he longest-running Disney character, Pete
has been a villain from the early days of the "Alice Comedies"
in 1925, all the way to "A Goofy Movie" in 1995 -- a span of 70 years!
Also known as Peg Leg Pete and Black Pete, this gruff, catlike character
soon became better known as Mickey Mouse's, and later Donald Duck's, primary
nemesis. Since "Steamboat Willie," Pete has appeared in 31 cartoons. In
the earliest cartoons he had a peg leg, but that was dispensed with in his
later appearances when the animators found it too hard to handle in the
stories. |
