After starring as Allan Quartermain in the somewhat lacklustre ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (film)\|The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'' movie, Connery retired from acting. Some suggest that these facts are related, that the film was so terrible that he just gave up; [[Your Mileage May Vary\|others disagree]]. He has steadfastly refused to come out of retirement, including refusing a cameo in ''[[Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull]]''. However, he has returned to voice the main character in the Scottish animated film ''Sir Billi.'' The film's site is [http://www.billiproductions.com/home.php here], and it looks... well...
