That is one of the film’s downfalls but only a minor point. So, who among the cast of this classic cartoon does get more screen time alongside Bob and his family inThe Bob’s Burgers Movie? These following characters have a chance to shine, sometimes in pretty surprising ways.
Warning: Spoilers Ahead
8Teddy
Teddy is a very needy characterin the series. He is always trying to shove his way into Bob’s business. The same is true forThe Bob’s Burgers Movieas Teddy builds Bob a burger cart. Instead of being satisfied with that accomplishment, Teddy volunteers to be the waiter while Linda dances around in Gene’s burger costume. Calling him a waiter is a stretch since customers can just tell Bob what they want directly. At least he’s trying.
7Sergeant Bosco
Sergeant Bosco pops up now and again whenever the plot centers around some kind of crime. Bosco is part of the robbery division but it’s plain to tell that he wants to be something more throughout the series likea crime detective. Louise, Gene, and Tina meet Bosco inThe Bob’s Burgers Moviewhile he is on a stakeout.
Since he is part of the robbery division, he can’t help the kids out with their murder mystery. Louise still has some pity for Bosco so she tips him off in the finale to get credit before the crime division shows up. He has a small arc in the movie but it’s a fun one.
6Felix Fischoeder
Felix and Calvin Fischoeder are kind of a package deal. Calvin is a more pronounced character in the series as he is the landlord of Bob’s restaurant. He has a more subdued role inThe Bob’s Burgers Moviethough since he is arrested early, giving Felix more airtime.

Felix’s desperation for power and love have always been a fun part of his character in the show. That’s more apparent in the movie as he tries to hook up with Fanny again having recently gotten out of jail. She tried to kill the Fischoeders and Belchers in an early season. Felix doesn’t seem to care though.
5Bob Belcher
Boband Linda Belcherare also like a package deal. Bob has more of an arc than Linda, which is why he gets the top choice. He’s always afraid of losing his business. All he wants is to cook burgers to make people happy and to provide for his family.
Things keep getting in his way in the series and it gets even zanier inThe Bob’s Burgers Movie. The bank is going to close their loan and a giant sinkhole opens up in front of the restaurant. Some of Bob’s best lines in the movie are just him groaning or saying “oh no” on repeat.
4Tina Belcher
Tina begins theseries obsessed with Jimmy Pesto Jr. She soon realizes that Jimmy is kind of a dork that doesn’t want or deserve her attention. However, she still has some reserved feelings for him which bubble up inThe Bob’s Burgers Movie.
She wants to have Jimmy be her summer fling but then another part remembers how lame he can be. Her back and forth fantasies are some of the funniest parts of the movie. This includes a scene where zombies ride past on a horse.
3Gene Belcher
Gene has wanted to do two things in the series. He wants to be a comedian and he also wants tobe a musician. One of his musical ventures had him form the Itty Bitty Ditty Committee in an earlier season.

Gene wants to reform the band again in the movie so that they can play at the wharf. Is he good enough? He has to get over his self-confidence bump and realize that his musical inventions are indeed unique and worth listening to.
2Grover Fischoeder
Grover is a cousin to the Fischoeder brothers of Calvin and Felix. He is also their lawyer. At first, it seems like he is an abused cousin who Felix and Calvin don’t like very much. That part is true. The surprising part is that Grover is the one that killed the Carny six years ago. Heis the criminal.
He would have framed or killed his cousins at that point as well, but a construction worker messed up his plans. They don’t make a lot of sense in the end, but it’s still easy to sympathize with Grover’s plight on some level.
1Louise Belcher
Louise is essentiallythe star ofThe Bob’s Burgers Movie. Everyone has an arc in the film but most of it revolves around Louise kicking things into gear. She gets made fun of in school because of her hat. This makes her go into the sinkhole wherein she discovers a dead body.
She drags her siblings along the mystery tour to solve this murder and to make sure she can be called a baby no longer. In the end, she learns a valuable lesson and grows along the way. The true origins of her hat are also uncovered, which was a big mystery to the fans who only got a taste in an early season.
