Actress Jennifer Tilly says she was over the moon to lend her voice to an animated cow in the upcoming Disney film "Home on the Range."

"My manager calls me up and he says, 'Jennifer, you just got offered the lead in a major motion picture opposite Judi Dench" class="tpstyle">Dame Judi Dench,' and I was like: 'Oh, my God, these things never happen to me. What do I play?' And he said, 'A cow,'" the "Bullets Over Broadway" star told United Press International in a recent phone interview.

Both Dench and comedienne Roseanne also play cows in the film, she noted.

Tilly has lent her voice to characters in "Stuart Little" and "Monsters, Inc." and can now be seen in the live-action film "The Haunted Mansion."
