The Simpsons got a movie. Family Guy got Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story. South Park got South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Now finally, Bob's Burgers is getting its cinematic due. The Bob's Burgers Movie will follow the adventures of the lovably quirky Belchers and their foundering burger joint, filled with more of Linda singing, Gene dancing, Louise plotting, and Bob complaining than fans can shake a bun at.
With two official The Bob's Burger Movie trailers now out along with the complete cast list, fans can finally determine exactly which of their favorite characters are confirmed to appear in the movie, from the Belchers and their ubiquitous friend Teddy to their endearingly aloof landlord Mr. Fischoeder.
Bob Belcher
Putting the "Bob" in Bob's Burgers, Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) the patriarch of the Belcher clan returns to over-analyze situations and flip burgers. In the trailer, Bob can be seen easily being upstaged --as usual-- by his more eccentric family members as he perpetually tries to be the voice of reason while dealing with a culinary crisis.
It's summertime and Bob is trying to find new and innovative ways to compete for the summer crowd's business, but when a water main bursts and creates a giant sinkhole in front of the restaurant, he has to find a way to keep Bob's Burgers afloat despite the bank and Mr. Fischoeder determined to see Bob fail.
Linda Belcher
Bob's wife and restaurant cheerleader Linda (John Roberts) is back for more show tunes and singalongs, bringing her sunny disposition just in time for Wagstaff's hottest months of the year. She can be seen dressing up like a giant hamburger in a whimsical attempt to get people talking about Bob's Burgers at the pier, scaring away more customers than she's attracting.
As the glue that holds the many malfunctioning parts of her family together, Linda seems as determined as ever to help the family business stay open, keep her husband's spirits up, and make sure that the kids don't die investigating the sinkhole before school can get back in session.
Tina Belcher
The eldest Belcher sibling and everyone's favorite horse girl Tina (Dan Mintz) is up to her old tricks and maintaining some of Bob's Burgers' longest-running gags; having vivid horse dreams (Jericho's back!), fantasizing about boys (Jimmy Jr. takes off his pants!), and making the kind of magical summer memories being a teenager is all about.
According to the trailer, Tina is going to be supervising the antics of her younger siblings while they spelunk into the sinkhole that has appeared in Wagstaff, documenting their adventures for posterity (and perhaps even their own YouTube channel).
Louise Belcher
The brains of any Belcher operation, Louise (Kristen Schaal) and her pink-eared hat are back wheeling and dealing, never failing to remind her family (and the fans) that if it weren't for her, nothing interesting would ever happen in Wagstaff.
Curiously missing from the trailer is her academic arch-nemesis Mr. Frond, the Wagstaff school guidance counselor, but it appears Louise has her hands full sneaking into the pier at night, repelling into the mysterious sinkhole to witness dangers untold, and reuniting with a life-sized Kuchi Kopi.
Gene Belcher
Not content to let his sisters have all the fun, Gene (Eugene Mirman) and his sick beats return for an encore, making sure that the summertime adventures of the Belchers always have just the right soundtrack. Would it even be a Bob's Burgers movie if Gene didn't make a melody to accompany every single sound he heard?
Towards the end of the trailer, he can be seen doing a lot of theatrical reactions to Louise's sinkhole spelunking, while Tina does her best to capture the emotional reality of his performance. Gene's always ready for the next great adventure, and the mystery of the giant sinkhole seems like the most exciting one yet.
Teddy
No storyline about the Belchers could be complete without Teddy (Larry Murphy), Bob's Burger's best customer and a side character who might as well be a Belcher. Whether it's coming in for a daily special or doing some interesting repairs around the place, the handyman proves his loyalty to the burger-loving brood time and again.
The Bob's Burgers Movie seems to involve Teddy setting things on fire, and no doubt he'll probably offer some unusual marketing advice about how Bob can bring his burgers to the masses, and even some tips on Louise's sinkhole expedition.
Mr. Fischoeder
As idyllic as the Belcher's life may seem, darkening the doorway of Bob's Burgers is the omnipotent Mr. Fischoeder (Kevin Kline), their landlord, the owner of the pier's most popular attractions, and one of Wagstaff's most influential citizens.
An eccentric egomaniac, Mr. Fischoeder is often a primary antagonist in the series, but by the looks of the trailer, there could be something (or someone) even more sinister preventing Bob and his family from making record profits this summer.
Felix Fischoeder
Along with Mr. Fishouder, the Belcher's devious landlord, his brother Felix Fischoeder (Zach Galifianakis) will be making an appearance in The Bob's Burgers Movie, though it's unclear in what capacity (other than to try to senselessly compete with his older sibling for money and prestige).
Felix Fischoeder appears briefly in the trailer, first in a tiny submarine, and then dancing in front of several mirrors while wearing what appears to be formal naval dress. The presence of Felix normally indicates a falling out with his brother, so fans can look forward to him gloating about his sibling's crumbling schemes.
Sergeant Bosco
Though he's one of the Bob's Burgers side characters who only appear whenever there's some sort of illicit or illegal activities going on in Bob's Burgers, Sergeant Bosco (Gary Cole) is a fan favorite. A throwback to the gritty cop dramas of the '70s with his omnipresent toothpick and his brown suit, Bosco is a hilarious addition to the colorful cast.
He can be seen for a brief moment in the trailer peering into the sinkhole in front of Bob's restaurant, just before Bob gets hit in the face with some kind of tar. If there's anyone who can get to the bottom of the sinkhole mystery, it's Sergeant Bosco.
Jimmy Pesto Jr.
The prodigal son of Jimmy Pesto and older brother of Andy and Ollie Pesto, Jimmy Jr. (also H. Jon Benjamin) returns to join Tina on her fantastic summer adventures in Wagstaff. Whether it's riding a wild stallion half-naked, or just trying to figure out what's going on in that sinkhole, Jimmy Jr. is never one to shy away from anything that might put him in the spotlight.
There's no sign of Jimmy Jr. cutting a rug in the trailer, but it seems a shame not to let the heir of the Pesto dynasty dance a few numbers, especially since The Bob's Burgers Movie is a musical.
Courtney Wheeler
The Belcher siblings have a lot of interactions with the other students at Wagstaff Elementary School, and while most of them are friendly, some involve interacting with truly toxic characters like Courtney Wheeler (David Wain) who insist on making their lives miserable.
Courtney is barely seen in the trailer, which is odd considering how obsessive she could get about Louise, Tina, and Gene at school. If they're having any summer adventures, Courtney is all but guaranteed to join them, whether they know it or not.
Hugo
When the Fischoeder brothers aren't making life hard for Bob and Linda Belcher, Hugo (Sam Seder) the Health Inspector is picking up the slack. Appearing at the most inopportune times, the Belchers constantly have to scramble to make sure he doesn't close Bob's Burgers down for good over any health violations.
By the looks of the trailer, since the restaurant is in jeopardy of closing, Hugo might be celebrating victory, but if the premise of the movie involves something that brings the community of Wagstaff together, he and the Belchers might find themselves working together like they begrudgingly have in the past.
