5!Goodies
6
7[[folder:In general]]
8The Goodies are main characters from their respective literature works who also happen to be the protagonists of this film. They have been invited to the Palace to the Queen's party along with a lot of children. Since the Queen accidentally forgot her handbag, and the Baddies decided to get revenge on them by sabotaging the party the Goodies will have to team up and do two things: defeat any Baddie who stands in the way and help in locating the bag.
9----
10* ActualPacifist: Played straight for half of the Goodies, who would rather stay out of harm's way. The other half, however, is averted, such as Peter Pan sword-fighting with Captain Hook and Robin Hood threatening said Baddie.
11* BigDamnHeroes: The Goodies [[spoiler:immediately rush in and defeat Burglar Bill by starting a ChaseFight with him, use the KneelPushTrip method in hindering him, and Mr. Plod confiscates his SWAG back to reveal the MacGuffin the Goodies and the Queen were looking for the whole time]].
12* UsefulNotes/BritishAccents: All Goodies speak in accents from the British Isles, of course.
13* ColourCodedCharacters:
14** Red - Tracy Beaker
15** Blue - Horrid Henry, William Brown, Mary Poppins, The Queen
16** Green - Peter Pan, Robin Hood
17** White - Owl Keeper, Wendy
18** Yellow - White Rabbit, The Fat Controller
19** Black - Mr. Tibbs, Mary, Maid at Buckingham Palace, Mr. Plod
20* LightIsGood: Most Goodies wear bright colours, though there are some such as Mr. Plod, Mr. Tibbs, and the two maids who avert this trope.
21* PrimaryColorChampion: Most Goodies have red, blue, or yellow on them while other Goodies such as Robin Hood and Peter Pan are averted as they present secondary colours.
22* RagTagBunchOfMisfits: What they're considered compared to the regular people featured in the film as they're rather quirky.
23* SuperTeam: The Goodies are all part of their own team who have one recurring motive: find the Queen's handbag. However, their team doesn't have any particular name besides just "the Goodies".
24* UndyingLoyalty: To the Queen. They defeated the Baddies just so her party can start like it's supposed to.

30
31->'''Played by:''' Dani Harmer
32
33Tracy Beaker, who comes from ''Literature/TheStoryOfTracyBeaker'', is the main protagonist of the play who helps the Goodies locate the Queen's handbag along with her friends. Over the course of the plot, she helps other Goodies get out of the Baddies' traps and even assisted the Famous Five on searching the bag by checking if the audience has it. [[spoiler:At the end, she is tasked by presenting the bag to the Queen]].
34----
35* BerserkButton:
36** Never, by any means, give her a pinch on the arm. Even if you’re Mr. Plod.
37** Also when calling her handbag “plastic”.
38* BritishStuffiness: She has her moments though sometimes when she's really annoyed she snaps out of this.
39* DeadpanSnarker: She often shows a sassy side, usually by snarky remarks at the Child Catcher to ward him off and when Mr. Plod takes a look at her own handbag to make sure it isn't the Queen's.
40** One of her dry lines is "Like you live under a sink", referring to how the Child Catcher looks.
41** Another one is "I'm surprise you got any teeth".
42* DecoyProtagonist: One would expect either the Fat Controller, Sophie Dahl, or even Postman Pat to be the main protagonist by their early but major appearances in the film, but turns out they later fade into the background to make way for Tracy and the other Goodies to take their turns in the spotlight. Tracy gets an ''especially'' major role as a protagonist.
43* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: She uses this very well when she encounters the Child Catcher trying to lure her in with sweets, just by his appearance. She knows well that he’s a Baddie who’s not supposed to be trusted by any Goodie.
44* {{Fangirl}}: Hints to being a huge fan of the Queen by turning very excited and giggly when Mr. Plod escorts her to send the handbag back to Her Majesty.
45->"I'm going to meet the Queen?!"
46* OnlySaneWoman: Compared to the majority of other storybook characters, that is. She even admits that she is when she notes that everyone else was "in a sugar rush".
47** Not to mention she and her friends are some of the only characters that could blend in with London's modern environment.

He helps Tracy Beaker and Horrid Henry on their quest to find the handbag and [[spoiler:eventually helped to immobilize Burglar Bill alongside Horrid Henry, the White Rabbit, and the Lost Boys to retrieve the Queen's handbag]].
57----
58* BlueIsHeroic: Wears a blue and white striped cap.
59* BritishStuffiness: Presents himself as uptight when meeting Tracy Beaker and Horrid Henry.
60* NiceGuy: There isn't really that much to dislike about him. He's shown to be helpful towards Tracy Beaker and Horrid Henry after they unlock the door for him.

67->'''Played by:''' Sam Aston
68
69Horrid Henry, who comes from the [[Literature/HorridHenry titular books]], is a main protagonist who teams up with the Goodies to find the Queen's handbag. Despite his rude demeanour, he is part of the Goodies. [[spoiler:He even helps in defeating Burglar Bill by shoving him away and eventually capturing him]].
70----
71* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed. His uncouthness is lighter than the work he comes from but still contributes to defeating Baddies.
72* AlliterativeName: '''H'''orrid '''H'''enry
73* AloofAlly: He doesn't care so much about attending the shindig as much as looking for a television in the Palace, but can and will help the other Goodies if a Baddie gets in the way.
74* AntiHero: His personality may not mean it, but he is a Goodie. He helps the other Goodies with finding the handbag.
75* BlueIsHeroic: Well, despite how he seems, he is a Goodie and wears blue.
76* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is initially rude when he meets Tracy Beaker after she helps him out of the net trap and is pretty careless when looking around at the Palace, but eventually he helps the other Goodies with [[spoiler:Burglar Bill's defeat]].
77* TheKlutz: When finding a television at Buckingham Palace, he attempts to open a cabinet, causing it to shake and the [[PricelessMingVase vase atop it to fall off and shatter]].

80[[folder:Mr. Tibbs]]
81->'''Played by:''' Ronnie Corbett
82
83Mr. Tibbs, who comes from ''Literature/TheBFG'', is a Buckingham Palace butler who is a supporting character for this film and one of the first storybook characters to make an appearance in this film.
84----
85* DeadpanSnarker: He often makes snarky comments with the other characters.
86** After telling Mary that the Baddies have impulses instead of feelings, she asks him if they may hurt their impulses. He snarks that he’ll “hurt her impulse if they don’t get a move on”.

102
103->'''Played by:''' Creator/JonathanRoss
104
105Sir Topham Hatt (also known as the Fat Controller), who comes from ''Literature/TheRailwaySeries'', is amongst the first storybook characters to appear in the film, as the co-host of the children's party alongside the Queen. He only makes two appearances, however, as he debuts on-stage via Thomas the Tank Engine to introduce the audience to Sophie Dahl and at the end during the CurtainCall.
106
107Despite being called the Fat Controller in the UK dub of the show he comes from, he introduces himself as Sir Topham Hatt, his actual name and US alias, in this film.
108----
109* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Lampshaded. Compared to his look in the [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends television series he comes from]], he has a rather charming look, even sporting hair, which his counterpart lacks. He even admits to being in his "corpulent, ''sexy'' glory" in the books he appear in to both Sophie Dahl and the audience.
110* DeadpanSnarker: Has a rather dry sense of humour.
111** "Only in the one story, Sophie? It's a bit of a shame; did you, uh...you annoy him or something?"
112* FootballHooligans:
113** Hints to being one when he shares the news about winning against the Ecuadorians by a landslide in a football match.
114** "Never mind the football, ''this'' is going to be marvelous."
115* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: He fits the example well.
116* SharpDressedMan: Being the only Goodie who dresses like a true gentleman.
117* SpellMyNameWithAThe: That is, if you use his original UK name the Fat Controller.
118[[/folder]]

120[[folder:White Rabbit]]

123
124->'''Played by:''' Joe Pasquale
125
126The White Rabbit, who comes from ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'', is a supporting protagonist who lends Tracy Beaker and her friends his invitation card, which magically changes the recipient name from his to "Tracy Beaker & Friends". Near the end he [[spoiler:helps defeat Burglar Bill and retrieve the handbag by trying to catch him]].
127----
128* ColourMotif: Yellow.
129* LittleBitBeastly: Unlike most animal characters, who take on the appearance as costumed characters, the White Rabbit is a "face character". Only animalistic characteristics are his ears, nose, and tail.
130* MotorMouth: Has a tendency to ramble in a very fast pace.
131* VerbalTic: "I'm late, I'm late!"

178----
179* CopsAndDetectives: As the policeman of Toyland and a supporting character of the series he comes from, he is one of the Goodies.
180* DeadpanSnarker: Just like Tracy Beaker and Sir Topham Hatt, he has his snarky moments.
181* FairCop: Pretty much a given, especially since he's a part of the Goodies. He even outright said to Burglar Bill that he's a fair cop.

189
190The Prime Minister's Owl Keeper is a supporting protagonist whose job is to take care of the birds the Prime Minister owns and send them to Hogwarts in case of an emergency. He sends Blodwen, a snowy owl, to Hogwarts to send a letter for help to the House of Gryffindor.

198
199->'''Played by:''' Scarlett Strallen
200
201Mary Poppins, who comes from the [[Literature/MaryPoppins titular book]], is a supporting protagonist who appears much later in the film. She proves to the Baddies that there is no such thing as a children's story where evil wins in the end.
202----
203* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's just as charming as any other Goodie, but remember that even she doesn't tolerate the Baddies' unruliness.
204* ColourMotif: Black at first, representing the reserved and no-nonsense demeanour she puts on when she first appears. Later changes to blue, representing her more relaxed side during the ending song.
205* PaletteSwap: First appears wearing a black coat when she arrives on stage but is later swapped with a blue coat during the "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" musical number. She also drops her hat in that scene.
206* SugarAndIcePersonality: She is initially stern when she arrives on stage but shows a warmer side during the "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" segment.

212
213->'''Played by:''' Herself
214
215The late Queen UsefulNotes/ElizabethII plays an important role in the film, as being the one whose handbag goes missing and the host of the children's party, though she only appears on-stage at the ending. She is farsighted, as she needs her reading glasses to read her closing speech, and without them and the handbag they're housed in, the party cannot continue as planned.
216----
217* AnonymousRinger: She's only referred to as "the Queen" or "Her Majesty". TruthInTelevision as when somebody usually uses those terms, people will automatically recognise that it's Elizabeth II herself.
218* AsHerself: The Queen plays herself, of course. Quite a rare occurrence.
219* BigFancyCastle: She's the owner of one (actually multiple, especially Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace), which explains why one of her maids seem to be overwhelmed by the 700+ rooms and thousands of sofas of the Palace to look under when searching for her handbag.
220* BigGood: She is considered this to everyone as she is the one who hosted the children's garden party and that it's ''her'' handbag the Goodies will have to search for. Not to mention [[CaptainObvious she's the Queen]].
221* BlindWithoutEm: Downplayed. The Queen simply needs her glasses to read her speech, and she appears to have no trouble watching the stage-play from the Royal Box.
222* ColourMotif: Blue, possibly representing both royalty (as royal blue is a real shade, though the Queen wears sky blue instead in this film) and femininity.
223* CoolOldLady: She hosted a ''huge'' palace party for the children and invited ''characters from literature?'' Now an old lady with magic up her royal sleeve is a cool one. It's TruthInTelevision too.
224* FriendToAllChildren: Both in real life and in the film, that is. Why else wouldn't she host a shindig for the children in her garden?
225* TheHighQueen: Being one of the only two queens of the film, Her Majesty is the benevolent counterpart to the Pirate Queen. Especially that she has a soft spot towards children and that not even the Baddies have the guts to dislike or outright say they dislike her.
226* ModestRoyalty: Simply wears a matching blazer and dress with a flower print, her trademark brooch, a pair of pearl earrings and necklace, and black heels. Nothing too extravagant to show that she's the Queen.
227* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: A more downplayed example as she mostly remains in the background for most of the film, she has shown that she's always willing to listen to the Goodies...actually, pretty much all the literature characters. Also TruthInTelevision but is a lot more present in RealLife.
228* RedOniBlueOni: A comparison between two monarch characters, she's the Blue Oni to the Pirate Queen's Red Oni. Pretty coincidental since she wears blue in this film.
229* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Subverted. She presents this trope more in RealLife though in this film, prior to [[spoiler:getting her handbag back]], she's just shown watching the stage play from the Royal Box.
230* SilverVixen: She's quite the looker.
231* TrueBlueFemininity: Wears a blue blazer and matching dress throughout the film.
232* UniversallyBelovedLeader: Everyone absolutely ''loves'' Her Majesty. Even the Baddies don't have the nerves to outright dislike her and outright applaud with the Goodies when she [[spoiler:gets her handbag back, finds her reading glasses, and gets her speech.]]

240
241She is a supporting character of the film, albeit unnamed. She helps Mr. Tibbs in looking for the Queen's handbag but is overwhelmed by how many rooms of the palace it may be hiding in.
242----
243* ColourMotif: Black and white.
244* NervousWreck: Shows this when searching for Mr. Tibbs and thinking about how many bedrooms and sofas Buckingham Palace has when it comes to finding the handbag. She’s even hesitant to let Angelina perform her routine at the party because of all the dancers already backstage.
245* NoNameGiven: Her name isn't mentioned anywhere in the film, and she's only referred to as the "Maid at Buckingham Palace" according to Website/IMDb.
246* RedOniBlueOni: Is the Red Oni to the more composed Mary's Blue Oni.

252
253The corgis are the Queen's faithful pet dogs, specifically the Pembroke kind of Welsh corgi. Mr. Tibbs is seen holding them on leashes and he lets Cruella have them, much to her delight. Whilst Cruella ''tries'' to get their fur, she gets attacked by them and ends up passing them to her chaperone, [[TookALevelInKindness who denies the order and instead returns the dogs back to the Palace]].
254----
255* EvilDetectingDog: Lampshaded, though it only happens off-screen. They were being very aggressive and rough towards Cruella de Vil, causing her hair to be in a mess at the very least.
256* NationalAnimalStereotypes: They're Welsh corgis, one of the most prominent animal symbols of the UK.
257* PreciousPuppies: [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld Because...look at them!]]

280* PinkMeansFeminine: Just like in the media she hails from, she wears pink.
281* TheVoiceless: Surprisingly enough, averted. She is the only exception to the costumed characters of this production when it comes to not having any speaking role, but she only has one line.

298The Baddies are villains from their respective literature works who are the antagonists of this film. They make up a club known as the Baddies' Club. Due to the Palace not inviting them to the Queen's shindig, they all turn envious of the Goodies and sabotage the party. All their plans failed, though one- stealing Her Majesty's handbag, nearly succeeded.
299----
300* AncientEvil: Downplayed. However, some Baddies are antagonists from literature works published several decades ago, if not a century.
301* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: To the Baddies, being villainous is good.
302* CardCarryingVillain: All the Baddies know well they're villains.
303* ClassicVillain: All Baddies take on this trope in so many different ways.
304* DarkIsEvil: Almost all Baddies wear either black or a very dark shade of any colour. Averted with Gobbo and Sly, who wear brightly coloured garb.
305* EvenEvilHasStandards:
306** Implied; none of the Baddies seem to have a blatant dislike for Her Majesty, not even Burglar Bill or the Pirate Queen. They've only presented hatred for both the Goodies and the children attendees. Which is why they’re only stealing her handbag, spiking the cake, and blocking the Goodies from reaching the Palace, not straight-up Queen-napping.
307* EvilBrit: Being a British production, this is to be expected. All the Baddies speak in different kinds of accents of the British Isles with the exception of the Child Catcher and the Grand High Witch, who speak in German ones.
308* EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily: Despite having a hatred for the Goodies and children (and an ambiguous view on the Queen), all the Baddies get along with each other fine. Well, most of the time.
309* FatalFlaw: Each of the Baddies has one of this.
310** All the Baddies share one: envy. They all were so jealous of the Goodies being invited to the party instead of them that they were very ambitious on their plans, yet the Goodies were clever enough to outwit them all.
311** Cruella de Vil: {{Pride}}. As leader of the Baddies she thinks very highly of herself and brags about her animal fur scheme. Because of this she thought she could handle the corgis with ease…until she shows up with her hair in a mess after the dogs attacked her off-screen.
312** Grand High Witch: Wrath. She is one of the Baddies who actually have implicated violent intents, even towards children. She was set on turning all the children and Goodies into mice by having her potion be slipped into the cake, though in the end it ended up having no effect on them whatsoever.
313** Captain Hook: Just like the other Baddies, his major flaw is envy, but he's worse. Since he was rather jealous of Peter Pan as he was invited instead, he was set on not only barring him from entering the party, but the rest of the Goodies as well. He eventually fights with both Peter Pan and Robin Hood, and ends up being pursued by the Gruffalo, even losing his hat in the process.
314** Burglar Bill: Sloth. He was not fast enough for the security cameras to not catch him stealing the handbag.
315** The Child Catcher: Greed. He was set on capturing each and every child he could find in the Palace until Tracy Beaker came along, outsmarting him to not fall into one of his traps and freeing two of her fellow Goodies.
316* HotBlooded: Literally all the Baddies are passionate in what they do, especially the plots they all carry out. The Grand High Witch and Cruella especially so.
317* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The Baddies hinted that they are actually this when they planned for a sabotage, not because of actual revenge on the Goodies for not being invited like they are, but because they wanted to help out on the story for the children. Maybe the Child-Catcher and the Grand High Witch actually ''didn't'' despise them after all...
318** Later on they show adoration for Her Majesty by applauding for her (Yes, really!).
319* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: What some of the Goodies, especially Mr. Tibbs, believe the Baddies are: they have no feelings, but impulses instead.
320* LegionOfDoom: Downplayed. They're a whole group of villains but they don't plan on slaying the Goodies, rather sabotaging the party of the Queen they will attend by various means.
321* ObviouslyEvil: From the stark colours to the devious smirks to even the malicious tones to their dialogue. Who wouldn't think the Baddies are...well...Baddies?
322* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Compared to the other literature characters, who make up the lighthearted romp of a film, the Baddies ''can'' get dangerous and vile. For example, Cruella de Vil with her intent on [[CruellaToAnimals skinning the corgis for their fur]] and the Grand High Witch fantasizing about [[ChildEater boiling and frying kids]].
323* VillainTeamUp: Because they weren't invited, the Baddies teamed up to seek revenge on the Goodies.

331->'''Played by:''' Amanda Redman
332
333Cruella de Vil, who comes from ''Literature/TheHundredAndOneDalmatians'', is the main antagonist of the film, being the leader of the Baddies. She initiates the Baddies' plan to sabotage the Queen's shindig by having the idea to "invite themselves" in, though her only action is to take out the Queen's corgis that will get in the way.
334----
335* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Compared to her [[WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Disney]] [[Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians1996 counterparts]], that is. In this film she is much more faithful to her [[Literature/TheHundredAndOneDalmatians original novel depiction]], being much more refined in appearance. She wears quite a chic black-and-white print dress with a cape and has her hair tied into two buns and split into two colours: one half black and the other white. Think of a middle-aged Music/MelanieMartinez whenever you see this film's version of her.
336* AxCrazy: She's especially mad about turning animals into fur coats.
337* BigBad: She's the Baddies' leader, and she's also the main cause of all the conflicts that happen in the film.
338* BigBadDuumvirate: If you count the other Baddies.
339* ColourMotif: Black and white, which are also the colours of a Dalmatian.
340* CruellaToAnimals: Why, it's the Trope Namer herself. In this play, she fantasises so much about turning animals into clothing articles, and has even threatened to turn Jess and the corgis into them.
341* TheFashionista: It shows both in her appearance and personality. She wears quite a fabulous dress with polka-dot prints reminiscent of a Dalmatian and zebra stripes and she particularly has an interest in fashion that uses animal furs.
342* IncomingHam: "Darlings! Sorry I'm late! Actually, I'm not sorry at all."
343* ItsAllAboutMe: Though she isn't really that mean to the other Baddies, she's very selfish to the point where she goes way too far by taking out the corgis and threatening to skin them just so she can be at the royal party. She's also very proud of her fur obsession and implied collection.
344* TheLeader: Of the Baddies' Club.
345* WickedCultured: She's a villainess who dresses smartly. Though she prefers dressing smartly...in fur.

354Burglar Bill, who comes from the [[Literature/BurglarBill titular book]], is a secondary main antagonist of the film. His task in the sabotage is to sneak into Buckingham Palace and steal the Queen's handbag from the ballroom.
355----
356* AlliterativeName: '''B'''urglar '''B'''ill
357* BigBadDuumvirate: Along with Cruella de Vil, the Pirate Queen, the Child-Catcher, and the Grand High Witch.
358* ButtMonkey: More of a downplayed example, he is often subject to the other Baddies looking down at him, especially when he keeps saying that he'll get the handbag.
359* TheChewToy: Since he's a ButtMonkey Baddie, and that the audience always jeers at anyone who's part of the Baddies' Club. Especially when [[spoiler:he gets defeated thanks to the Goodies dogpiling on him and confiscating the handbag from him]], the audience cheers for the Goodies.
360->"So, let's hear it for the Baddies!"
361->(The audience jeers)
362* ColourMotif: Grey.
363* CoDragons: With the Grand High Witch, the Pirate Queen, and the Child-Catcher.
364* TheDragon: To Cruella de Vil, as he also plays a major role in sabotaging the party by stealing the handbag.

373The Grand High Witch, who comes from ''Literature/TheWitches'', is a secondary main antagonist of the film. Her task in the sabotage is to poison the birthday cake so that anyone who consumes a slice from it transforms into mice.
374----
375* AxCrazy: Especially when she fantasises over eating kids and [[ForcedTransformation turning them into mice]].
376* BigBadDuumvirate: Of course, since she also plays a major role as a villain.
377* ChildEater: Subverted. She does talk about it, however.
378* ChildHater: It isn't surprising when she listed all the things to do with kids after the Child Catcher said he despised them. She certainly agreed with him.
379* CoDragons: With Burglar Bill, the Child-Catcher, and the Pirate Queen.
380* ColourMotif: Black.
381* TheDragon: To Cruella de Vil, the leader of the Baddies' Club.
382* EvilWearsBlack: Wears a black dress, gloves, and heels.
383* {{Goth}}: Take a look at her and you won't be surprised.
384* GothGirlsKnowMagic: She's a witch with a gothic style who has experienced skills with magic.
385* PerkyGoth: She is pretty cheerful, but only for her devious wits.
386* RevengeIsADishBestServed: She planned to slip her potion into the Queen's cake, but when searching the palace there was no cake to begin with. So, after Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker bake one for the Goodies, she places her potion in it, but turns out her potion had no effect on them.
387* WickedWitch: Need we say more?
388* WouldHurtAChild: As hinted when she said to "[[EatsBabies boil their bones and fry their skin]]".

397The Pirate Queen is the leader of her gang of swashbuckling pirates and a secondary antagonist of the film. Her role in the sabotage is to have her and her pirates prevent the Goodies from reaching Buckingham Palace at the London Underground.

415The Child Catcher, who comes from ''Literature/ChittyChittyBangBang'', is a main antagonist of the film. He sneaks into Buckingham Palace to trap the child characters such as throwing an InescapableNet on top of Horrid Henry and locking William behind a door. He attempts to lure Tracy Beaker into a trap as well, but thanks to her clever but snarky wits he fails to do so.
416----
417* AdaptationalUgliness: Compared to his appearance in the film adaptation of his novel, that is. He appears to be much older in this film and even lacks a head of hair (think of [[Literature/HarryPotter Voldemort]] but with a nose and wearing a fancy hat and suit).
418* AlliterativeName: '''C'''hild '''C'''atcher
419* BaldOfEvil: He's malicious...and bald!
420* ChildHater: Lampshaded. He even captures children mainly because he despises them.

453Captain Hook, who comes from ''Literature/PeterPan'', is one of the supporting antagonists who fights against Peter Pan and Robin Hood on stage.
454----
455* ArchEnemy: Of Peter Pan.
456* BerserkButton: Never, under any circumstances, chant out "tick tock" continuously while he's within earshot. He'll think there's a crocodile on the loose.
457* TheBully: He often likes to use insults at the Goodies and he can put up a rough fight too.
458* ClassicVillain: He's the {{Foil}} to Peter Pan.
459* ColourMotif: Red.
460* EvilIsHammy: Though majority of the characters are very dramatic and somewhat exaggerated, Hook takes this up a notch.
461* FloweryInsults: Just like how Robin Hood is with his, Hook comes up with his own unique set of insults, including "leotard boy" and "monster's carbuncle".
462* HookHand: Part of his namesake.
463* IncomingHam: Now this is apparently a trend in this film.
464--> "Peter Pan invited without Captain Hook? Obesity and bunions, tis bad show!"
465* LaughablyEvil: He often throws ridiculous insults at the Goodies, especially Robin Hood. The audience often laugh at how flowery, clever, and somewhat original they are.

475He was the chauffeur for Cruella de Vil. Every time his boss would enter the hideout of the Baddies' Club, he would formerly introduce her to the other Baddies.
476----
477* ColourMotif: Grey.
478* DeadpanSnarker: Tends to joke about himself.
479* ExtremeDoormat: He even ''admits'' to being one. Cruella often pushes him around to the point where he then resigns and becomes nice to the corgis for once.
480* HeelFaceTurn: Later on he decides to resign and not take the fur from the corgis.
481** Doubles as a MookFaceTurn as he originally worked for Cruella.
482* NoNameGiven: He doesn't have a known name and is instead referred to either as Cruella's chauffeur or chaperone.

493----
494* BrightIsNotGood: Don't let their brightly-coloured garb fool you.
495* BumblingHenchmanDuo: They're a devious duo yet their expressions say otherwise.
496* FlatCharacter: They barely get any character development aside from just being there to capture Postman Pat.
497* {{Mooks}}: As minor Baddies who only make an appearance to do what Cruella tells them to do, they are this.
498* TheVoiceless: Both do not speak in the film.
