The characters of Planet 51
Capt. Charles 'Chuck' Baker
Voiced by Dwayne Johnson
Chuck Baker grew up dreaming of being a florist, but since he had hay fever, he had to settle for astronaut. He's brave, dashing, confident and looks good in a big puffy white spacesuit. What Chuck lacks in brains, he makes up for in boldness. Lem
Voiced by Justin Long
Lem is a nice, typical kid, your basic goody-two shoes. He's never late, does his homework on time, and always drinks his Galactic Goo from a glass, not the container. On the surface, he's a shy geek, but beneath the green skin beats the heart of a hero. Neera
Voiced by Jessica Biel
Neera is your typical girl next door: smart, pretty with clear green skin and the cutest sensory antenna poking out of her forehead. Don't be fooled by her demure looks though. Neera speaks her mind and on Planet 51, everyone has a jumbo-sized brain, so her mind is really loud. Neera is like a lot of boys her age: she's torn between being a rebel and playing it safe. And if you tell her what to do or who to hang out with, well ... you don't want to be you. Skiff
Voiced by Seann William Scott
Poor Skiff. He's Lem's best friend, which wouldn't be a bad thing if Lem was a really cute girl who was into conspiracy theories about alien life and governmental cover-ups, but Lem. Skiff is looking for that special someone who loves and understands him. The good news is that he finds that special someone. The bad news is that special someone is a robotic exploration vehicle named Rover. Rover
Rover is part space exploration robot, part Labrador retriever. If you like your pets to have petroleum gas sensors, then Rover is for you. If you want a cute companion that can fetch your slippers and collect carbon nanomaterials for spectrometer analysis, Rover is your guy. He works for Chuck, but becomes Skiff's loyal pet, proving that while dogs may be man's best friend, robots have better taste in owners. Planet 51: What's the Twitter buzz?

When nine atmospheric crafts of unknown origin were discovered in the Antarctic in the late 1940s, the U.S. government established Area 51 to study the abandoned technology. Dr. Hans Von Seeckt, who is the only original member of the secret research committee, has observed the marvelous craft in flight and witnessed a fantastic array of bizarre, unexplained phenomena. But Dr. Van Seeckt fears that the technology of the mothership is beyond our scope and an explosive threat to the entire planet. He must race against time to unlock the secret of the ship--and to the origins of mankind itself.
