The Smiths family can be regarded a typical American social unit: the head of the family is a successful advertising manager Jerry Smith who has neither intelligence nor ambitions. Jerry is a huge fan of the «Titanic» movie and he never misses an opportunity to make a joke about his wife. Jerry’s wife – Beth – was the beauty queen in high school and held big promises.

She is constantly thinking about «What if…» and tries to divorce her husband from time to time.

The fruit of their love – Summer – is a typical 16-year-old teenage-girl who is worried about her appearance. Summer is deeply in love with her phone and can’t live a minute without it, furthermore she is a women’s rights defender. The second child in the Smiths family is Morty – a goofy boy in the prime of puberty. He dreams of a girl from his class but his appearance doesn’t allow the boy to get what he wants.

Skeleton in the closet of the Smiths family is Rick – Beth’s father – who can design a robot in a few minutes and can make a device to give dogs intelligence. Rick is crazy about science and experiments, he is a cynic to the bone, he doesn’t believe in God and love and he is only attached to alcohol and Morty.

Carrying Morty with him to numerous journeys and adventures, Rick shows him an infinite variety of the universe. Together they will get into Anatomy park inside of the drunk Santa Claus, they will buy a sex-robot which produces Gazorpazorps – the evilest creatures on the planet, they will unearth the aliens’ plot when they replaced the Earth with a modeled world and even will beat Devil himself who bought Google!

Actors are special people. They are able to bring any character to life, to make him the point of discussion, hatred or admiration.

There are special requirements for voice actors: it’s a pleasant tone of voice, a perfect diction, an ability to imitate sounds and outstanding vocals.

Justin Roiland who voice-overs both main characters in fact talks to himself most of the time and he changes from one character to another brilliantly. However, he has his favorite, it’s more pleasant for him to voice-over the mas scientist Rick – many of his line are pure improvisation.

Sarah Chalke – who is known as Elliot Reid from the sitcom «Scrubs» – agreed to take part into an experimental project, inspired by the quality of animation – she voices Morty’s mother.

Chris Parnell – Morty’s father – is also rather famous in Hollywood: he has more than 120 works on his account, including the series «30 Rock» and the sitcom “Suburgatory”.
