The voice cast was heavy with television sitcom stars of the time: Flik was voiced by Dave Foley (from "NewsRadio"), Princess Atta was voiced by Julia Louis-Dreyfus (from "Seinfeld"), Molt was voiced by Richard Kind (from "Spin City"), Slim was voiced by David Hyde Pierce (from "Frasier") and Dim was voiced by Brad Garrett (from "Everybody Loves Raymond"). Joe Ranft, member of Pixar's story team, played Heimlich the caterpillar at the suggestion of Lasseter's wife, Nancy, who had heard him playing the character on a scratch vocal track.
