METALLICA's HETFIELD And ULRICH Get Animated

November 12, 2003

METALLICA's James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich will make their animation debut in an episode for the new animated comedy series, "Disney's Dave the Barbarian", from Walt Disney Television Animation.

Scheduled to premiere in January 2004, the show follows the title character's comedic adventures with his offbeat family — including his primping older sister Candy and his fierce younger sister Fang — as they protect themselves and their kingdom from a world of hilariously odd foes. Complicating matters is brawny Dave's non-barbarian demeanor — he prefers the finer things in life, like origami, bird watching and gourmet cooking. But with a combination of Dave's brute strength and his fine art skills, villains don't stand a chance. The majority of the episodes are split into 11-minute cartoons with two comedic adventures per episode.

James and Lars will appear in a single episode as rogue teenage dragons. No specific airdate has been given for their appearance.
