  • Peg Leg Pete is arguably one of the oldest Disney characters still in use today, the ultimate #MickeyMouse villain, and yet... where is he in the parks? We've have literally every character you could imagine as meet and greet opportunities, but yet the original Disney villain is absent. Its time to find the missing costume character: Pete!

    It’s so weird that Pete is as OG as Mickey, and he’s barely had a presence as a costume character. He’s included in set dressing all over, so maybe he’ll come into the parks as a character one day.

      sure your getting paid. sure its a job, but is it worth cooking your body from the inside? fuck no.
      and i hope anybody that gets those jobs moves on quickly. just because its disney doesnt mean its good.
      i bet the county in whatever district disney is located in has better benefits and insurance than employees at disney land.

    As someone who was 'friends' with taller/bigger characters back in the day I can assure you there are some horrifying failed Pete costumes in storage or a dump somewhere. When I worked there they had done two different Mock-up Pete costumes and both never were seen by the public and only exist as costume fitting photos. One had a cigar molded to the head, which was deemed too 'offensive' and the other was just all sorts of werid proportions trying to mix menacing with approachable. Another issue was the overall just weight of the costume and the lack of mobility when trying to interact compared to the rest of the toon gang.
    Hopefully the new costume technology we have today will make a Pete more accessible if they attempt the costume again.

    You know, it is rather strange that there isn't a Pete walk around at the Disney Parks and yet you have so many iconic Disney villains. You would think that a villain who is just as well known as the mascot of the company who happens to be his arch nemesis, its odd that while he has a bit if the presence at the parks there is no meet & greet for the guy. He's as important as Mickey & the gang. So what gives?

      I don't know, I'm no costume designer myself so what am I saying? x'D

      That's actually a really good point. I think that would be a great fit for him. Don't even worry about trying to figure out how he can move around, just make him stationary, kind of like how Mr. Potato Head. Pete might actually work best as some really cool, animatronic that you can interact with and talk to. That would be pretty fun and you wouldn't have to worry about his size or mobility being a problem for cast members.

    I have this theory. Since Pete is the OG Disney villain, Disney wants to keep this mystique around him that makes him seem genuinely evil. Cruella Deville and the Queen from Snow White will bite their lip and sign autographs. But not Pete. He is a genuinely pure evil character who passionately hates children and can not and SHOULD not be trusted around them.
    That's what I like to think anyway.

The fact that they made characters like Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow twice but never made a full-on Pete meet and greet despite the aspects of tenure and being a fan favorite baddie has confounded me, especially since Disney Parks always love to do special meet and greet looks and Pete being the most flexible out of the villains in terms of that.

    I've been thinking about this subject for a long time. Actually, a really long time. I remember when the costumes for Mickey's 90th birthday came out and everyone (well mostly) had an outfit. First, it got me to thinking why they don't include more of Mickey's pals in the lineup, like Daisy or Clarabel or Horace. But then I thought about another character who's really prevalent in Mickey's cartoons but I couldn't remember having a presence in the parks. Of course, that character is Pete. I hope that someday he gets his due. Heck, if they can have Oswald, Ortensia, Clara Cluck, Clarice, and other random characters from Mickey's universe that people aren't generally going to remember - surely they can have Mickey's villain: Pete... also they might as well throw Mortimer in there while they're at it.

    Spent a week of training becoming "friends with the characters" and just wanted to say that Brer Bear's head is huge, heavy, and very unwieldy. Imagine, if you will, a cylinder around your head balancing a rock the shape of Goofy's head on top, and that is how I would make a Brer Bear costume since none exist (wink). Not much going on up there. But my biggest regret was not spending more time with my favorite character Baloo. That being said I would love to see an evolution of Baloo in the parks!

    Okay, I had no idea Pete was a cat. I guess he's as much a cat as Goofy is a dog. I will say, Pete has made appearances in so many Disney shows. He's been a foil to pretty much every classic Disney character. It's crazy that he doesn't have a costume in the parks.

    Great video I've often wondered why Pete never been seen in parks. Lol the random lady at 9:30 was Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet followed by the Brazilian lady from Three Caballeros. Yes very random to have her but still cool they featured her. fun fact she is Carmen Miranda's sister and until she was in that parade I never knew the character was named Yaya.

      Exactly, Horace is definitely one example of a character who isn't seen as much in media but has a better presence in the parks than Pete. He's currently in Stitch’s Interplanetary Beach Party Blast at Disneyland with Clarabelle (who also doesn't make a lot of appearances in media either and yet she's getting another new costume as one of the Sanderson sisters!)

      ​@@DeltaFRFX They definitely neutered his evilness in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, to the point that he went from being a mild nuisance/prankster to being a jolly guy who was just another friend in the gang. Maybe little kids would get confused if they saw him playing a meaner role at Disney parks? But I don't really think that's an excuse not to have him there, he is supposed to be Mickey's arch-nemesis in general.
