British songstress Lily Allen will follow in the footsteps of musicians Les Claypool, Kiss, Korn, and the Beatles and undergo the animation process. Although the other musicians became cartoons for the purpose of singing theme songs, solving mysteries, and ridding the world of Blue Meanies, Allen’s alter-ego is serving the government: The singer will star in a short film promoting Unionlearn, a program meant to encourage nontraditional students to develop new job skills.

Allen might seem like an odd choice for a vocational educational project, given her famous father and the fact that she dropped out of school at fifteen, but the singer partook of a horticulture program when things looked dim for her music career. The cartoon will be broadcast online for audiences in the United States, with more details following this spring. [NME]
