In 2006, Sean Connery announced his retirement from acting, citing dissatisfaction with the state of the film industry. He publicly criticized Hollywood, stating he was fed up with "idiots now making films." Connery’s decision came after his experience working on the film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which he reportedly found frustrating. Despite stepping away, Connery briefly returned in 2012 to voice the title character in the animated film Sir Billi, which was a project he also executive produced.
