text: Gumball (formerly Zach) Tristopher Watterson (voiced by Logan Grove, different voice by Microsoft Sam, Paul Winchell) is a 12-year-old[4] mostly mischievous light blue cat who lives with his family in the fictional California city of Elmore. He attends Elmore Junior High in the seventh grade with his brother Darwin, who is 10 years old.[5] Often finding himself and Darwin in various antics which end up getting them into trouble, episodes in the series' first season characterized Gumball as well-meaning in his actions, but with naive tendencies; throughout the show's progression, he has since established himself as a more serious character capable of logical thinking and prone to sarcasm.

text:
Despite his rambunctious behavior and occasional lapses in judgement, he is a loyal, straightforward, and good-natured person at heart. A recurring theme throughout the series is his crush on his classmate Penny Fitzgerald, who in turn shares the same feelings for him. They initially struggle to properly express their feelings for each other until the episode "The Shell", where he finally works up the nerve to express his feelings to her after she reveals her true form, and they begin dating.[6] In the premiere of season 3 it is revealed that Gumball and Darwin are part of a small fraction of people who don't age past a certain point, which by the end of the episode causes them to regress to a point slightly before puberty. His middle name was supposed to be Christopher, but Richard confused it for Tristopher and it stuck.
Gumball is a very imaginative person. Despite his mediocre academic performance, he can be surprisingly brilliant when it comes to formulating all sorts of mischievous schemes. This side of him can be seen in episodes such as "The Plan," in which he quickly formulates a basic outline to he and his siblings plan to "save" their mother, and in "The Scam," in which he forms a crafty scheme that will allow him to cleanly heist the town's candy effortlessly. Such a side may also suggest Gumball is smarter than he lets on, as hinted by his expansive vocabulary, cooking skills, and ukulele skills as well.

text: Gumball is also an optimist. Despite his cynicism towards society itself, as seen in episodes such as "The Bumpkin" and "The Money," he is fairly positive in what to expect out of people (though there are exceptions). When his family is financially suffering in "The Money," he is quick to tell them of the joys of family and pushes them to be more optimistic. In "The Others," he's quick to reject Clare's notion of "no happy ending," only wanting to see her have a happy ending (no matter how forced it was). He is also happy to help others, as seen in "The Void," "The Upgrade," and "The Slide," in which in all three he went great lengths to assist Molly, Bobert, and Rocky, respectively.

text: In general, Gumball is very protective of his loved ones. On multiple occasions, he goes into a sort of "over-protective" mode whenever anybody tries to hurt his siblings, Darwin and Anais, as seen in "The Parasite," in which he tried to nearly poison Jodie when he thought she was hurting Anais, or in "The Rerun,"in which he aimlessly tried to attack Rob out of rage when Darwin died.

text: Despite being a good and positive person on the inside, Gumball is very snarky and sarcastic towards people who are not his family or his girlfriend, Penny (and even then, he can be a smart alec towards his siblings at times). He is quick to diffuse all sorts of quips towards others, ranging from harmless to sometimes blunt and rude. As demonstrated in episodes such as "The Stories" and "The Test," these snarky comments are impulsive and sometimes, he can not help it.

text: Gumball also has a fairly massive ego, which seems to be a fault of his. When not tamed properly, his ego can drive him to do some pretty jerky things. Darwin tapping into his musical talents in "The Triangle" caused Gumball to have short-lived jealousy towards him before he realized he was wrong. His ego also explains his relationship with Alan; the fact that Alan is so effortlessly loved drives Gumball to expose him for being scummier than he lets on (which later turns out to be accurate). This ego also makes him sensitive, as seen in "The Meddler," in which he is an emotional wreck when he was told his cheerleading performance was terrible. He is also known as MYBUTT in the episode The Conslole.

text: Darwin Raglan Caspian Ahab Poseidon Nicodemius Watterson, III (voiced by Kwesi Boakye) is a 10 year old[7] orange goldfish, and Gumball's best friend and adoptive brother. Initially given to Gumball as a pet, Darwin later sprouted legs and subsequently became a full member of the Watterson family. The series' first season depicted Darwin with a tendency to be more naive and gullible than others, due to his sudden introduction into the world; subsequent seasons established his more serious side, including the ability to think logically and, in "The Words", speak his mind freely.[8] Although Gumball can sometimes be a negative influence on him, Darwin is extremely loyal to Gumball and often helps him out of sticky situations. He is sometimes shown to not exhibit normal behaviour, such as calling his adoptive parents Mr. Dad and Mrs. Mom.

text: Anais Rosie Watterson (voiced by Kyla Rae Kowalewski), a pink rabbit, is Gumball and Darwin's precocious 4-year-old[9] sister. She is one grade above her brothers, as revealed in "The Others". Gumball resents the fact that she is always telling him what to do, but nonetheless loves her and acknowledges her good intentions. Although impatient with her brother, she often tags along with him on his misadventures as a voice of reason, usually having to help Gumball out of situations caused by these misadventures. She has, however, been shown to not be above manipulating her family to get what she wants. Despite her intellectualism, she still shows typical childlike behavior, including an obsession with the children's television character Daisy the Donkey, and has tried to fit in with Gumball and Darwin on numerous occasions. She attends eighth grade at Elmore Junior High, which Gumball and Darwin are unaware of due to them "filtering" out anyone or anything that isn't part of their lives.

text: Doctor Nicole Watterson (née Senicourt) (voiced by Teresa Gallagher) is a 43 year old blue cat and the mother of Gumball, Darwin, and Anais. A workaholic, she is often over-stressed and possesses a bad temper. She acts as a guide to her sons, Gumball and Darwin when they get in a tough spot with their misadventures. Competitive by nature, Nicole is a master martial artist, and is very agile and flexible. Despite her overstressed and bad-tempered personality, she is sweet and shows much affection for her family, keeping them safe (and alive) as much as she can. She is also very protective of her family, as seen in "The Ape." Since she is the only truly responsible member of the family, Nicole does most of, if not, all the household chores, and in addition, she works long hours at the Rainbow Factory just to put food on the table. Often, when she competes against the rest of the family, it is for the family, such as when she wanted to watch Win or Don't Win to win a new microwave in "The Remote."

text: Unfortunately, Nicole also suffers from a tremendous amount of emotional stress because of her many duties, and as such, is quite strict and demanding whenever upset. In fact, on one occasion, Gumball decides it would be easier to face Tina than an angry Nicole. Despite all that, Nicole is still a good mother and person, and she still loves her family very much, especially her son, Gumball. Much of her issues stem from her hard pushing parents who gave her the first name Doctor in the hopes that she will become one later on in life.

text: Nicole is also occasionally vindictive, as was shown in the episode "The Ape," after Miss Simian called her and her family "losers." On top of this, she is also very resourceful and inventive, a trait she most likely passed on to her daughter Anais, who has demonstrated similar talents -- in this case, strategically setting a mine-like trap in a paintball arena/forest, merely using environmental supplies, and whatever she took with her. Winning seems to be a necessity for her at times, most likely due to her mother's ambition for her to succeed in her youth. Though, despite her somewhat ruthless faults, she can accept defeat, acknowledge her mistakes, and even find humor in them.

text: Apparently, Nicole also does not like losing, as shown in "The Game," but still does not prefer to fight those who had a close relationship with her, such as Yuki, unless they threaten her family or her job.

text: Richard Buckley[citation needed] Watterson (voiced by Dan Russell) is a 43 year old anthropomorphic pink rabbit. He is the father of Gumball, Darwin and Anais. Being a stay-at-home dad, he spends most of his time sleeping, watching TV and playing video games.  As revealed in the episode "The Lady" Richard also dresses up as a woman (Samantha) and spends the day with his girlfriends (the golden girls) it is later revealed that all of them are men who couldn't seem to make friends with other men (except Marie, who actually is an old lady) and decide to continue their friendship as sassy old women. He has been "the laziest person in Elmore" for 13 years[10] and has a large appetite and is a voracious eater. Richard often serves as a third-wheel to his sons' misadventures and cares deeply for his family despite his lethargic nature. He can be very naive at some times and may be called "dumb" or similar words by other characters throughout the series. In the episode "The Job" it appears that Richard can't hold a job or else the universe will be destroyed which is why he must remain unemployed.

text: Richard is the father figure in the Watterson family but doesn't seem to possess any responsibility or common sense. He is very childlike and lazy and is not a good role model for his children either. However, Richard genuinely loves his family, and has good intentions, despite his severe lack of intelligence and maturity as seen especially in "The Prank" and "The Authority."

text: He also greatly enjoys eating, and as a result, he is overweight. His obsession with food can sometimes be his undoing, such as when he was supposed to help his wife in "The Spoon," but he ends up licking a sausage on the floor instead. He can also sense when there is toast nearby, as seen in "The Recipe." Due to his continuous hunger, he gained an instinctive-like nature, as seen in "The Game" and many other episodes, where he runs toward any food he sees.

text: Richard is very childish and has been seen exhibiting childish behaviors in several episodes, which include believing in ghosts, joining in some of Gumball's misadventures, believing in Santa Claus, and many others. He also has a very hypocritical sense of humor. He enjoys pulling pranks and laughing at people, but hates it when others prank or laugh at him, saying that "it's only funny when it happens to someone else."

text: The motive for Richard's personality was shown in "The Authority," where it was revealed that Granny Jojo sheltered Richard his entire life, leading him to grow up as an unintelligent and lazy person. In "The Man," it was revealed that Richard's father walked out on him when he was young, claiming he was going out to buy some milk. Richard still believed it out of denial, even into his adult life.

text: Despite his incompetency and childishness, Richard can occasionally spout out some good advice. In "The Gift," he was the one telling his sons to give Masami friendship (which they later did), and he manages to tell Nicole some very good, philosophical advice about life. It is also possible that Richard has a sufficiently sized brain, just he neglects to use it. As seen in "The Fuss" when he tried to think, a large cramping mass grew rapidly in size and made his veins stand out on his head.

text: According to Ben Bocquelet, his height is 6’2” (1.88 m).

text: Penny Fitzgerald[edit]

text: Penny Fitzgerald (voiced by Teresa Gallagher) is a living peanut with antlers growing out of her head and, following the events of the episode "The Shell", Gumball's girlfriend. Their mutual affection and incapability of expressing their feelings for one another was a running theme in the series[12] until "The Shell", where Gumball finally directly reveals his feelings for her and they have their first kiss in the woods.[6] In the same episode, it is revealed that underneath Penny's shell lies a yellow, fairy-like self which shape-shifts based on her emotional state.[6] Penny's father Patrick, the head of a local construction company, is extremely overprotective of his daughter,[13] and does not trust Gumball until he saves her from getting run over by his own car in the episode "The Knights" and "The Shell" for helping his daughter through her emotions.[14] She is a member of the Elmore Junior High cheerleading and synchronized swimming teams.[13]

text: Tobias Wilson[edit]

text: Tobias Wilson (voiced by Rupert Degas, season 1; Hugo Harrison, season 2 onward) is a multicolored, cloud-shaped humanoid who is heavily interested in sports and possesses an overbearing self-confidence.[12] He thinks of himself as a heavily built jock, despite actually being rather weak, and appears to be quite wealthy.[15] He makes his debut appearance in "The Third", where Gumball and Darwin pay him twenty dollars to become their friend.[15] In "The Knights", Tobias holds a mock medieval battle with Gumball for the affection of Penny.[14] Despite this, he has been seen hanging out with Gumball and Darwin on several occasions, including having a starring role in one of the duo's home movies.[16] He has an older sister, Rachel (voiced by Jessica McDonald), who considers herself of higher status than Tobias and his "dweeb loser baby friends".[17]

text: Carrie Krueger[edit]

text: Carolyn[citation needed] “Carrie” Krueger (voiced by Jessica McDonald) is an emo ghost who lives in a malevolent mansion[18] and "enjoys being depressed".[12] She has the abilities to teleport[19] and possess living bodies, and in "The Ghost" she uses the latter ability on Gumball in order to feel the satisfaction of being able to eat again.[20] In "Halloween", she turns the Watterson siblings into ghosts so they can attend a ghost-exclusive Halloween party at her mansion,[19] and in the process almost gets them trapped in the Underworld.[19] Carrie is the daughter of a mortal man who formed a romantic relationship with a female ghost and, as a result of using a forbidden spell, was cursed to live a lonely existence inside mirrors and subsequently rechristened "The Snatcher" – until, that is, his soul is set free by his daughter in "The Mirror" and they are happily reunited. In "The Matchmaker", she and Darwin become a couple.[21]

text: Banana Joe[edit]

text: Joseph[citation needed] ”Banana Joe” Banana (voiced by Mic Graves) is a hyperactive banana and the class clown of Gumball's Elmore Junior High class, with the tendency to crack a joke whenever possible.[12] His jokes often serve as a source of irritation to others, with Gumball describing him as a "one-trick pony" in his debut appearance.[15] While he is often classified as the class clown, he can mostly be a bully in a mean way, usually to Gumball and Darwin. He is killed by Rob in "the Rerun" but this event was erased from the timeline by a reformed Rob.

text: Tina Rex[edit]

text: Tina Rex (voiced by  Dan Russell, season 1; Stefan Ashton Frank, season 2 onward) is a Tyrannosaurus who lives in the Elmore city junkyard, and who is Elmore Junior High's most notorious bully.[22] She often picks on her fellow schoolmates, especially Gumball,[22] and has her own gang of bullies which includes Jamie[23] and, to his reluctance, Anton.[24] As a dinosaur, she is one of the strongest students in school, contributing to her fearsome and aggressive reputation.[22] Despite this, she also has a softer side not only in general, but also for Gumball; in the episode "The Fight" she reveals that she considers him to be a friend.[25] Her Cartoon Network biography suggests that she might have animosity toward others because she is "angry at the world for not noticing her femininity".[22]

text: Hector Jötunheim[edit]

text: Hector Jötunheim (voiced by Kerry Shale) is a massive but gentle giant who is the largest student in Elmore Junior High, to the point that only his legs and feet are seen on-screen. Hector is the subject of the episode "The Colossus", where his mother – a witch who works as a cleaning lady – reveals that he can be dangerous if he expresses too much emotion, such as anger, sadness or excitement.[26] In the same episode, he goes on a rampage around Elmore after Gumball and Darwin, unaware of Hector's need to control his emotions, describe him as being too boring.[26] His surname is a reference to Jötunheimr, the homeland of giants in Norse mythology.[27]

text: Masami Yoshida[edit]

text: Masami Yoshida (voiced by Jessica McDonald) is a living cloud who is the wealthy daughter of the Rainbow Factory's owner.[12] Spoiled by her parents, she is tantrum-prone and has apparently threatened to have her classmates' parents fired if she doesn't have her way; in "The Gift", several of her classmates panic about getting her a perfect birthday gift out of fear of such a scenario, though it is later indicated that this has never actually happened and she admits that she simply wants be a treated like a normal person.[28] When angry, she has the ability to develop into a full storm cloud capable of causing massive amounts of damage.[29] The episode "The Storm" reveals her unrequited crush on Alan, and she manipulates Gumball into getting the two together, albeit temporarily.[29]

text: Sarah Lato[edit]

text: Sarah G. Lato (voiced by Jessica McDonald) is a yellow ice cream cone who debuted in "The Banana" as a transferee to Elmore Junior High from nearby Richwood High and makes her first major role in "The Sweaters", where she attempts to defend Gumball and Darwin from two uptight human students, only to lead them into more trouble.[30] In "The Fan", she is depicted as an obsessive fan of Gumball and Darwin.[31]

text: Bobert[edit]

text: Bobert (voiced by Kerry Shale) is a robot who is one of the smartest students at Elmore Junior High but constantly struggles to understand emotion and develop a social life.[12] He is the primary focus of the episode "The Robot", where Darwin and Gumball's efforts to help him fit in ultimately end with him stealing Gumball's identity.[32] Multiple times in the series, he has showcased his ability to transform into a much larger form by triggering his "defense mode".[32] In the episode "The Bet", he is forced to become Gumball's personal slave for a day after losing a bet.[33] Bobert is also the primary focus of the episode "The Upgrade", where he has an update with his software that Gumball and Darwin struggle getting used to and go to the Bobert Store to get a downgrade.  The manager gave them a new Bobert and sent old Bobert on a plane with a bunch of random old junk.  Gumball and Darwin use new Bobert to fly up to the plane to get old Bobert back. They open the hatch in the back of the plane and everything falls out including Bobert.  While falling Gumball finds Bobert's original os disc and installs it.  At the last minute before impact Bobert boots ups up and saves them from smashing in to the ground.

text: Carmen[edit]

text:
Carmen (voiced by Teresa Gallagher, season 1; Alix Wilton Regan, season 2 onward) is a small green cactus who is considered to be a leader among her female classmates.[12] She is in a relationship with her balloon classmate Alan,[12] though the danger of her spikes bursting him is a constant hindrance. Their relationship in the cafeteria annoys their classmates, who are frequently annoyed by their romantic gestures and deem them "too perfect" and Alan interrupts and yells at Gumball.[29] In "The Storm",Carmen and Alan are baby talking in the lunch room when everyone comments they are "too perfect". Later Gumball and Darwin see Carmen crying and she says it's because her and Alan's relationship is too boring so she gets Gumball to flirt with her then kiss her. Alan gets jealous but won't say or do anything. Alan ends up saying he loves her so. Much that he wants her to be happy even if it isn't with him.  Gumball tells him he needs to get back into dating to show Carmen he's moved on.  Alan reluctantly agrees and ends up dating Masami. Masami had given Gumball the plan that Carmen would get jealous and try to get him back but really only wanted to date Alan. Gumball tries to tell Masami her plan didn't work when she informed him it worked perfectly cause now her and Alan were dating.
Gumball  is gonna go tell everyone of her plan but Masami turns into a huge storm and rampages through the school taking Alan with her. Everyone chases them and then Alan bravely confronts Masami and states his feelings for Carmen. [29] In "The Best," it is shown that Carmen was once a trouble making student at her old school, so much so that she ended up on the news.[34] Carmen is also one of the cheerleaders for her school. She is best friends with Penny Fitzgerald, Sarah, and Molly.

text: Alan Keane[edit]

text: Alan Keane (voiced by Kerry Shale, season 1; Hugo Harrison, season 2 onward) is a teal-colored balloon who, despite their physical incompatibility, is in a romantic relationship with Carmen and sits at lunch with her.[12] He is overly nice and even-tempered, never showing anger or raising his voice even when the subject of insults or physical attacks, much to the annoyance of his classmates.[35] Being filled with helium, Alan regularly speaks in a high-pitched voice. In "The Photo", Gumball envies him for having a beautiful face. Alan rebuffs this, but Gumball replies: "Dude, even your mole looks better than me". In "the Vision" it is revealed Alan secretly plans to take over the world and rule it as a dictator, brainwashing people to eradicate sadness. After discovering this, Gumball and Darwin attempt to assassinate Alan, which they succeed in after many failed attempts - though he reappears in subsequent episodes without any explanation. It was shown in an episode the world goes through chaos if Alan stops his kindness.

text: Leslie[edit]

text: Leslie (voiced by Kerry Shale) is an effeminate, friendly daisy who plays flute in the school band and can often be found hanging around the girls.[36] He is Penny's cousin, and Gumball's mistaken assumption that he is her boyfriend is his major source of jealousy in the episode "The Flower".[37]

text: Teri[edit]

text: Teri (voiced by Teresa Gallagher) is a hypochondriac paper bear usually found in the nurse's office.[38] Although somewhat self-absorbed and paranoid, she is very nice and is one of the school's cheerleaders.[38] Her mother works as a doctor and maintains a website discussing the dangers of germs.[39]

text: Idaho[edit]

text: Idaho (voiced by Kerry Shale, season 1; Hugo Harrison, season 2 onward) is a free-spirited potato from the rural countryside with old-fashioned beliefs, and is one of the less popular students of Elmore Junior High.[40] In "The Bumpkin", Gumball, disillusioned with his suburban lifestyle, seeks Idaho's help in teaching his family how to live a simple lifestyle.[41] However, Gumball eventually finds himself unable to resist his modern lifestyle, and one night Idaho walks in on him indulging in video games and junk food.[41] Gumball talks him into trying out his modern lifestyle and eventually sends him into severe culture shock, which his rural family cure by burying him in soil.[41]

text: Anton[edit]

text: Anton (voiced by Lewis MacLeod in “The Dress” Anthony Hull in every other appearance) is a simple-minded piece of toast who was forcibly drafted into Tina's gang despite his unwillingness to do so, and only appeases them to avoid their anger.[24] He is prone to being killed in various freak accidents, only to be resurrected by his parents after each occasion with a  toaster which creates a new copy of him.[42]

text: Juke[edit]

text: Juke (voiced by Hugo Harrison, music by Beatbox Hobbit)[43] is a native of the continent of Boomboxemburg who moved to Elmore, and is, as described by Gumball, a "boombox head" who speaks entirely in beatboxing.[44] In "The Boombox", he spoke it. As a result, nobody in Elmore Junior High can understand him.[45] He is able to speak comprehensible English if he is switched from "Music Mode" to "Voice Mode" through a button on the back of his head, but his arms are too short to reach the button and his attempts to communicate this fact to others end in failure.[44]

text: Sussie[edit]

text: Sussie (Pronounced s-uh-ss-ee, face by Aurelie Charbonnier, voiced by Fergus Craig Season 3 until end of Season 4 , voiced by Charbonnier Season 5 onwards and Season 1, Ben Bocquelet voiced her screaming, yelling, and laughing Season 2 onward) is an upside-down chin with googly eyes and puppet-like characteristics. She is talkative, odd, and obnoxious, and as a result is generally avoided by the rest of her classmates. She was the main problem for Darwin in "The Words".[8]

text: Clayton[edit]

text: Clayton (voiced by Rupert Degas, in “The Party” Kwesi Boakye in “The Dress”; Max Cazier, season 2 onward) is a red ball of clay who is a compulsive liar, with a tendency of making up absurd stories about himself.[46] In the episode "The Skull", Clayton begins an on-and-off friendship with Gumball and Darwin, and displays his ability to transform into different people and objects.[47] At the end of the episode, he tells Principal Brown the truth for the first time.[47] In "The Move" he reveals that he lies because he is insecure and feels like a loser, though Gumball and Darwin help him and presumably cure his lying habit.[48]

text: Rachel Wilson[edit]

text: Rachel Wilson (voiced by Jessica McDonald) is Tobias' older sister, who disgusts his "dweeb loser baby friends." In "The Party", however, after her friends don't show up to the party Tobias invited all of Elmore Junior High to, Darwin helps her feel better and fixes the trashed house, so she kisses Darwin. The directing staff did not like the character, so Rachel made a handful of cameos in the second season before being dropped from the show.[citation needed] Rachel does make a brief cameo in a flashback in "The Matchmaker".

text: Ocho[edit]

text: Harry[citation needed] "Ocho" Tootmorsel[citation needed] (voiced by Max Cazier) is a Space Invaders character-like 8-bit spider[49] and a generally friendly person, but often overreacts to what people say about him in a negative manner, such as to Darwin and Gumball after the latter accidentally sends him an insulting text message.[50] In the show's first season, he spoke solely in video game blips; since the second season, however, he has started speaking in comprehensible, albeit distorted, English.[50] In season five, his real name is revealed to be Harry Tootmorsel, a name that he only tells to his most trusted friends.[51]

text: The Eggheads[edit]

text: Colin and Felix (voiced by Kerry Shale and Rupert Degas, season 1; Kerry Shale and Hugo Harrison, season 2 onward) are a pair of egg brothers who are two of the most intelligent students and bullies at Elmore Junior High, speaking in English accents and considering themselves to be much smarter than their classmates. They are not very popular, and as such are members of the "Reject Club" with Bobert and Ocho.[52]

text: Jamie Russo[edit]

text: Jamie Russo (voiced by Jessica McDonald, seasons 1–2; Maria Teresa Creasey, season 3 onward) is a "half-cow, half-troglodyte" creature who is a bully of Elmore Junior High and member of Tina's gang.[8][23] As a result of Miss Simian holding her back a year, she has grown resentful of her new classmates and of authority in general.[23] Her mother is Elmore Junior High's gym coach, whom she listens to and respects despite her disapproval towards Jamie's bullying.[53]

text: William[edit]

text: William (internal monologue narrated by Mic Graves)[54] is a flying eyeball who is Miss Simian's personal spy and only talks when reporting information to her.[55] The episode "The Voice" reveals that he has psychic abilities, which he uses to wreak havoc on Gumball and Darwin after they accidentally block him on the social networking site Elmore Plus.[56] The same episode shows that he actually expresses a desire to interact with his classmates, which is hindered by his lack of a mouth; his inner thoughts are narrated to the viewers.[56]

text: Molly Collins[edit]

text: Molly Collins[57][unreliable source?] (voiced by Jessica McDonald) is a shy sauropod who is a member of the cheerleading team and, as shown in "The Pressure", the owner of a treehouse where she and the other girls hang out in.[58] She made several appearances in the show's first season, but was absent for the entire second season; no reason was given for her disappearance until the third-season episode "The Void", where Gumball, Darwin, and Mr. Small realize that all traces of Molly have vanished and nobody else seems to have any memory of her. Investigating further, they eventually open up a portal at the former location of Molly's home and are sucked into a void containing "all the mistakes the world has ever made", where they find and rescue her.[59]

text: Rob[edit]

text: Rob (voiced by Hugo Harrison and David Warner) was one of the less prominent Elmore Junior High students, and later on in the series, Rob is the main antagonist and Gumball's sworn enemy. Rob is formerly a tall blue cyclops, and is later a disfigured polygon white cyclops.  He tries to have some friendly conversation with Gumball and Darwin in "The Pony", only to discover – much to his annoyance – that the two do not even know his name.[18] He is later seen in the void of all the world's mistakes in the episode "The Void".[59] However, in "The Nobody", he manages to escape the void, gets disfigured as a result and takes residence in the Wattersons' basement. As a result, he remembers that Gumball and Darwin left him and swears revenge on them for not noticing him.[60] In "The Bus", he attempts to blow up everybody and the hijacked bus up as well, but his plans were foiled thanks to Gumball and Richard. In "The Ex", it is seen that Banana Joe was his new nemesis. But toward the end he resumes his hatred with Gumball.

text: Hot Dog Guy[edit]

text: Hot Dog Guy (voiced by Alex Jordan) is a guy who, when in contact, is awkward with Gumball. He made periodic appearances prior to the episode "The Hug", when Gumball hugs him several times to prove he is not predictable to Darwin. In "The Awkwardness," Gumball wants to buy ketchup for a hot dog before running into the Hot Dog Guy many other times in the episode. In "The Nest" he is seemingly eaten by the carnivorous baby turtles, but came back. His butt exploded in “The Castle”.

text: Clare Cooper[edit]

text: An emo girl who is a human. She hates Gumball and Darwin, but is friends with Penny and Anais.

text: Julius Oppenheimer Jr.[edit]

text: A bomb-headed humanoid with anger issues whose head explodes when he feels disgust (usually from seeing Sussie’s ugly face) or anger (due to him hating Ocho). He hates Ocho.

text: Elmore Junior High staff[edit]

text: Principal Brown[edit]

text: Principal Nigel Brown (voiced by Steve Furst) is a furry slug who is Elmore Junior High's principal and Miss Lucy Simian's love interest. He likes to lick Lucy’s hair, and likes to sing while being held by Lucy. He teaches music, judges cheerleader tryouts, leads the school’s band, and is a substitute sports teacher. He used to, along with Steve and Lucy, teach gym until Russo got her job. His Cartoon Network biography states that their romance has been detrimental to his profession, leaving him incapable of properly running Elmore Junior High.[61] In "The Fraud", it is revealed that Principal Brown has worked as a principal for 20 years with a fake diploma.[62]

text: Ms. Simian[edit]

text: Ms. Lucy Simian (voiced by Lewis MacLeod, season 1; Hugo Harrison, season 2 onward) is a 2,000,000 year old baboon and the sadistic teacher of Gumball and Darwin's class as well as a major antagonist. She takes great pleasure in giving her students pop quizzes and being generally unpleasant, and as such is widely reviled by the entire school body, save for Principal Brown, her love interest. She has a generally antagonistic relationship with Gumball, often suspecting him of being nothing but a troublemaker, but once faked friendship with the Wattersons in order to win a teacher's appreciation award, and offered a genuine apology to Gumball and Darwin for her rash judgement against them in "The Apology". Her face intentionally resembles that of the Grim Reaper.

text: Mr. Small[edit]

text: Mr. Steve Small (voiced by Adam Long) is the Elmore Junior High guidance counselor, a cloud man who is interested in New Age culture and possesses hippie-like qualities in terms of appearance and behavior. Mr. Small's eccentric and unconventional teaching methods are usually more confusing to the children than helpful, and despite his good intentions they often leave his office confused and not any better, if not worse from the time they entered.[63] It is revealed in the episode "The Fraud" that he is not a U.S. citizen, though it is unclear if he was merely born elsewhere or renounced his citizenship. He also mentions he lost his love Janice, which in the episode "The Void," is revealed to be a purple van that runs on "good vibes." His mannerisms are similar to those of Mr. Van Driessen from Beavis and Butt-head.

text: Rocky Robinson[edit]

text: Rockwell “Rocky” Robinson (voiced by Lewis McLeod in season 1, Hugo Harold-Harrison in season 2, and Simon Lipkin in season 3, 4, 5, and 6) is an orange, fuzzy 27 year old Muppet-like character who performs various odd jobs around Elmore Junior High, mostly as the janitor, but also as a cafeteria worker, a school bus driver, and, in "The Curse", the clerk at the lost and found office. He is the son of Mr. Robinson and Margaret Robinson, the Wattersons' next-door neighbors, and is generally good-natured and gets along with the children well.

text: Coach Russo[edit]

text: The Elmore Junior High gym teacher Coach Russo (voiced by Dan Russell) is a large, pink 3-dimensional cube who is Jamie's mother. The newest member of the faculty, she works to ensure that all of the students are fit like her daughter. She makes her debut appearance in "The Coach" and speaks in a consistently deadpan tone, never showing emotion facially or in her speech.

text: Mr. Corneille[edit]

text: Mr. Moonchild Corneille (voiced by Simon Lipkin) is a frog and the 8th grade teacher of geography at Elmore Junior High. He always pretends to be sophisticated, but is a fake personality. As of “The Cage”, he is in a relationship with Joan Markham, the school’s nurse. He also has his picture on all of his history books.

text: Joan Markham[edit]

text: Joan Markham (voiced by Teresa Gallagher) is Elmore Junior High’s nurse. She is in a relationship with Moonchild, starting in “The Cage”. She hates her job because Gumball and Darwin try lame excuses to get sick notes and get out of gym class, Teri comes to her office every day, Lucy is a jerk to her, and she doesn’t know how to help the students because most of them have biologies she has no clue how to work with. She is always sarcastic because of this, and sometimes tries to do the least work possible to help her students. She is also a paramedic, doctor, and nurse at a hospital, even though she hates her jobs. She has long blonde hair under her hat.

text: Other Watterson family members[edit]

text: Frankie Watterson[edit]

text: Frankie Watterson (voiced by Rich Fulcher) is a conman rat and the ex-husband of Granny Jojo and the father of Richard who abandoned them a long time ago. In "The Signature", after his apartment was re-possessed due to his overdue rent, he returns to the Watterson household, and he reunited with Richard, only to scam him of taking over the house. The Wattersons stop him, while Frankie looks back to the day he left his son. He then decides to reunite the whole Watterson family. In "The Outside" , Frankie comes for a visit, but gets treated like a prisoner, because of a misunderstanding.

text: Joanna Watterson[edit]

text: Granny Jojo (voiced by Sandra Dickinson) is the Watterson children's grandmother and also Richard's mother. She is a 63 year old pink rabbit who speaks in a New York accent. In the season 1 episode "The Kiss", she is depicted as a general annoyance to the family, doing nothing but watching police dramas on television, and with Nicole and Richard always leaving the house whenever she makes a visit. She was previously married to a traveling conman named Frankie Watterson, who abandoned her and a young Richard under the pretense of going out to buy milk; she later remarries to Louie, a local Elmore senior citizen, in "The Signature", despite Richard's initial disapproval.[64]

text: Louie Watterson[edit]

text: Louie Watterson (voiced by Shane Rimmer) is a 72 year old black mouse and a former member of a close-knit crew of Elmore senior citizens which includes Betty, Donald, and Marvin Finkleheimer.[65] In "The Man" it is revealed that he was dating Joanna Watterson,[66] whom he marries in "The Signature", making him Richard's stepfather and Gumball, Darwin, and Anais' stepgrandfather.[64]

text: Other characters[edit]

text: Mr. and Mrs. Robinson[edit]

text: Gaylord[citation needed] and Margaret[citation needed] Robinson (Gaylord voiced by Stefan Ashton Frank and Margaret voiced by Teresa Gallagher ) are the Wattersons' stuck-up, grouchy next door neighbors, and Rocky's parents. They are grey Muppet-like characters and hate their neighbors with a passion. Gaylord deeply despises Gumball and Darwin in Season 1 and “The Sale” for annoying him all the time; the boys, however, look up to him as their idol. Their constant bickering is a focal point of their relationship, and they actually enjoy doing so. Gaylord owns a prized 1970 Cadillac Coupe de Ville Convertible which often ends up getting damaged by the Wattersons as a running gag, much to his annoyance.

text: Gary Hedges[edit]

text: Gary Hedges (voiced by  Dan Russel) The other side neighbor of Gumball. He is a purple moose with large antlers. Even is commonly seen wearing a pale brown hat, green sweater with blue slacks. Also known as "this guy" by Gumball. The neighbor they forget the name, often.

text: Larry Needlemeyer[edit]

text: Larry Needlemeyer (voiced by Kerry Shale) is a rock man who works at almost every establishment in Elmore, including the grocery store, the gas station convenience store, several fast food restaurants, and the DVD rental shop amongst other places. He had previously been known as "Lazy Larry", the laziest person in Elmore, until he lost his title to Richard 13 years prior to the start of the series and subsequently morphed into a hard worker.[10] Larry was generally distrusting of the Wattersons, as they often get him into trouble at his various occupations until "The Pizza". It was revealed that he works everywhere just to pay the damages the Wattersons created that involves him. He has a girlfriend named Karen, who the Wattersons damage his relationship with as a running gag, but they may not be together anymore, as in “The Boredom” Karen says she has a daughter who may be with a different guy, and in “The Love”, Melted Cheese Guy almost asks her out. The son may have been with Larry or before she met Larry, and Melted Cheese Guy could simply not have known she was dating Larry.

text: Marvin Finkleheimer[edit]

text: Marvin Finkleheimer (voiced by Dan Russell) is a red jellybean who lives at a house and likes to beat kids with his cane on the skull if they help him across the street. In the episode "The Watch", he feuds with Gumball and Darwin over possession of a gold watch, an heirloom which the Wattersons and Finkleheimers have feuded over for several generations. Towards the end of the episode, the two sides chase each other to claim the watch and cash it in for its $700 value. Marvin is eaten by the Evil Turtles in "the Nest", but he somehow  escaped her stomach and, as Kip said, made a full recovery. In Season 1, he was originally going to be named Bert, when he is called that by the yellow old man, Donald, and Louie but that was changed/retconned by the writers.

text: Doughnut Sheriff[edit]

text: Doughnut Sheriff (voiced by Dan Russell) is a pink-frosted doughnut who, as his name suggests, is an officer in Elmore's police force. He is rather oblivious and has displayed incompetency on the job, often finding himself involved in the Watterson's antics.  He was a main character in the episode “The Law” where he tried to run over men, women, children, senior citizens, and babies and Gumball and Darwin cheered him on.

text: Sal Left Thumb[edit]

text: Sal Left Thumb (voiced by Kerry Shale) is one of Elmore's most wanted criminals, a walking fingerprint whose weapon of choice is a rusty spoon. He is often seen robbing the local convenience store, and in "The Spoon" Gumball and Darwin become unwitting accomplices in one of his crimes. He was killed in "The Bumpkin", but came back.

text: Felicity and Billy Parham[edit]

text: Felicity Parham is an orange background character on the show along with her blue son William Geoffrey "Billy" Fitzgerald Kitchener Parham, III (as shown in "The Extras). Billy appears to be an intelligent boy who usually just asks his mother random questions about life. After Season 3, he gained more of an active role and was rejected from Anais Watterson's heart. So, he then became a big mouthed, smart aleck-like individual. Billy's dad is also mentioned.

text: Mr. Rex[edit]

text: Mr. Rex is Tina Rex's father. He loves to eat invaders at home. He fought with Nicole when she tried to speak with him about the fight that Tina had with Gumball. His true appearance was originally written to be shown in the episode "The Rex" where it might have been shown how he came back to life, but this episode was ultimately cancelled and not produced, but later his true appearance is revealed in "The Routine", where he fought Richard while getting mayonnaise. He gained a scar after “The Fight” possibly due to Nicole’s fight with him.[67]

text: Kenneth[edit]

text:
A grayish-brown monstrous blob creature created by Gumball mixing disgusting things into a jar and Richard accidentally microwaving it. He made his debut in
“The Microwave” and reappears in “The Finale” and in Gumball’s subconscious in “The Name”.

document_title: David Alexander (singer)

question_text: who sang if i could see the rhondda one more time

text: David Alexander (singer)

text: Early years[edit]

text: Born in Blackwood, Monmouthshire, Alexander left Bedwellty Grammar School at the age of sixteen to support his family. He joined his father and eldest brother in the mines at Oakdale Colliery. In the years after this, he qualified as a machine engineer.

text: It was at the factory in Cwmbran where he worked that he joined the Trenewydd Singers and enjoyed for the first time the applause of the many people that they entertained for various charities.

text: Career[edit]

text: Alexander soon began putting together an act for himself. He made his debut at a local social club and left the brake factory where he worked and toured much of the United Kingdom, also working as an entertainer at Pontins.

text: David Alexander was the name given to Derek (Ricky) Ebdon by his manager Byron Godfrey, legal name Raymond William Godfrey an old teenage friend, after learning of the successful conclusion of Godfrey and his partner, Raymond John Glastonbury's London High Court action against Tom Jones, who they had discovered and managed. Both Godfrey and Glastonbury were also from Blackwood, together known as Myron & Byron in the music business. Godfrey, along with Tony King (musical arranger) and Johnny Caesar {songwriter/comedian) produced Alexander's first single for EMI (Columbia)"If I could see the Rhondda one more time" in 1971, through the publishing arm of their company, Million Dollar Music Co. Ltd.. It sold thousands of copies and stayed on catalogue for years (being reissued in 1975). To this day in 2015, Godfrey and Caesar still receive publishing and writing royalties for this record which elevated Alexander's career. After a less successful single for Columbia the same year ("Dream On Dreamer"), he was released without recording an album. His next single "Taste the Wine" was released on Larry Page's Penny Farthing label in 1974 which was also released across Europe.

text: He released his first album So Many Ways on his own label in 1975. Initial pressings were on the North West Gramophone label but later pressings and a string of other albums, singles and EPs throughout the late 70's, 80's and early 90's were released on his ACE Recordings label.

text: In 1980, Alexander again recorded for EMI with a single "Come Home Rhondda Boy" on Columbia and a self-titled album on their budget One-Up label. An updated version of that album was released on ACE (with eleven of the twelve original tracks and three new tracks) as Now and Then.

text: Alexander represented Britain at Bratislava Czechoslovakia song Festival, with Malta and Germany, amongst other countries. In 1989, he also toured Australia.

text: During this time, David found time to support many worthy charities that asked for his help. He ran two marathons and a half marathon in one year to raise several thousand pounds required by a Walton school (Liverpool) for their Sunshine Coach appeal. He continued to raise money for charities such as Cystic Fybrosis research, Alder Hey Children's Hospital and during one show, he managed to raise £1,000 to send one of the children to Disney World.

text: Later years[edit]

text: In 1991, Alexander settled in Tenerife with Penny Page, whom he had met in 1976 and married in 1981. Alexander enjoyed golf and often sang in bars and clubs in and around Tenerife.

text: Health problems and death[edit]

text: In November 1991, there were fears that Alexander's singing career was over when he was diagnosed with polyps (growths) in his throat. After surgery and a month of intensive therapy, he recovered.

text: In November 1994, Alexander was rushed into hospital and diagnosed with cardiomegaly (an enlarged heart). He was advised by doctors to limit his workload. On the morning of 4 February 1995, he suffered a heart attack and died, he was 66 years of age. He had made his will a few days earlier on the 23 January 1995.

document_title: The Good Dinosaur

question_text: who plays arlo's dad in the good dinosaur

question_tokens: who plays arlo 's dad in the good dinosaur

text: The Good Dinosaur

text: Plot[edit]

text: In an alternate history, the asteroid that would have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago passes safely over Earth.

text: Sixty-five million years later, Apatosaurus farmers Henry and Ida have children Libby, Buck, and the runt Arlo, who has trouble adjusting to farm life. While his successful siblings are allowed to "make their mark" (a mud-print on the family's corn silo), Arlo's timid nature makes tasks difficult for him. Henry attempts to give Arlo a sense of purpose by putting him in charge of guarding their silo, and helps him set a trap. It captures a feral caveboy, but Arlo doesn't have the heart to kill him, and sets him free. Disappointed, Henry takes Arlo to track the caveboy, leading them into a ravine. Henry saves Arlo from a flash flood before being swept away and killed.

text: Without his father, Arlo shoulders more of the workload. He spots the same caveboy inside the silo and, blaming him for his father's death, chases him until both fall into a river. Arlo cannot swim, and is swept downstream where he hits his head on a rock and is knocked unconscious. Awakening, he finds himself far from home and tries to survive on his own, but becomes trapped when a boulder pins his leg. The next day Arlo wakes to find his leg has been freed, and the caveboy appears with food for him. The caveboy then leads Arlo to a berry tree, where the caveboy fends off a large snake, amazing Arlo and impressing a nearby eccentric Styracosaurus who wants to keep the boy. He forces Arlo to compete with him to give the boy a name he will respond to, which Arlo finally wins when he calls him "Spot". Arlo and Spot bond as Arlo laments his lost family, and Spot reveals that his own parents are dead. Later, when a storm strikes, Arlo runs away in fear and loses the riverbank he has been following home.

text: The next morning, Arlo wakes to find Spot at his side. They are noticed by a band of pterodactyls, led by Thunderclap, who appear to be conducting a rescue operation but turn out to be savagely carnivorous. When the pterodactyls try to take Spot, Arlo and Spot flee, happening upon a pair of Tyrannosaurus named Nash and Ramsey, who ward off the pterodactyls. Nash, Ramsey, and their father Butch have lost their herd of longhorns, so Arlo offers Spot's help in sniffing them out. They locate the herd, but Butch recognizes the work of cattle rustlers, and uses Arlo as a lure. Arlo and Spot attract the attention of rustler Velociraptor, allowing Butch and his family to attack. During the fight, Arlo musters his courage and fends off two raptors who have overwhelmed Butch, helping to turn the fight in their favor. Having gained their respect, Arlo joins the Tyrannosaurus in driving the cattle south when he sees the familiar mountain peaks of his homeland in the distance, and leaves with Spot to return home. Along the way, they encounter an adult feral caveman in the distance, and though Spot shows interest, Arlo dissuades him and they continue on.

text: As another storm approaches, Thunderclap and the pterodactyls return and attack and carry Spot away. Arlo becomes entangled in vines, where he has a vision of Henry leading him home. Arlo instead resolves to save Spot, making the vision of his father proud before it fades away. Arlo finds and attacks the pterodactyls, who have cornered Spot at the river. Arlo and Spot together plunge Thunderclap and the pterodactyls into the water, where they are swept helplessly downstream. When another flash flood occurs, Arlo leaps into the water to rescue Spot as the two are swept away toward a waterfall. Arlo protects Spot as the two plummet down the fall, and carries him to shore.

text: As they approach Arlo's home, the two again hear the unknown caveman call, and are approached by an entire cave family. With great reluctance, Arlo pushes Spot to join his adoptive family, and the two of them share a tearful goodbye.

text: Arlo finally arrives home to his mother and siblings, and makes his mark on the silo between those of his mother and father.

text: Production[edit]

text: Development[edit]

text: Bob Peterson and Peter Sohn started working on the film in 2009, when Peterson came up with the idea.[13] The film's first release date of November 27, 2013 was first announced in June 2011.[14] The plot, director and co-director, producer, and other small details were announced at the D23 Expo on August 20, 2011.[15] Peterson and John Walker announced the film as The Untitled Pixar Movie About Dinosaurs.[15] On April 24, 2012, Pixar announced that it would be titled The Good Dinosaur.[16]

text: The filmmakers wanted to explore what dinosaurs represent today, and how they are represented in stereotypes. Peterson stated: "It's time to do a movie where you get to know the dinosaur, what it's really like to be a dinosaur and to be with a dinosaur."[17] Peterson said the inspiration for the project came from a childhood visit to the 1964 New York World's Fair where he was impressed by some dinosaur Audio-Animatronics.[17]

text: On the film's title, Sohn stated, "The title is deceptively simple. It has more meaning than it seems."[17] He additionally explained: "Arlo has a lot of issues when he's born. He's fearful and he's weak and he's disconnected from the family because of these issues and he feels like he's not worthy, and so he finds a way to become worthy."[18]

text: In April 2012, Pixar announced that the film's release date had been shifted from November 27, 2013 to May 30, 2014.[16][19] On August 9, 2013, it was announced at the D23 Expo that Lucas Neff, John Lithgow, Frances McDormand, Neil Patrick Harris, Judy Greer, and Bill Hader had joined the cast of the film.[20]

text: Revisions[edit]

text: By summer 2013, Peterson and Walker had been removed from the film due to story problems.[1] Peterson, who could not crack the film's third act,[21] was absent from the D23 Expo, where Sohn and producer Denise Ream presented footage from the film.[22][23] Ed Catmull, Pixar's president, explained the departure: "All directors get really deep in their film. Sometimes you just need a different perspective to get the idea out. Sometimes directors… are so deeply embedded in their ideas it actually takes someone else to finish it up."[1] Peterson moved on to another project he is developing at Pixar, while Ream replaced Walker, who left to work on Disney's Tomorrowland. On the subject of changing directors, Ream stated, "Sadly, it happens more often than any of us would like… It's given a lot of thought and care. Bob still works at Pixar [and] he's a beloved member of the studio. He helps out on a lot of the movies. We care about him, but he just needed help getting the movie done."[24] John Lasseter, Lee Unkrich, Mark Andrews, and Sohn stepped in temporarily to work on various sections of the film.[1] In September 2013, The Good Dinosaur was pushed back from May 30, 2014 to November 25, 2015 (the scheduled release date for Pixar's Finding Dory). According to Ream, the primary reason for the rescheduling was "the story was not working, period, full stop, it just was not where it needed to be."[25] In November 2013, due to the delay, Pixar laid off 67 employees of its 1,200-person workforce,[21] following the closure of Pixar Canada a month before, when about 80 employees had been laid off, officially to refocus Pixar's efforts at its main headquarters.[26]

text: In the footage shown at the 2013 D23 Expo, Arlo was a huge dinosaur, Sohn recalled: "In the original version of the film, Spot was so tiny, we really wanted to make him feel like a bug. But people had a tough time connecting that these two had a relationship, because Arlo was so large. It was fun, but at the same time we never believed the growth that they could have together. It was really like, 'I’m best friends with a bee!' Bob Peterson, the original director, his first pitch was just a boy and his dog, and so when I took it I said, 'I want to honor that as much as I can.'"[27]

text: In August 2014, Lithgow revealed in an interview that the film had been dismantled and "completely reimagined" and that he was expected to re-record his role in the next month, while mentioning that McDormand was still part of the film.[28] In November 2014, it was reported that new elements had been added to the story, such as treating nature as the film's antagonist.[29] Pixar's general manager and president Jim Morris stated, "We all liked the movie from the beginning, but… the story had some kind of fatal flaws in it that none of us really saw. It was kind of a Billy Elliot story. It was a very different kind of movie—there was a whole dinosaur culture and community and so forth. It was one where the Arlo character was kind of repressed by the community. It never quite felt right. It always felt like that we were vilifying this group [of dinosaur characters] that was otherwise a very likeable group. It just didn't feel like it resonated truly."[30] Morris additionally explained: "We give people the chance to work on a story, and we give them our support, but it doesn't always work out… there were story issues that were just not solvable. So we changed the story to make it better, and we're very proud of the film we have now."[31] In October 2014, Sohn was announced as the new director of the film.[32]

text: In June 2015, it was announced that the majority of the cast had been revised.[9] Of the original cast, only McDormand retained her role in the film. It was revealed that Neff had been replaced by Raymond Ochoa, and Lithgow had been replaced by Jeffrey Wright.[9] Arlo's three siblings, to be voiced by Harris, Hader, and Greer had been cut down to a single brother named Buck, voiced by Marcus Scribner,[9] and later, a sister named Libby, voiced by Maleah Padilla. On the cast revisions, Sohn explained: "It was all about finding a younger Arlo, it was really about finding a boy [to play Arlo], so that we could push into that idea of him growing up and becoming a man, so the actor previous—who is a great actor—he was already a man, and so I needed to push that arc and find that compassionate kid, so that was the major kind of change. Then everything else, all the other characters that supported that story came in and out and changed and evolved and through that evolution, some of those performers changed out of it."[18] It was also confirmed that the farmer aspect was still part of the film.[33]

text: Design and setting[edit]

text: The filmmakers wanted nature to be the antagonist for the main character Arlo. Ream noted "Nature can overcome anything, including a massive dinosaur." In order to achieve the needed realism, the film's team traveled to the American Northwest, spending time in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Juntura, Oregon, and southern Montana. Production designer Harley Jessup stated: "The area has a fantastic variety of landscapes, ranging from the Jackson Valley and the Tetons to the amazing geysers and waterfalls in Yellowstone, we studied the grasslands of Montana and the Red Desert, then incorporated all of it in Arlo’s journey." To use the landscapes that they had experienced, the filmmakers used data from the U.S. Geological Survey, and satellite images from Google Earth. The geographical data provided a foundation that the team then built on. According to supervising technical director Sanjay Bakshi, this gave Sohn "the freedom to shoot in any direction he wanted to make the world feel big and real." In addition, The Good Dinosaur features three-dimensional, volumetric clouds. In previous Pixar films, clouds have been "painted" onto the sets. Light and photography director Sharon Calahan explained: "Storm clouds are almost like a villain in the film. Plus, it’s very labor-intensive to paint clouds, and they’re in almost every scene." Calahan also noted "These particular clouds can be rendered and we can light them, which we’ve never been able to properly do before."[34][35]

text: According to the filmmakers, the environments and landscapes in the film are not photo-realistic, they are just detailed in a way that advanced technology and style decisions allow. In terms of animating Arlo, animators Rob Thompson and Kevin O’Hara went to a zoo and shot video of elephants in motion. Thompson stated: "One of the most intimidating things to animate is a quadruped, because there’s so much to them and there’s so much to manage. It’s very easy to make it not work if you don’t know what you’re managing. Locomotion is all about efficiency, a lot of times you think, 'We’re animating a big, heavy character. We should slam those feet. That’ll make it feel heavy.' The truth is, that’s not efficient. That wouldn’t be great for the legs."[34][35][36] A system where Arlo's head goes up and his chest goes down when his hips goes up, was therefore created. To get an idea of the scale of Arlo, a complete full-size model was built out of card and foam core. In total The Good Dinosaur took up 300TB of server space, ten times as much space as Monsters University (2013).[37]

text: Arlo was designed so that the audience could identify with him and be able to see the "boy" inside the dinosaur. Sohn explained "When Arlo gets lost in the wilderness, you need to worry that he's out of his element and in danger of getting killed, rather than just thinking 'You're an animal. Why don’t you just turn around and eat some leaves?'" He additionally stated "If you put like a realistic dinosaur in the woods, eat some leaves, you’re fine… But we really wanted to play with that twist of this is a boy out there. A dinosaur boy for sure, but trying to infuse those qualities into him… And also keeping him in a world that had an arc to itself. That it would start off being beautiful and then become dangerous. When we had these designs of the trees where they were a little bit more blocky and a little bit more graphic. We put Arlo in front of it, it’s like 'ooh that kind of is cool, but boy, it doesn’t feel like it's that dangerous.' Like when we get a rock stuck on him, it didn’t feel like anything ’cause when we went on our research trips, boy that idea of like you can get, you could die by a small thing like having a rock on your foot. Or you could die by a huge thing like an avalanche, which we tried to kind of explore in the film. So that was one of our main intents."[24][38]

text: In terms of the film's setting, Sohn stated "Pixar is all about the 'what if' question… 'What if the asteroid missed the earth?' Yeah, we went down the road of: they could be cooking in a dino diner; they could be in space; they could be in anything. But then there was a drawing of a dinosaur farming that kind of sparked people of the idea of 'he’s working hard and this character needs to survive out there.' All of the American dinosaur bones are found in the northwest—from Montana, to Oregon, to Wyoming, and the Dakotas, so the combination of hardworking farm families and the west really brought us into that frontier world immediately… [S]o we started doing research. We started finding all of these people who were surviving out there on the land. They were either cultivating the cattle, or were ranchers in Oregon, or were farmers in the Midwest. It just kept teaching us how much we want to honor this world, and how hard it is to survive out there. It started dictating the world itself."[27]

text: Since The Good Dinosaur is set in a world in which dinosaurs never became extinct, they were instead able to evolve. Herbivores like Arlo and his family become farmers, and carnivores like the T. rex become ranchers. Because they are meant to be reminiscent of cowboys, when the T. rex run, their lower bodies mimic a galloping horse, while their upper bodies have the feel of a riding cowboy. To help inspire Butch's physical look and performance, the filmmakers looked at classic film cowboys such as characters portrayed by Clint Eastwood and Jack Palance.[36]

text: Release[edit]

text: The Good Dinosaur was theatrically released on November 25, 2015.[41] Before the rescheduling from 2014 to 2015, a Monsters University short film titled Party Central was set to accompany the film, but was instead shown with the theatrical release of Disney's Muppets Most Wanted.[42] In April 2015, it was announced that a new Pixar short, Sanjay's Super Team, directed by Sanjay Patel, would be shown in front of The Good Dinosaur instead.[43]

text: The film's teaser trailer was released on June 2, 2015,[44][45] and the first official trailer was released on July 21, 2015.[46] The film received an exclusive run at The Grand Rex in Paris a week before its U.S. and European premiere.[47]

text: Home media[edit]

text: Reception[edit]

text: Box office[edit]

text: The Good Dinosaur grossed $123.1 million in the United States and Canada and $209.1 million in other countries, for a worldwide total of $332.2 million[6] against a production budget of $175–200 million,[50][51] making it Pixar's lowest-grossing film. Adding in the marketing budget, the film had a cost of $350 million,[52] which it was not able to recoup.[53][54][55][56] However, the film proved to be much more financially successful in terms of home video sales.[57][58]

text: In North America, The Good Dinosaur opened on Wednesday, November 25, 2015 alongside Creed and Victor Frankenstein, as well as the wide releases of Brooklyn, Spotlight, and Trumbo. The film was projected to gross $60–65 million from 3,749 theaters in its first five days, including $45 million in its opening weekend.[59] It made $1.3 million from its Tuesday night previews and $9.8 million on its first day. The film ended up grossing $55.6 million in its first five days, including $39.2 million in its opening weekend, finishing second at the box office behind the second weekend of Mockingjay – Part 2, the final installment in the Hunger Games film series.[60]

text:
Outside North America, it earned $28.7 million from 39 markets, including 8 significant markets. Unlike the USA, where it had the benefit of the Thanksgiving weekend, it did not have the same benefit internationally. Rather, its release date was designed to set it up to run through the December holiday.[61] The top openings were in the United Kingdom ($4.3 million), Mexico ($3.6 million), France ($3.2 million), Argentina ($2.2 million), and Russia ($2.1 million). Of those, it opened at No. 1 in Mexico, Argentina and Russia.[62]
In terms of total earnings, its leading markets are the United Kingdom ($10.1 million), Mexico ($8.7 million), and France ($8.1 million).[63]

text: Critical response[edit]

text: The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating of 76%, based on 198 reviews, with a rating average of 6.5/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "The Good Dinosaur delivers thrillingly beautiful animation in service of a worthy story that, even if it doesn't quite live up to the lofty standards set by Pixar, still adds up to charming, family-friendly entertainment."[64] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 66 out of 100, based on 37 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[65] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[60]

text: Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times described it as "antic and unexpected as well as homiletic, rife with subversive elements, wacky critters and some of the most beautiful landscapes ever seen in a computer animated film."[66] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times felt the film "has a few things on its mind, but its tone is overwhelmingly playful, not hectoring."[67]  Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal opined that "As Pixar productions go, this one isn't a groundbreaker, but it's heartfelt and endearing, as well as visually splendiferous, and kids will love it for sure."[68] "Clever and cloying by turns, it's a movie that always seems to be trying to evolve beyond its conventional trappings, and not succeeding as often as Pixar devotees have come to expect," wrote Justin Chang of Variety.[69] Many of the reviewers praised the sophistication of its nearly photorealistic backgrounds.[67][70][71][72]

text: Christopher Orr of The Atlantic felt it to be the studio's first film explicitly targeted towards children, though it is "by no means a bad movie […] It's a simple story, well-told."[70] Mark Feeney, writing for The Boston Globe, felt similarly, deeming it a "very middling movie […] The Good Dinosaur generally features a sort of sentimentality and emotional reductiveness that make it seem meant for small children as no previous Pixar movie has."[71] The Washington Post's Stephanie Merry dubbed it "a nice, conventional story, but it’s not Pixar-level imaginative."[72] Richard Roeper, for the Chicago Sun-Times, felt it "one strange, aggressively gross and dark adventure […] Inconsistent and weird, The Good Dinosaur is second-level Pixar all the way."[73] Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter derided its "disappointingly derivative" screenplay.[74]
