Larry is a major character in Disney's 2006 animated feature film The Wild.
Role in the film[]
Larry is a dim-witted yet very good-hearted anaconda snake who tries to keep up with Samson and the gang, despite his lack of hands or legs. Though he does help, being the stretchiest animal in the zoo, and his elongated body can be used as a variety of tools/items. He is used as a slingshot during the curling championship when Samson is about to fling his turtle-curling iron across the ice rink, but slips. Larry is also used as a prop when he and the other animals become trapped inside a garbage truck. Samson uses Larry to hold the trash compressor open, but it fails. Larry then frightens the truck driver, and the animals manage to escape. Larry is almost killed alongside Samson, Nigel, and Bridget as a trio of rabid stray dogs try to attack them. So Samson used him as a rope to open a draining vent to make him, and the other two, escape through the sewer rather than fight. He accompanies Samson during Ryan's rescue and gives Ryan a choking hug upon finding him. Larry is last seen on the boat wearing a fruit hat and makeup done by Cloak and Camo as a "snake-over", and dances with his zoo friends as they head back home.
He shares the same name with Larry the Cable Guy, who voices Mater from Pixar's Cars franchise since 2006, the same year The Wild was released theatrically. Coincidentally, Richard Kind has also voiced Van in said Pixar franchise.
