Stanley Tucci has revealed he loves working on animation films because they are so much fun.
Tucci has lent his voice to The Wind Rises - which hits the big screen tomorrow.
The Wind Rises is the latest film from Studio Ghibli, and the last movie from director Hayao Miyazaki.
He explained: "I love doing animated films. It's fun because you don't really have to wear make-up, stand out in the cold or go too far away from home.
"So it's really fun. And you get to play like you're a kid again.
"But I also looked at the film and found it so beautiful. It was such an interesting story and I wanted to be involved in it."
The Wind Rises is the second animation film of the year for Tucci, who also lend his voice to Mr Peabody & Sherman earlier in 2014.
However, the actor will be back on the big screen later this year as he has completed work on Wild Card, A Little Chaos and Transformers: Age of Extinction.
He will also be reprising the role of Caesar Flickerman in the two parts of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay.
'The Wind Rises' is released in UK cinemas on 9 May from Studiocanal.
