Heimlich

"One day, I will be a beautiful butterfly."

- Heimlich ""Mr. Early Bird, how about a nice, tasty worm on a stick?""

- - Heimlich

Heimlich is a green caterpillar with a German accent and a clown in P.T. Flea's circus troupe. He is gluttonous and frivolous throughout, and contemptuous of anyone he considers less intelligent than himself. At one point, he remarks that he dreams of being a beautiful butterfly. At the end of the film, he sprouts a pair of tiny wings, but remains flightless due to his obesity (and because he apparently didn't stay in the cocoon long enough)

He was voiced by the late Pixar Storyartist Joe Ranft.
