and her friends find that their respective talents have been switched and they have to race against time to retrieve the Blue Pixie Dust and return home to save Pixie Hollow.
