The Big Bang Theory's Melissa Rauch and New Girl's Max Greenfield have joined forces in a new movie project, and it's one you may not have been expecting.

The pair will voice Gwen the cat and Roger the dog respectively in Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite!, the upcoming third instalment in the Cats & Dogs franchise.

Entertainment Weekly has revealed the first trailer for the new family movie, which gives us our first listen to Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz and Schmidt as we've never heard them before.

The new movie is a follow-up to 2001's Cats & Dogs and its 2010 sequel Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore.

According to the publication, Paws Unite! picks up 10 years after The Great Truce, which established a surveillance system created and monitored by both cats and dogs in order to improve feline-canine relations.

It's not long, however, before a villainous parrot (George Lopez) threatens the inter-species peace and sets out to manipulate cats and dogs into turning against each other again by hacking into wireless networks and sending messages using frequencies only they can hear.

To put a stop to the parrot's nefarious behaviour, Gwen (Rauch) and Roger (Greenfield) are forced to team up to lead a group of inexperienced agents and attempt to bring peace back to the animal world.

Cats and Dogs 3: Paws Unite! will be released in September and, unlike its predecessors, it will skip cinemas to be released straight to DVD, Blu-Ray and digital.

Another Big Bang Theory cast member recently responded to casting talk of his own, as Sheldon Cooper star Jim Parsons revealed why he's never starred in American Horror Story.
