Pete (also namedPeg Leg Pete,[b]Bad Pete andBlack Pete,[6] among other names) is a cartoon character created byWalt Disney andUb Iwerks ofThe Walt Disney Company. Pete is traditionally depicted as the villainousarch-nemesis ofMickey Mouse, and was made notorious for his repeated attempts to kidnapMinnie Mouse. Pete is the oldest continuing Disney character, having debuted in the cartoonAlice Solves the Puzzle in1925.[7] He originally bore the appearance of an anthropomorphicbear, but with the advent of Mickey in 1928, he was defined as acat.[1][3][5]
Pete appeared in 67 animated short films between 1925 and 1954, having been featured in theAlice Comedies andOswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons, and later in theMickey Mouse,Donald Duck, andGoofy cartoons.[6] DuringWorld War II, he played the long-suffering sergeant trying to make a soldier out of Donald Duck in a series of animated shorts.[8]
Pete's final appearance during this era wasThe Lone Chipmunks (1954), which was the final installment of a three-partChip 'n' Dale series. He also appeared in the featurettesMickey's Christmas Carol (1983) andThe Prince and the Pauper (1990), the feature filmsA Goofy Movie (1995),An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000),Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas (1999), andMickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers (2004), and the short filmGet a Horse! (2013).
Pete has also made many appearances inDisney comics. He appeared asSylvester Shyster's dimwitted sidekick in the earlyMickey Mouse comic strips before evolving into the main antagonist. In theItalian comics production he has been given a girlfriend,Trudy, and has come to be the central character in some stories. Pete later made several appearances in television, most extensively inGoof Troop (1992–1993) where he was given a different continuity, having a family and a regular job as a used car salesman and being a friend (albeit a poor one) to Goofy. He reprises this incarnation in 1999'sMickey's Once Upon a Christmas. Pete also appears inHouse of Mouse (2001–2003) as the greedy property owner who is always trying to exploit devious ways and loopholes to get the club shut down.
Although Pete is often typecast as avillain, he has shown great versatility within the role, playing everything from a hardened criminal (The Dognapper,The Lone Chipmunks and most of his depictions in comics) to a legitimate authority figure (Moving Day,Donald Gets Drafted,Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip), and from a menacing trouble maker (Building a Building,Trombone Trouble) to a victim of mischief himself (Timber,The Vanishing Private). On some occasions, Pete has even played a sympathetic character, all the while maintaining his underlying menacing nature (Symphony Hour,How to Be a Detective). In the animated TV seriesMickey Mouse Clubhouse, which is aimed at preschoolers, he is largely a friendly character, although his antics can occasionally prove an annoyance.
Pete first appeared in theWalt Disney-produced 1920sAlice Comedies short subject series.
He first appeared inAlice Solves the Puzzle (February 15, 1925) as Bootleg Pete.[7] His nickname was a reference to his career ofbootlegging alcoholic beverages duringProhibition in the United States (1920-1933). In the cartoon, Pete's activities bring him to a beach in time to see Alice working on acrossword puzzle. Pete happens to be a collector of crossword puzzles, and identifies Alice's puzzle being a rare one missing from his collection. The rest of the short focuses on his antagonizing Alice and her drunk-on-moonshine catJulius in order to steal it.
The menacing, peg-leggedbear villain commanded quite a presence on the screen and was destined to return. In various laterAlice Comedies, the character again battled and competed with Alice and Julius, often under the aliases Putrid Pete and Pegleg Pete.[7]
Disney needed a villain to place against his new starOswald the Lucky Rabbit, and Pete was introduced to his new adversary in the sixth Oswald shortThe Ocean Hop (September 8, 1927). Apparently inspired byCharles Lindbergh, the two enter an aeroplane race across the Atlantic Ocean.[9] By the time producerCharles Mintz moved production of the Oswald series to his own studio, Pete had been established as the most consistently appearing supporting character to Oswald, and the character continued to appear in that role in the Oswald films directed and produced byWalter Lantz until 1937, making him essentially the only cartoon character at the time to frequently appear in shorts produced by two rival animation studios. His most notable non-Disney appearance was arguably as a captain inPermanent Wave (September 29, 1929).
After leaving the Oswald series, Disney and his team created a cat villain for their new protagonistMickey Mouse. Originally unnamed in the cartoons and called "Terrible Tom" in a January 1930 comic strip, the villain was called Pegleg Pete by April 1930, formalizing him as a new incarnation of the pre-Mickey bad guy.[10][11] AnimatorNorm Ferguson, known for developingPluto, also developed Pete's character in several shorts and he was made to resemble actorWallace Beery.[5][12]
Pete appeared as Mickey's enemy beginning with the 1928 cartoonsThe Gallopin' Gaucho andSteamboat Willie. While he was seen with two legs in those films, he first appeared with a peg-leg in 1930'sThe Cactus Kid and would speak for the first time. He would first appear in color inMoving Day (1936), which would drop the peg-leg.[13] In the cartoons of the 1930s, Pete would be Mickey Mouse's nemesis, but would vary in professions, from an all-out outlaw (Gallopin' Gaucho,The Cactus Kid,Two-Gun Mickey) to a brutal law-enforcer (Moving Day, where Pete is asheriff who serves Mickey and Donald Duck with aneviction notice).[14] On the other hand, in the 1942 cartoonSymphony Hour, Pete is a sympatheticimpresario who sponsors Mickey's orchestra in a concert, which goes terribly wrong but is a great success. As Mickey's popularity declined, Pete would serve as an antagonist forDonald Duck and to a lesser extentGoofy andChip 'n' Dale. In the 1940s, Pete would play the role of Donald's drill sergeant in several war-themed shorts (eg.Donald Gets Drafted,The Old Army Game)
InDisney comics, Pete is consistently depicted as a professional criminal, who often teams up with Mickey Mouse enemiesSylvester Shyster,Eli Squinch, orthe Phantom Blot.
In a promotional strip for theMickey Mouse comic strip in early 1930, he was announced as "Terrible Tom – The Vile Villain", but this name was never used afterwards.[15] In the April 24, 1930 strip, Mickey refers to him as "Pegleg Pete", and the name sticks.[16] Pete first appeared in theMickey Mouse comic strip on April 21, 1930, in the story "Mickey Mouse in Death Valley".[17] This appearance is the first time since theAlice Comedies that Pete has apegleg.[18]Floyd Gottfredson occasionally committed goofs, with the pegleg switching from Pete's right leg to his left one. In the August 26, 1930 strip, Pete's peg swaps from right to left between one panel to the next. Pete's pegleg also appears on the left in the July 11 strip, and for the week of September 3 to 9.[17] In Gottfredson's story "The Mystery at Hidden River" (1941–42), the pegleg disappeared, with Pete having two normal legs: when Mickey expressed surprise at this, Pete described one of his legs as a new, "streamlined, modern" artificial leg.[19]
In 1944, Walt Disney decided to retire the character from the shorts; comics historian Alberto Becattini writes that this was "partly because he was concerned that it seemed to be a case of mocking the afflicted, partly because the animators could never remember which leg was the wooden one."[18] Pete also left the comic strip for a few years; his last appearance was in "The World of Tomorrow", which ran from July to September 1944.[20]
However, Pete continued to appear in the comic books – in 1945, he was the heavy in the Donald Duck comic "Frozen Gold" (Four Color #62, January 1945)[21] and in Mickey's "The Riddle of the Red Hat" (Four Color #79, August 1945).[22] He surfaced again in a number of "giveaway" comics in 1946 and 1947 – "Mickey's Christmas Trees" (Donald and Mickey Merry Christmas, 1946), "Donald and the Pirates" (Cheerios Premium #W1, 1947), "Mickey Mouse and the Haunted House" (Cheerios Premium #W4, 1947), "Mickey Mouse at the Rodeo" (Cheerios Premium #X4, 1947), "Mickey Mouse's Helicopter" (Boys and Girls March of Comics Giveaway #8, 1947) – and came back to the comic books in "Mickey Mouse and the Submarine Pirates" (Four Color #141, March 1947).
With Pete still appearing in comic books, Gottfredson brought him back to the comic strip in "Pegleg Pete Reforms" (March 1947).[23] His last appearance in the strip was in "The Isle of Moola-La" (April–October 1952).[24] From then on, he made many more appearances in the comic books.
InMickey Mouse in Death Valley and in several subsequent storylines, Pete was portrayed as Sylvester Shyster's henchman. From 1934, he gradually started to work on his own. Sometimes, Pete also teams up with other bad guys in the Disney universe, such asScrooge McDuck's enemies (theBeagle Boys andMagica De Spell),Mad Madam Mim,Captain Hook, and theEvil Queen. In various comics stories, his right-hand man is a skinny, bearded criminal namedScuttle. In Italian comics, his girlfriendTrudy (Trudy Van Tubb) is his frequent partner-in-crime. His cousin the "mad scientist"Portis is another, less frequent, accomplice.
In the 1943 comic strip storyMickey Mouse on a Secret Mission, he was an agent ofNazi Germany, working as the henchman ofGestapo spy Von Weasel. In the 1950 comic strip storyThe Moook Treasure, he is even portrayed as theBeria-like deputy chief of intelligence in a totalitarian state on the other side of theIron Curtain.
His name in Italy has remained "Pietro Gambadilegno" ("Pegleg Peter"), or simply "Gambadilegno" ("Pegleg") even though it has been a long time since he was actually depicted with a pegleg in either comics or animated cartoons. In an Italian story byRomano Scarpa, "Topolino e la dimensione Delta" ("Mickey Mouse and the Delta Dimension", first published in 1959), Pete briefly removes his artificial leg, revealing his old foot-high pegleg underneath. Usually, Gambadilegno is depicted as the antagonist ofChief Seamus O'Hara ("commissario Adamo Basettoni") andDetective Casey ("ispettore Manetta") and is either a rival or a partner-in-crime of thePhantom Blot ("Macchia Nera").
Pete returned in the 2013 shortGet a Horse!, and was animated as having a peg left leg.
DuringWorld War II, Pete was "drafted" by Walt Disney and appeared as the official mascot of theUnited States Merchant Marine. He appeared in Donald Duck's series of army films where he plays Donald'sDrill Sergeant and laterSergeant andJumpmaster. In theMickey Mouse comic strip, he was a spy forNazi Germany in the episodeMickey Mouse on a Secret Mission (1943), his motivation being the money.

Comic book stories have depicted Pete as being descended from a long line of villains, highwaymen and outlaws. Even historical figures such asAttila the Hun,Blackbeard,Antonio López de Santa Anna,Billy The Kid, andCao Cao have been included among his ancestors. His mother is known only as Maw Pete and was mentioned in the story "Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold" byCarl Barks andJack Hannah (first published October 1942) as a resident of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her only appearance was in "The River Pirates" (Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #336–338, published September–November 1968) byCarl Fallberg andPaul Murry. The same story introduced Li'l Pete, Black Pete's short fraternaltwinbrother.[25] In December 1998, theMickey Mouse comic strip introduced an oldersister of Pete. Petula is the television host of the cooking showPetula's Pantry. She finds time, however, to seek revenge against Mickey for condemning her "babybrother" to life imprisonment. Pete's twin brother, named Zeke appears in "Double Trouble", byCarl Fallberg andPaul Murry.[26]
Better-known and more enduring as characters are two figures created byRomano Scarpa forItalianDisney comics. The first,Trudy Van Tubb, was introduced inTopolino e la collana Chirikawa (published in English asTheChirikawa Necklace, first published on March 10, 1960). This female partner of Pete was presented as a childhood acquaintance of his: they are even shown as kids kidnapping Mickey when he was a baby.[27] However, Trudy soon became Pete's girlfriend, his partner-in-crime and roommate—whenever they hold residence out of prison, that is. Their relationship seems to have evolved to a long-standing common-law marriage. This is occasionally used in contrast to Mickey's eternal engagement to Minnie Mouse and Goofy's determination to remain a bachelor. Trudy and Pete also have two hellion nephews named Pierino and Pieretto who often serve as foils for Mickey or Mickey's nephewsMorty and Ferdie.[28]
The second character to be created by Scarpa is Pete's cousin, the criminal scientistPortis (Plottigat in the original Italian version; English name first used inWalt Disney's Comics and Stories 695, 2008). Portis first appeared inTopolino e il Pippo-lupo (published in English asThe Weregoof's Curse; January 9, 1977).[29]
Ed Nofziger is responsible for a third recurring character, an alternative girlfriend of Pete named Chirpy Bird. She first appeared inTopolino e i piccioni "poliziotti" (Mickey Mouse and the Pigeon Police, first published in December 1981) and starred as Pete's partner-in-crime in eight stories from 1981 to 1984.[30] In France, she and Trudy are presented as the same character, being both renamed Gertrude, despite Trudy being a cat and Chirpy being a canary.
InMickey Mouse Works, Pete has another cousin named Zeke. Zeke is a criminal like Pete, but is wary of his cousin's attempts to double-cross him "Just like old Times". Mickey often uses this distrust to turn the two against one-another.
InGoof Troop, Pete has a wife, Peg, and two children, PJ and Pistol. Alternatively, thecomic book story "Mickey's Strange Mission" fromWalt Disney's Comics & Stories #245 (1961, by Carl Fallberg and Paul Murry) suggests a cultured ancestry for Pete, giving his full name as the genteelPercy P. Percival.
InMickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures, Pete has a nephew named Jimbo, who is voiced byFred Stoller.
In the Italian comic story of 1998,Topolino e il diario di zia Topolinda (Mickey Mouse and Aunt Melinda's diary), Pete's grandma appears, depicted as the only honest member of his family.
In the first season of the 1987 TV seriesDuckTales, Pete appeared in a few episodes. However, he was portrayed as a different character in each of his appearances. Because of this, he was not always a true villain, but sometimes just a selfish individual with no evil agenda. In a few episodes, he even makes peace with Scrooge's group in the end. The various Petes appear to be their own characters, as two of them lived in different time periods, and because Scrooge never "recognizes" him, despite any previous encounters he may have had with any of the other Petes. In all of his appearances Pete was voiced byWill Ryan.

In the 1992 TV seriesGoof Troop, Pete has a family who includes his wife Peg, their two children Pete Junior (or PJ for short) and Pistol, and their dog Chainsaw with Pete taking on a more canine-like appearance. They live next door to Goofy (who went to high school with Pete) and his sonMax. In the series, Pete is often the victim of Goofy's clumsiness and mishaps, usually resulting in the destruction of his property or great personal injury. Pete owns a used-car dealership, and though no longer openly villainous, is still conniving (as well as abrasive, obnoxious, truculent and suspicious) and often exploits his good-hearted and somewhat addled friend Goofy. Often, his schemes backfire, or he feels guilty about his oafish behavior and works to set things right. His wife Peg often attempts to rid Pete of his uncouth attitude, and his son PJ is a complete opposite of his father in behavior, as he is good friends with Goofy's son Max in the series and its spin-off moviesA Goofy Movie (1995) andAn Extremely Goofy Movie (2000).Jim Cummings provided Pete's booming bass voice starting from that series, and to date is still the character's voice in all media. It is eventually revealed in the series' pilot episode "Forever Goof" that one of the reasons why Pete dislikes Goofy so much is that when Pete was a high school quarterback in a big football game, it was Goofy who accidentally caused Pete to fumble the ball and lose the game by hitting him in the face with apom pom (Goofy was on thecheerleading squad).
AfterGoof Troop, Pete reverted to his evil ways onMickey Mouse Works, where he frequently bullied the other characters and occasionally kidnappedMinnie Mouse. He would also play an average criminal (i.e. a houseburglar). Then inHouse of Mouse, he plays the role of the evil landlord. Several episodes involved his attempts to close the club by sabotaging the show, though there were times when he helped out the crew.
Pete appears in numerous episodes ofMickey Mouse Clubhouse. He maintains his protagonist and semi-antagonist role, but is significantly toned down for its preschool audience—he is less malicious and more mischievous. Viewers will find that Mickey and gang are very forgiving of Pete and his escapades. He often appears as a seller of objects the gang needs, and will give them an item in exchange forbeans. He is much nicer than his previous incarnations—in one episode, he invites the group to a Halloween party; in "Pete's Beach Blanket Luau", he even invites everyone to the titular party.
WhileClubhouse has a great deal of fun at Pete's expense (or "expanse", as he is the biggest and fattest character; they use his overalls for a sail in "Mickey and Minnie's Jungle Safari"), it also depicts him in a sympathetic light; he is openly sentimental in "Clarabelle's Clubhouse Carnival", not wanting to part with his "Petey doll" prizes. He even changes Baby Goofy's diaper (willingly) in "Goofy Baby".
TheCarnival episode also gives us the closest approximation of Pete's weight; he is shown to be the same size and weight asHumphrey the Bear.
InMickey's Great Clubhouse Hunt, he is the only character not invited to the Easter Egg Hunt (or so he thinks), so he tries to gatecrash, but messes up the secret word, causing the clubhouse to float away. At the end, he apologizes and is invited to the egg hunt after all. He is also revealed as the owner ofButch the Bulldog, who is friends with Mickey's dog,Pluto.
Pete also appears inMickey and the Roadster Racers as a recurring character, either competing against Mickey and friends in races or as a civilian in various locales. The series also features various alter egos/relatives of Pete:
Pete appears in the 2013Mickey Mouse cartoon series, and its 2020 spin-offThe Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse. In both shows, he is designed based on his appearances in the early Mickey Mouse cartoons, complete with a peg-leg. LikeMickey Mouse Works andHouse of Mouse, he has reverted to his evil ways, and again his booming bass voice is provided byJim Cummings.
In the 1983 short filmMickey's Christmas Carol, an adaptation ofCharles Dickens' novelA Christmas Carol featuring Disney characters, Pete was cast as theGhost of Christmas Yet to Come, who reveals himself by removing his hood and lighting a cigar, which also lights up the engraving on Scrooge's grave, and having only one line ("Whyyours,Ebenezer. The richest man in the cemetery!", in response to Scrooge's question about whose grave it was) and laughing cruelly while Scrooge struggles to escape from his open grave as the gates of Hell are opening.
In thisDisney version ofMark Twain'sThe Prince and the Pauper, Pete once again played as the primary villain, this time as the English king's captain of the guard. When he saw that his ruler's life was slowly diminishing, he and his henchmen, a band of anthropomorphic weasels (fromThe Wind in the Willows) who now act as the king's guards, seized the opportunity to terrorize England's citizens and rob them of their goods in "favor" of the king. After kicking out a disguised Prince, whom he mistook for the peasant boyMickey Mouse, out of his kingdom, he later receives word from one of his guards that the Prince was seen a causing a commotion in the village, as the guard claimed that he "acted like a nobleman and he had the royal ring!" Pete suddenly realizes that it was indeed the Prince he "booted out" and seizes another opportunity out of this. That night, after the king passes away, Pete finds the "phony prince" (Mickey), threatening the life of his dog, Pluto, unless Mickey follows his commands. In the village, he soon finds and captures the real Prince and takes him to the castle's dungeon to lock him up. On the day of the Prince's coronation, Pete plots to get Mickey crowned as king, though Mickey is still subservient to Pete's orders. His plan, however, is thwarted when the Prince suddenly appears in the throne room, having busted out of the dungeon and evading the guards with the help ofGoofy (Mickey's peasant friend) andDonald Duck (the Prince's valet). A sudden battle in the throne room (Mickey and the Prince vs. Pete; Goofy and Donald vs. the Weasel Guards) results in Pete's defeat, as Goofy's bumbling antics cause a chandelier to fall on the weasels, bundle them together, and send them rolling towards Pete. Pete, seeing this, tries to flee but is slowed down by his ripped-down pants (courtesy of the Prince's swashbuckling skills) and tripped by both the Prince and Mickey, causing him to get rolled over and caught on the chandelier, which sends him and his men rolling through a stained glass window and falling out of the castle.
Pete later appeared inA Goofy Movie and itssequel where he was still snooty and somewhat cankerous at times; despite this, he is shown in a much lighter tone as these movies are based onGoof Troop. He is Goofy's best friend and always confidant in the films.
In the 1999 direct-to-video filmMickey's Once Upon a Christmas Pete appears in the story "A Very Goofy Christmas" as Goofy's neighbor, being responsible for makingMax stop believing in Santa Claus by telling him that his existence is impossible. Later he appears in the story "Mickey and Minnie's Gift of the Magi" as Mickey's boss selling Christmas trees.
In the 2004 made-for-video animated filmThe Three Musketeers (with Mickey, Donald Duck, and Goofy playing the title roles), Pete again appeared under the name Peg-Leg Pete. He served as the main antagonist of the film. Here, he was the Captain of the Musketeers, aiming to take over France, with the help of his lieutenant,Clarabelle Cow, and the Beagle Boys. To do so, he must getPrincess Minnie out of the way, but it proves to be difficult for him, even when he hires the film's titular trio to be her bodyguards, believing they will not do a good job protecting her. He received his own "bad guy song", using the classic music pieceIn the Hall of the Mountain King.
Pete also made a non-speaking cameo appearance as a Toontown police officer in the very final scene ofWho Framed Roger Rabbit; he is viewed from the back, alongsideTom and Jerry'sSpike andHorace Horsecollar in security uniforms, just beforePorky Pig andTinker Bell close the movie.
Although Pete does not appear in the 1995Mickey Mouse shortRunaway Brain, the short's main antagonist, Julius, heavily bears his likeness. He is also voiced by Jim Cummings and has a peg leg, and when Mickey is trapped in his body he gains Pete's signature buck teeth to boot.
In the 2002 direct-to-video filmMickey's House of Villains, Pete and otherDisney villains' guest appearances fromHouse of Mouse are featured. He takes part in the musical number "It's Our House Now" when villains take over the club.
Pete makes a cameo appearance in the 2022 filmChip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, where he is seen riding theMagic Carpet and dressed asPrince Ali from the 1992 version ofAladdin while filming a bootleg movie of it.[31]
Pete is depicted as a recurring villain within theKingdom Hearts video game series. He was originally a steamboat captain, with Mickey Mouse as his deck hand (as they were seen inSteamboat Willie), and later the captain of the Royal Musketeers until his plans for a coup were foiled by Mickey (as they were seen inThe Three Musketeers). After Disney Castle was built in their world, with Mickey its new king, Pete began causing all sorts of mischief until he was banished to another dimension. He was subsequently freed byMaleficent, to whom he became indebted, and vowed to amass an army of Heartless, creatures born from the darkness of people's hearts, to return the favor.
