[edit] Character

Freddi Fish is a fictional anthropomorphic fish in the award winning Freddi Fish series of children's software from Humongous Entertainment. Freddi Fish has her own pal, Luther, who is her best friend and goes with her on all her adventures.

While there is nothing to suggest that Freddi and Luther are related, Freddi has a grandmother (Grandma Grouper) who appears in the first adventure, and a cousin (Cousin Calico) who appears in the fourth adventure. Luther's uncle (Uncle Blenny) appears in the third adventure.

The voices of Freddi Fish and Luther were performed by Annette Toutonghi and Mike McAuliffe at Bad Animals studio in Seattle, WA.
