WEDGIE & GIZMO

Narrators Johnny Heller and Maxwell Glick are unfailingly exuberant as they bring Wedgie and Gizmo to life. This is no easy task, given these two large personalities—one a guinea pig set on taking over the world and the other the quintessential family dog, ever faithful but out of step. Wedgie and Gizmo are in the thick of it whether racing about in a superhero cape, bemoaning a new pink plastic cage, or out walking with Elliot and Jasmine. Heller and Glick use every narration technique—low, menacing drawn-out words; enthusiastic utterances in bouncy high-pitched tones; and pacing as dizzying as the action. A fun-filled romp.
