The formerly peg-legged Pete and reformed arch-nemesis of Mickey Mouse will join his newfound pals in Toontown in his first appearance in any Disney theme park.
A Disney character created before Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Rabbit will make his first meet-and-greet appearance at any Disney theme park in the world when the villain-turned-pal debuts at Disneyland.Mickey’s Toontown
reopens on Sunday, March 19 after a yearlong renovation of the kid-centric land at the Anaheim theme park. The gruff, cat-like anthropomorphic cartoon character was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1925 — three years before Mickey Mouse appeared on the scene in 1928 and two years before Oswald the Rabbit in 1927.
The former arch-nemesis to Mickey and later Donald, Pete has seen his demeanor softened and appearance changed over the decades by Disney artists.Known through the years as Peg Leg Pete, Black Pete and Bad Pete, the rival-turned-pal now tries his best to be thankful, warm and welcoming alongside his newfound friends on the “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” TV show available on the Disney+ streaming service.
But that wasn’t always the case. Pete was often pulling off elaborate schemes and using underhanded tactics to win people over while portrayed in positions of power.The clever, cunning and competitive Pete will make meet-and-greet appearances in Toontown when he’s not causing mischief around the cartoon neighborhood. Pete will often be paired with Goofy — since the duo share a rich cinematic history and many common interests like sports, fishing and cars.
