GILL
is the brooding moorish idol leader of the tank gang who takes newcomer Nemo
under his fin. Willem Dafoe (“Platoon”) gave voice to Gill, who—like Nemo—hails
from the big blue. He’d give anything to go home.
BLOAT
is a blowfish with a tendency for emotional as well as literal blow-ups. Voiced
by Emmy® winner Brad Garrett (“Everybody Loves Raymond”), Bloat conducts the
tribal ceremony officially dubbing Nemo as “Shark Bait” and welcoming him into
the tank gang.
PEACH
is an astute starfish who has her eyes peeled at all times on behalf of the
entire tank gang. Allison Janney (“The Help”) provided the voice for Peach, a
perceptive matriarch who keeps a protective eye on Nemo.
GURGLE
is a quick-to-panic royal gramma with a fear of germs. He’s voiced by film and
stage veteran Austin Pendleton (“Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps”). Despite his
disdain for dirt, he’s all drama when the dentist foils their messy escape plan
with a new tank cleaner. “Curse you Aqua Scum!”
BUBBLES
is a bubble-obsessed yellow tang. Stephen Root (“J. Edgar”) lent his voice to
the effervescent character. “Bubbles! Bubbles! Bubbles!”
DEB
(& FLO) is a reflective blue-and-white humbug damsel fish who believes her
reflection is her twin sister. Voiced by Vicki Lewis (“How I Met Your Mother”),
Deb is always in touch with her “twin sister” Flo, who is always there when Deb
needs her. But Deb secretly doubts Flo’s mental capacity—“She’s nuts.”
JACQUES
is a fastidious cleaner shrimp. Late Pixar storyman Joe Ranft (“Toy Story 2” as
Wheezy, “A Bug’s Life” as Heimlich the caterpillar) gave Jacques a debonair
French accent. “Voila! He is clean.”
NIGEL
is a gossipy Australian pelican who’s befriended the tank gang despite the
potential conflict of interest. Academy Award®-winning actor Geoffrey Rush
(“The King’s Speech”) gave a top-flight performance.
MR.
RAY is a musical manta ray teacher. Pixar veteran Bob Peterson, one of the
screenplay writers for the film, provided Mr. Ray’s popular pipes, known for
clever, rhyming songs like, “Seaweed is cool. Seaweed is fun. It makes its food
from the rays of the sun.”
BRUCE
is a great white shark who desperately wants to stop eating fish. Voiced by
Barry Humphries (Dame Edna Everage), Bruce holds meetings for he and his shark
companions to share their problems and practice their motto—“Fish are friends,
not food.” Bruce’s vegetarian efforts get derailed when a minor injury to Dory
changes his friendly demeanor.
ANCHOR
is a soft-hearted hammerhead shark who believes a group hug can help his shark
pals’ problems. Eric Bana (“The Time Traveler’s Wife”) lent his voice to Anchor.
CHUM
is the hyperactive mako shark who “misplaces” his fish friend. Bruce Spence
provided his voice.
