Soon, Gary receives a message from Lena Thackleman (voiced by Jessica Alba), the head of BASA, that Scorch will be sent to the 'Dark Planet' (the Baabians name for Earth) due to a SOS call. ![]() It's so boring and listless that I can’t believe so many talented people were a part of it. Garys son Kip (voiced by Jonathan Morgan Heit) is a big fan of his uncle Scorch. If there is any money left over, which there shouldn’t be, it should be burned because not even a charity should see a piece of this blood money.
