Demi Lovato's acting prowess will be at work again as she is set to perform the voicing of Smurfette in the upcoming Smurfs' sequel, Get Smurfy.

"I'm so excited to announce that I will be voicing Smurfette in the new fully-animated Smurfs movie," the 22-year old former Disney child star announced in a promotional Youtube video via TV3.

Demi will replace the pop icon, Katy Perry who was involved in the first movie installments released in 2011 and 2013.

Demi joins other co-stars 49-year old Rainn Wilson and 62-year old father figure Mandy Patinkin in the video.

Rain Wilson is set to pray the evil wizard Gargamel's character while Patinkin will play Papa Smurf's role.

In the video, Wilson said, "Hi there, Rainn Wilson here, and I am very proud to announce that in 2017 there's going to be a brand new Gargamel movie."

"Wait, what? No, no, no, no, no. My agent told me it's a Gargamel movie. Gargamel 2017!'" he answered comically.

"'Rainn, I'm Mandy Potinkin. I've always dreamed of having 99 kids and having them listen to me. So I'm very happy to be voicing Papa Smurf in Get Smurfy," he said as transcribed by Mail Online.
