In addition to following the Belchers, The Bob's Burgers Movie will feature a handful of the beloved side characters from the television show, though it nearly included even more. The Fox animated series Bob's Burgers continues to grow its fanbase as the one and only Belcher family expands its reach to the big screen. The series' main characters include Bob (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin), the owner Bob's Burgers, and his wife Linda (John Roberts). Bob and Linda are parents to Tina (Mintz), Louise ( Kristen Schaal), and Gene (Eugene Mirman). Their antics are set to take center stage in The Bob's Burgers Movie, which finally arrives in theaters this weekend.
The adventures of the Belcher family are populated by several side characters who are as unique and hilarious as the Belchers themselves. Some of these characters include Tina's frenemy Tammy (Jenny Slate), the constantly nervous guidance counselor Mr. Frond (David Herman), and the Belcher's unusual landlord, Calvin Fischoeder (Kevin Kline), just to name a few. These and several other Bob's Burgers characters have won their way into the hearts of many who watch the series. Therefore, it isn't too surprising to hear that The Bob's Burgers Movie will include some of them — though it came close to featuring all of them.
