he evil poacher McLeach believes in "recycling"
endangered animals into purses and wallets. "Home, home on the
range, where the critters are tied up in chains. First I cut
through their sides, then rip off their hides, and tomorrow I'll do
it again ..." With his giant bushwhacker machine he tears up the
countryside, catching whatever wildlife falls into his snares. The
prize he covets most is the great golden eagle Marahute and her
eggs. He'll use every trick he knows to catch and kill her -- even
kidnapping a young boy in hopes of finding her secret
hideaway.
George C. Scott, the Oscar®-winning star of "Patton," voiced
the murderous McLeach. Key animator Duncan Marjoribanks
specifically asked for the plum assignment. Like many artists he
feels it's the villains -- not the heroes -- of a movie that give a
film its bite.
