Freddi Fish

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Freddi Fish is an award winning series of children's software from Humongous Entertainment.

Freddi Fish is an anthropomorphic, yellow fish who takes on detective investigations throughout the series of games. She has her own pal, the green-colored Luther, who is her best friend and goes with her on all her adventures.^[1] The voices of Freddi Fish and Luther were performed by Annette Toutonghi and Mike McAuliffe at Bad Animals studio in Seattle, WA.

Freddi Fish has also changed sex since the first official release. In Freddi Fish 1, her grandmother referred to both her and Luther as 'boys'. However in a later series, Freddi Fish said that she's a girl when someone mistook her for a boy. She was also referred to as a "frank lady" on the old Club Humongous Online website. ^[2]
