The story centers on a retired, skateboarding veterinarian who lives in a remote Scottish village and who spearheads the rescue of an illegal fugitive who also happens to be a beaver.
Connery will provide the voice of the lead role while Bassey will sing the title song "Guardian of the Highlands".
Alan Cumming, Miriam Margolyes, Ruby Wax, Alex Norton, Ford Kiernan, Greg Hempill, Barbara Rafferty, Larry Sullivan and newcomer Chris Jai Alex also lend voices to the movie.
Bassey sung the opening credits songs for three films in the James Bond series, two of which starred Connery as 007 - 1964's "Goldfinger" and 1971's "Diamonds Are Forever". The third was Moonraker with Sir Roger Moore as 007.
"Goldfinger" has become a classic, often cited as the quintessential 007 movie, and the theme is both one of cinema's most memorable and nearly fifty years on remains Bassey's signature tune.
The husband-and-wife team Sascha and Tessa Hartmann direct the project which is in post-production and will be completed sometime next year.
This is good news not just because of the "reunion" and all but also it ensures that 2003’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen will not be Connery's last film credit!!
