Trivia[]

  • Heimlich is the second Pixar character voiced by the late Joe Ranft, after Lenny.
  • Despite referring to himself as a "butterfly", Heimlich is most likely a promethea silkmoth instead, due to his obese build and teal-lime green colorization as a caterpillar, brown cocoon, and having a brown and white pattern on his wings as an imago. This additionally makes him another moth in P.T.'s troupe alongside Gypsy, who is a gypsy moth.
  • It is unknown how Heimlich turned into a butterfly in the 1999 series.
