Background[]

Trivia[]

  • The Spanish dub calls him "Gansabio" which translates to "Wise Goose".
  • When Brightbill is in conflict with Roz over the murder of his biological family, Longneck points out to the young goose that, as unfortunate as it may be, if Roz hadn’t accidentally killed his mother and the other eggs, he wouldn’t have reached adulthood for the simple fact that of being born as a runt. Longneck's words reference how in real life many animals are completely blase about abandoning or even eating their own weakest babies to make sure the rest of the brood or litter would survive.
  • The second DreamWorks Animation film to have Bill Nighy voice a character, after Whitey in Flushed Away.
