22
23Not the oldest Disney character but the one who made Disney characters a thing. Easily the most recognizable of the cast, often depicted as a good-natured, optimistic fellow, but also a determined and often feisty fighter.

34
35The EnsembleDarkHorse, a hot-tempered waterfowl who often ended up being the ButtMonkey. However, he surpassed whatever fighting Mickey ever did to be the gang's designated TheBerserker / LightningBruiser. Although Mickey remains the face of the company, Donald is arguably the true moneymaker as far as long-term commercial success (Walt even once called him "the [[Creator/ClarkGable Gable]] of our stable"), spawning his own little corner of the Disney Universe that expands towards comics, cartoons, and video games.

58
59Mickey's love interest, who often took on the role of a DamselInDistress in the early shorts. It's a characterization that still goes, but she gets her own hero'ing from time to time these days, too. Her commonly heard name is short for "Minerva".

92[[AC:First appearance: ''Alice Solves the Puzzle'', 1925]]
93->Voiced in English by: Creator/WaltDisney (1928); Billy Bletcher (1933-1960, ''Get a Horse!''); John [=MacLeash=] (''Bell Boy Donald''; Will Ryan (''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'', ''Mickey's Christmas Carol'', ''Get a Horse!''); Arthur Burghardt (''The Prince and the Pauper''); Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}} (1991-present).
94->Voiced in Latin American Spanish by: José Manuel Rosano (1940's-1950's); Francisco Colmenero (1960's-present); Guillermo Romano (1990's, alternate Los Angeles dub)
95
96On the crossroad of Disney's "oldest characters" and "popular character", Pete is the winner by far, predating Mickey by years while being a consistently active character from 1925 to today. He's a large anthropomorphic cat who causes trouble for whoever crosses his path (and vice versa).

106Donald's mischievous nephews. Sometimes paired with Uncle Scrooge instead.
107----
108* BratsWithSlingshots: Prevalent in the earlier shorts
109* BrattyHalfPint: Not so much nowadays, but back then, this was one of their defining traits.
110* {{Canon Immigrant}}s: The trio first appeared in a 1937 storyline in Donald's newspaper comic strip before appearing in animation in 1938.
111* ChasteToons: One of the most famous examples (they're Donald's nephews, not his sons).
112* ColorCodedCharacters: An easy way to remember which one is which is to remember that red is the brightest '''hue''' and blue is the color of '''dew''', which leaves Louie as the green one (and leaves are green).
113* OneSteveLimit: Averted with Louie Duck and Louie the Mountain Lion, even though they don't appear together in any cartoon aside from "Lion Around".
114* ParentalAbandonment: Donald is canonically their legal guardian.
115* RiddleForTheAges: Their first appearance establishes them as the children of Donald's sister, Della "Dumbella" Duck, but in eighty years there has been no clue to the identity of their father.
116* ScoutOut: As part of the Junior Woodchucks.
117* ThePrankster: Their earliest characterization is as a trio of mischievous little brats who love to play tricks.

119
120[[folder: Scrooge [=McDuck=]]]
121!! Scrooge [=McDuck=]
122[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2022_01_23_163000.png]]
123->Debut: ''ComicBook/ChristmasOnBearMountain'' (comic book), 1947
124->Voiced by: Clarence Nash (1943); Dal [=McKennon=] (1960); Bill Thompson (1966); Creator/AlanYoung (1974-2016); Will Ryan (1986); Creator/PatFraley (Young); Creator/JohnKassir (2016-present); Creator/DavidTennant (2017-present); Creator/EricBauza (''WesternAnimation/LegendOfTheThreeCaballeros''); Creator/EnnReitel (''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'')
125
126Donald's super-rich, adventurous uncle. Better known for his acclaimed [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse comic book series]] and the ''Franchise/DuckTales'' animated series.
127----
128* BreakoutCharacter: He was introduced as just another one-story family member, but he took off in popularity to the point he not only became a recurring character in Donald's comics, but became the ''star'' of his own comics and cartoons!
129* CanonImmigrant: The character was mostly seen only in comics until the 1980s.
130* CoolOldGuy: He's an ancient duck who has an incredible history, having traveled all over the world and worked all manner of jobs in order to build his vast business empire. Even in the present day, he thinks nothing of going on epic adventures to find lost treasure.
131* DeadpanSnarker: Like his grand-nephew, Donald, Scrooge is notorious for his dry, sarcastic quips.
132* MeaningfulName: Scrooge. He's as money-pitching and stingy as you would expect from someone with that name.
133* MoneyFetish: He [[PooledFunds swims in money]].
134* MrViceGuy: The trope was, in fact, originally named "[=McDuck=]" (now a redirect to ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse.)
135* MyGreatestFailure: The one time in his life he made money dishonestly (driving natives from their village). This act earned him endless guilt, as well as a zombie stalker.
136* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: Scrooge [=McDuck=] may be an avaricious, greedy JerkAss, but he has an ironclad code of honor and believes in always making his money fairly and squarely.
137* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: A riff on Scottish-American steel magnate and industrialist, Andrew Carnegie.
138* TheScrooge: Obviously, just as much as his comic book counterpart.
139* SelfMadeMan: And he did it by being sharper than the sharpies and smarter than the smarties, doing it fair and square.
140* SpinOff: ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987''.
141* UnclePennybags: Zigzagged. Scrooge's funds make him the natural source of wealth when his family really needs it... and they had better really, ''really'' need it, because he won't part with a dime unless he absolutely has to!
142[[/folder]]

144[[folder: Ludwig Von Drake]]
145!! Ludwig Von Drake
146[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2022_01_23_163100.png]]
147->Debut: "An Adventure in Color" (first episode of "[[Series/WaltDisneyPresents Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color]]"), 1961
148->Voiced by: Creator/PaulFrees (1961-1986); Creator/CoreyBurton (1987-present)
149
150Another of Donald's uncles. A scientist with countless expertise in numerous subjects.
151----
152* AbsentMindedProfessor: This is how he was depicted in ''Wonderful World of Color''. While he is considered a genius, he tends to stray off topic and forget what he's talking about, as evidenced by his constant use of the phrase "What am I saying?" This trait is mainly downplayed in his current incarnations, although "Raiders of the Doomsday Vault!" from ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' gives a nod to this trait when he forgets where he put a paper. A lot of this was a case of [[HarpoDoesSomethingFunny ad-libbing]] from Frees.
153* AdaptationalJerkass: While mostly portrayed as a NiceGuy in most media he appears in, he's notably more egocentric and mean in both ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseWorks'' and ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse''.
154* HerrDoktor: He is a scientist, professor, and doctor from Austria.
155* InsufferableGenius: To Mickey on an episode of ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse''.
156* PorkyPigPronunciation: He would often do this in his ''Wonderful World of Color'' days.
157-->"You should see my chrysanthe— You should see my chrysanthem— You should see my petunias!"
158-->"He's a phenomen— a phenomen— He's made-up!"
159-->"Now it's time for some calisthen— calisthen— You know, exercise!"
160* TheProfessor: Whilst precisely ''what'' scientific studies he knows depends on the story, he's always presented as a very intelligent, well-educated individual with a background in some scientific field or another. He's been a mechanical engineer, a psychiatrist, a biologist...
161* SmallNameBigEgo: Walt had to introduce him in his debut appearance with a few note cards.

164[[folder: Max Goof (and Goofy Jr.)]]
165!! Max Goof (and Goofy Jr.)
166[[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maxhappy.gif]]
167->Debut: ''Fathers Are People'', 1951 as Goofy Jr., and ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'', 1992 as Max.
168->Voiced by: Creator/BobbyDriscoll (1951-1960); Dana Hill (''Goof Troop''); Creator/PamelaAldon (''The Spirit of Mickey''); Creator/JasonMarsden (1995-Present)
169
170Goofy's son, who originally appeared with red hair in the 1950s, but was later redesigned to better resemble his dad in the 1990s. Starred in ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' and its big-screen sequel, ''Westernanimation/AGoofyMovie''.
171
172For a comprehensive list of tropes applying to Max, see his entry on the [[Characters/GoofTroop Goof Troop character page]].
173----
174%%* BrattyHalfPint: Goofy Jr., at least. Downplayed with Max.
175* FurryEarDissonance: Goofy Jr. doesn't have ''any'' ears. Averted with Max though.
176* SameCharacterButDifferent: Goofy Jr. and Max are the same character, but completely different in appearance and behavior. For starters, Max is much more of a RoundedCharacter.
177[[/folder]]
178
179[[folder: Chip 'n Dale]]
180!! WesternAnimation/ChipAndDale
181[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2022_01_23_163255.png]]
182->Debut: ''Private Pluto'', 1943.
183->Chip voiced by: Norman Swank-Haviland (1943-1960); Jim [=MacDonald=] (1943-1960); Creator/TressMacNeille (1989-present); Matthew Geczy (''Chip n Dale: Park Life''); Creator/JohnMulaney (live-action/CGI ''Film/ChipNDaleRescueRangers''); Jan Johns (Season 2 of ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseFunhouse'')
184->Dale voiced by: Dessie Flynn (1943-1960); Creator/CoreyBurton (1989-present); Kacy Chase (''Chip n Dale: Park Life''); Creator/AndySamberg (live-action/CGI ''Film/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'')
185
186A pair of chipmunks who frequently pester Donald and sometimes Pluto (and Goofy and Mickey on at least one occasion each) during their pursuit of storing food. See also ''Characters/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' for tropes that refer to them specifically in said cartoon.
187----
188%%* AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering
189* BreakoutCharacter: Enough for them to appear in a few shorts of their own and later their own animated series.
190* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Dale tends to be prone to daydreaming or acting silly, compared to the smarter, more no-nonsense Chip.
191* DivergentCharacterEvolution: In the earliest shorts, Chip and Dale were identical in looks and mannerisms. Eventually, Dale gained his red nose, buck teeth, goofier personality, and eventually a completely different voice to set him apart from Chip.
192** Modern art of them often gives Dale a lighter fur color than Chip.
193* HeterosexualLifePartners: However, some comic stories indicate that they're brothers, sharing the same relatives.
194* KarmicTrickster: In the shorts where Donald is the one who starts trouble.
195* LoveableRogue: More often just after food and shelter, they do have a mischievous side however.
196* LoveTriangle: With Clarice in ''Two Chips and a Miss'' and Gadget in ''Rescue Rangers''.
197* ScrewballSquirrel: Chipmunks, precisely, but they're still small rodents with lots of energy and a great love of mischief and prank-pulling.
198* SpinOff: ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers''.
199* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Acorns, or nuts in general. Though their discovery of peanuts certainly turned them off of acorns in the short ''Working For Peanuts''.

202[[folder: Clarabelle Cow]]
203!! Clarabelle Cow
204[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/imagescah2e6nx.jpg]]
205->Debut: ''Plane Crazy'', 1928
206->Voiced by: Marcellite Garner (1930); Elvia Allman (1930-1990); Creator/AprilWinchell (1990-present)
207
208A cow who occasionally hangs out with Mickey and company. Clarabelle is good friends with Minnie and Daisy and is sometimes played as the love interest to either Horace Horsecollar or Goofy.
209----
210* AnthropomorphicShift: She was just a regular cow in the earliest Mickey Mouse cartoons. She became anthropomorphic in the 1930 short ''The Shindig''.
211* AscendedExtra: When more popular characters like Goofy and Donald started joining the supporting cast, Clarabelle started to fall more and more by the wayside. In recent years however, she's become a more recurring character in later works, sometimes acting as the Goofy to Minnie and Daisy's Mickey and Donald.
212* CuteButCacophonic: She has a shrill singing voice.
213* CuteClumsyGirl: She's a sweethearted girl, but she's very prone to fits of clumsiness, often forgetting just how much taller she is than most of the cast. It's one of the traits that sometimes sees her interpreted as "The Female Goofy".
214* DistaffCounterpart: Whilst she has her unique failings, such as her love of gossip and her very girly nature, she's basically the female counterpart of Goofy and Horace Horsecollar, in that she's a tall, lanky, clumsy [[TheDitz ditzy]] character. The similarity becomes especially notable in post-2000s depictions, where she is usually made into part of "The Girl Trio" alongside Minnie and Daisie.
215* GossipyHens: On ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse", she has a recurring segment called "Main Street Gossip."
216* InterspeciesRomance: With Horace Horsecollar, and sometimes Goofy.
217* LoveTriangle: Implied between her, Horace and Goofy.
218* PairTheDumbOnes: Whether she's with Horace or Goofy, she's notable in that she's just as much TheDitz as her boyfriend is. Whilst she may be [[WomenAreWiser smarter than he is]], it's never by much... [[TooCleverByHalf and never is she as smart as she thinks she is]]!
219* {{Tomboy}}: Well, compared to Minnie and Daisy, anyway. In the newer cartoon shorts, Clarabelle is the only one of the three girls that is seen wearing ''pants''.
220[[/folder]]
221
222[[folder: Horace Horsecollar]]
223!! Horace Horsecollar
224[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/horace_horsecollar_7.gif]]
225->Debut: ''The Plow Boy'', 1929
226->Voiced by: Creator/WaltDisney (1930); Billy Bletcher (1933); Creator/BillFarmer (1990-present); Hal Smith (''GetAHorse'')
227
228One of Mickey's friends, Horace is a cheerful know-it-all horse. He used to tag along on Mickey's adventures in early comic strips before Goofy took his place. Often paired with Clarabelle Cow.
229----
230* AnthropomorphicShift: He was just a regular horse in the earliest Mickey Mouse cartoons. Like Clarabelle, became anthropomorphic in the 1930 short, ''The Shindig''.
231* AscendedExtra: When more popular characters like Goofy and Donald started joining the supporting cast, Horace started to fall more and more by the wayside. In recent years however, he's become a more recurring character in later works, but not as much as Clarabelle.
232* DemotedToExtra: He was a big part of the ensemble cast of early Mickey Mouse cartoons but got sidelined when other characters like Donald and Goofy took over the spotlight.
233* {{Foil}}: Essentially, to Goofy--instead of being a simpleton who is constantly breaking stuff, he's a [[KnowNothingKnowItAll faux intellectual]] who is constantly fixing or building things.
234* HateSink: {{Parodied|Trope}} during his role as [[Literature/UncleTomsCabin Simon Legree]] in "Mickey's Mellerdrammer", which provides the page image. His costumed appearance is so ugly [[MirrorCrackingUgly a mirror shatters from it]]; the audience boos at him whenever he shows up on stage; and when he begins to whip Uncle Tom (played by Mickey Mouse himself in {{Blackface}}), [[ProducePelting they start pelting him with all kinds of rotten fruit]] even when [[MeanCharacterNiceActor he stops playing the character for a curtain call]].
235* InterspeciesRomance: With Clarabelle Cow.
236* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Horace has a very high opinion of his intellect and likes to put on airs of being an intellectual, but anyone who listens to him quickly realizes he's nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is.
237* MrFixit: Whilst he's nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is, he ''does'' have a legitimate talent for fixing things and tends to be presented as a very capable handyman.
238* MirrorCrackingUgly: While he isn't normally unpleasant to look at, his costumed appearance as [[Literature/UncleTomsCabin Simon Legree]] in "Mickey's Mellerdrammer" gives him the looks to match [[HateSink his role's personality]] thanks to the permanent sneer on his face. This ugly appearance causes a backstage mirror to break when he snarls into it.
239* NotActuallyTheUltimateQuestion: Used as a running gag with him on ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse''.
240* PairTheDumbOnes: Part of the reason he and Clarabelle are presented together is because they're both equally dumb, if in different ways.
241* SmallNameBigEgo: Horace is a showoff who loves getting attention, and claims to be a brilliant intellectual, but the truth is he's actually quite dumb when it come to anything other than fixing or building stuff.

262[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2022_11_05_171047353.png]]
263->Debut: ''Trolley Troubles'', 1927.
264->Voiced by: Bill Nolan (1929); Pinto Colvig (1929-1930); Creator/MickeyRooney (1931-1932); Creator/JuneForay (1943); Creator/FrankWelker (VideoGame/EpicMickey series); Creator/DavidErrigoJr (''VideoGame/DisneySpeedstorm'')
265
266A rabbit Walt Disney created in 1927 as his first animated star, but ended up losing to Universal after a contract dispute. He has since been reacquired by the Disney company.
267----
268%%* AntiHero
269* CanonImmigrant: Sort of. He predates Mickey and friends being the ''first'' classic Disney character. However, Disney soon lost the rights to Oswald which leads to the creation of Mickey in the first place. Decades later Disney got back the rights for Oswald which led to him being retroactivly added to the universe of Mickey and his friends, with ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'' even revealing he's Mickey's halfbrother.
270* TheCasanova: Another one of his distinguishing traits from Mickey, is that he's much more *ahem* romantically inclined. Such as his dozens of children in ''Poor Papa'' or interrupting a duel with a knight to make out with his girlfriend in ''Oh What a Knight!'' He's also had more of a revolving door of love interests than Mickey and Minnie's rather steady relationship.
271* ChasteToons: Averted. He had two adopted sons under Universal, and he has a whole lot more kids in ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'' (to his dismay, they look up to their "uncle" Mickey).
272* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: And [[VideoGame/EpicMickey attempted leadership in Wasteland]] ever since.
273* CrazySurvivalist: Part of his portrayal in Epic Mickey.
274* DemotedToExtra: He was the star of his own shorts but since his return to Disney Studios he had a big role in ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'', but isn't used much after that outside of [[TheCameo small cameos and easter eggs]].
275* DivergentCharacterEvolution: The early notes on the Warren Spector interpretation of the character portrays him as more paranoid than Mickey, and the "Lucky" part of his name as intentionally ironic as he's TheWoobie of western animation as a whole.
276* ExpyCoexistence: Mickey was originally created as an {{Expy}} for Oswald once Creator/WaltDisney lost the rights for the latter. With Disney now having the rights for Oswald back, Mickey and Oswald can used together (most notably in ''Epic Mickey'').
277* InterspeciesRomance: One of his early girlfriends was sometimes named Kitty, and she was a... well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin her name kinda gives it away]], doesn't it?
278** She is featured in Epic Mickey as "Ortensia."
279* IronicNickname: It probably wasn't intentional at the time of his creation, but he's rather unlucky.

287----
288* ArtEvolution: She started out as Oswald in a dress, then morphed into a borderline FemmeFatale before vanishing.
289%%* BarefootCartoonAnimal
290* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Even by the standards of Oswald's cast. Thus far all of the other handful of Oswald's pals have resurfaced except for her (even [[CanonImmigrant Toby freaking Bear]] and Ortensia's father have resurfaced). However, she returned in ''VideoGame/DisneySpeedstorm'' as a Crew Member subverting this trope.
291* DistaffCounterpart: But became more different later.
292* DivergentCharacterEvolution: She became less like Oswald as the series progressed.
293* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Though she got a top towards the end of her tenure.
294* HospitalHottie / FlorenceNightingaleEffect: In ''Great Guns''.
295* PlayingHardToGet: In her later appearances.
296* RelationshipResetButton: In the early shorts, she and Oswald are married with a bazillion kids. Later he's just trying to get her attention and their kids vanish into thin air until ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'' (where they're credited as being Ortensia's kids).

379* DistractedByTheSexy: In ''The Tortoise and the Hare'', Max is invited by four female bunnies to spend some time with them mid-race. Toby is invited too, but he politely declines. Max spends too much time showing off to catch up with Toby timely and loses as a result.
380* LastSecondShowoff: He tried this to still win the race in ''The Tortoise and the Hare''. He actually came very close and could've won were it not for Toby's ability to stretch his neck.

392* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Followed by DistractedByTheSexy. In ''The Tortoise and the Hare'', Toby is invited alongside Max by four female bunnies to spend some time with them mid-race. Max accepts, but Toby politely declines, which ultimately is the reason he wins. In ''Toby Tortoise Returns'', however, Toby is distracted by Jenny Wren's when he's knocked in her lap during a boxing match.

402* HonorableElephant: A youthful one, but non-violent even when violence is done to him and well-mannered. He even has a GenialGiraffe, Joe Giraffe, as EccentricMentor.
403* IAmWhatIAm: Elmer learns to accept his nose when it proves useful in taking down a fire and thereby save Tillie's life when even professional firefighters failed. To punctuate the point, he couldn't have done it without Joe Giraffe and three pelicans, who helped by using their own physiques that were target for ridicule.

412* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: She wears a blue skirt with white bloomers with no shirt or shoes.

426* CanonImmigrant: From previous Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon feature film ''Pinocchio''.

455A Brazilian parrot.
456----
457* BarefootCartoonAnimal: In his comic book series, he loses the gloves and gains a pair of blue pants that are slightly torn at the bottom in a way that makes it look like they just painted his lower body blue. This appears to have been done not because they find the idea of a pantsless character offensive, but [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead so that his design implements all the colours of the Brazilian flag, not just the Green and Yellow]].

459* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: He only wears a hat, suit, and gloves (without pants) in ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros'' and ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse''.
460* MotorMouth: A RunningGag in his first few appearances has him rapidly run through various phrases in Portuguese, before realizing the person he's talking to can't understand him and [[TranslationYes translating as something simple in English.]]

494----
495* AffablyEvil: He's actually rather friendly to Mickey until he, Donald and Goofy try to trick him into turning into a fly so they can kill him.
496* BewareTheSillyOnes: Upon first being seen, Willie comes off as a goofy shapeshifter with a fondness for pink bunnies and an inability to pronounce the word "pistachio." But as soon as something stirs his ire, he'll not hesitate to crush it to death with a two-story tall morning star.
497* CarryABigStick: Willie has a morning star on hand in his introduction, though he magically turns it into a beach ball to play with. Once he sees Mickey and company escaping with the Harp, Willie tries to crush them to death with the morning star.
498* EvilSoundsDeep: He normally speaks in a SimpletonVoice, but when he shifts to being genuinely menacing, Willie's voice dips down into a low growl.
499* IAmGreatSong: He arrives to his own castle singing a little ditty about how he's "a most amazing guy".
500* OurGiantsAreBigger: And more powerful as well.
501* PsychopathicManchild: Willie is a ditzy, carefree sort who just does what he wants. He's also a violent thief that doomed Happy Valley to desolation because he wanted the Harp to sing him to sleep.
502* SmarterThanYouLook: As much of a doofus as he is, he doesn't fall for Mickey's attempt to trick him into [[TrickingTheShapeshifter turning into a fly so the heroes can squash him]], and quickly spots that they were trying to fool him.
503* SwallowTheKey: Subverted. After locking Donald and Goofy in a chest, Willie is about to swallow his key, but decides to just put it in his right brest pocket instead.
504* TokenHuman: While [[DownplayedTrope he isn't technically a human]], he's the only character in ''Mickey's Christmas Carol'' who looks like one and isn't an anthropomorphic animal of some sort.
505* TookALevelInKindness: In his post ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'' appearances (''Mickey's Christmas Carol'', ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'', etc) he's generally depicted as a lot friendlier, and displays none of the selfish and violent behaviour he used to.
506* VoluntaryShapeshifting: His magic can let him, in his own words, "change [himself] into the darnedest things." He can freely change his size and become various animals.

525
526A tall, smooth-talking mouse who is Mickey's antagonistic rival, usually for Minnie's affections.
527----
528* AbhorrentAdmirer: While Minnie seems to be very smitten with him in his debut cartoon ''Mickey's Rival'', his attraction for her seems mostly one-sided in both ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseWorks'' and ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse''.
529* AscendedExtra: He only appeared proper in "Mickey's Rival" during the classic theatrical run. The comics and revival cartoons took to using him as a recurring antagonist however.
530* TheBusCameBack: While occassionally showing up in the comics, Mortimer didn't show up in Western animation after his debut short ''WesternAnimation/MickeysRival'' until 1999, when he appears in a small role in ''Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas'' and than being frequently used in both ''Mickey Mouse Works'' and ''House Of Mouse''.
531* ButtMonkey: He's portrayed as a way more unpopular guy in ''House Of Mouse'' than in his original cartoon, being often mocked and humiliated by the other characters.
532* CanonImmigrant: Was inspired by an early antagonist attracted to Minnie in the comics. "Mr Slicker" was redesigned and dubbed "Mortimer" for the theatrical short "Mickey's Rival". He reappeared in his animated form in later comics.
533* CasanovaWannabe: The House Of Mouse-episodes "Goofy's Valentine Date" and "Ladies' Night" show Mortimer trying to woo the female characters in the clubhouse - with no success at all.
534* CharacterCatchphrase: "Ha cha cha!"
535* DirtyCoward: In ''Mickey's Rival'', where he attempted to impress Minnie by fighting a bull - while it was ''behind'' a gate. The second it got loose, he got outta dodge and left Minnie to fend for herself against it.
536* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In his "Mr Slicker" debut, he donned the same classic design as Mickey and Minnie. In "Mickey's Rival" he is given a skin tone and sclera, thus making him the first of the Disney rodents to be adapted into the contemporary design format. The 2013 shorts go back to his comic design but with his finalised attire and personality.
537* IHaveManyNames: He also went by the name Montmorency Rodent (pronounced "Rodawn") in 1941.
538* TheHeckler: Constantly shooting snide comments about the show in WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse, even as a RunningGag in episodes not about him.
539* ItsAllAboutMe: In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'', he writes a boastful song about himself for Minnie, Daisy, and Clarabelle to sing. They don't appreciate this.
540* JerkAss: An arrogant guy who gives Mickey and friends crap whenever he shows up.
541* MeaningfulName: Mortimer was a [[DevelopmentGag rejected name for Mickey himself.]]
542* TheRival: To Mickey, of course.
543* RodentsOfUnusualSize: He's even more of an example of this than [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse Mickey]] and [[WesternAnimation/MinnieMouse Minnie]].
544* ShoutOut: For his House of Mouse appearances only in which Maurice La Marche voiced him, his catchphrase was "Ha-cha-cha.", a catchprase commonly associated with Jimmy Durante.

557* DependingOnTheWriter: Is he a LargeHam? Is he a CardCarryingVillain?
558* DogFace: When Unmasked.
559* EvilIsHammy: Sometimes (see "Depending On The Writer" above)
560* {{Flanderization}}: Later appearances present his cloak as his actual body, ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' even had him with a mouth.
561* GentlemanThief: To some degree, though gentleman might be pushing it.
562* TheUnreveal: His face is never really seen. But Subverted in his first appearance, where he ''is'' unmasked, having a thin mustache and a gaunt face according to Website/ThatOtherWiki, apparently, his appearance was also based on [[spoiler: ''Walt Disney himself'']].
563** A lot of other writers seem to have {{Retcon}}ned his true face as being unknown. In one story it is vaguely implied that his real identity is in fact [[spoiler:Goofy,but even then it was an instance of being [[JackTheRipoff Goofy being a copycat]] coupled with amnesia]].
564** ComicBook/WizardsOfMickey inverts it, with the Blot never using the cloaked diguise until later [[spoiler:though it's more him becoming an inky monster similar to the approach in ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'']]
565* VillainDecay: In some of his later appearances Blot became rather goofy.

570[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_mad_doctor_xxx.png]]
571[[AC:First appearance: ''WesternAnimation/TheMadDoctor'', 1933]]
572->Voiced by: Billy Bletcher (1933); Dave Wittenberg (Epic Mickey); Jim Meskimen (Epic Mickey 2)
573
574A mad scientist who wanted to see what happens if you put a dog's head on a chicken's body. Fortunately, he was just a dream Mickey had. The character was originally known as Doctor XXX, but for obvious reasons that name has been abandoned.
575----
576* AdaptationNameChange: The name "Doctor XXX" precedes the meaning of [[UsefulNotes/MediaClassifications XXX as a media classification]]. In modern times that's a definite case of UnfortunateNames, which is why ''Epic Mickey'' established him under the new name "The Mad Doctor".
577* AllJustADream: As per his original short, but that hasn't stopped any later writers from writing him as if he's real anyway, his first reappearance being the Italian comic story ''"Topolino e i casi "X" "Y" "Z""''. His reappearance in ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'' is justified in that it's meta-fiction.
578* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Planned to attach Pluto's head to a chicken's body.
579* BaldOfEvil: He has hairy eyebrows, a mustache, and a long beard, but his scalp is completely bald.
580* BeardOfEvil: He has a long black beard, along with a long black mustache.
581* CardCarryingVillain: In the games, where he insists on being called ''Mad'' Doctor.
582* DastardlyWhiplash: He has the stereotypical curly villainous mustache.
583* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Since his original name would now be a case of UnfortunateNames, everyone just calls him the Doctor or the Mad Doctor.
584* EvilEyebrows: He has thick, large eyebrows.
585* EvilIsHammy: Almost every one of his lines are done like a musical number, even prompting Oswald to continue with one of his songs.
586* {{Expy}}: One of Disney's most successful characters in terms of other characters he inspired. In 1933, [[DecompositeCharacter Decomposite Characters]] [[Characters/MickeyMouseComicUniverseFiends Professors Ecks, Doublex, and Triplex]] debuted in the ''Mickey Mouse'' newspaper serials. Of them, Professor Ecks kickstarted the creation of Doctor Frankenollie in 1995. Doctor Frankenollie in turn may have inspired [[Characters/MickeyMouseComicUniverseFiends Doctor Flor T. Winx]] in 2004. And then there's the possibility that the Mad Doctor's cloaked form in the short's first part, notably the one where he enters his castle with Pluto, are at the basis of the appearance given to the Phantom Blot in 1939.
587* FauxAffablyEvil: Present in the ''Epic Mickey'' series, although he wants to be forgiven for his past mistakes.
588* ForScience: Wanted to attach Pluto's head to a chicken's body just to see what would hatch from the eggs.
589* FourFingeredHands: Has them despite being a human.
590* HerrDoktor: In the ''Epic Mickey'' games, he has an obvious, [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign albeit nondescript]], Eastern European accent.
591* LeanAndMean: He's pretty thin.
592* MadScientist: For someone who has the same name as a [[MadDoctor trope]], he sure acts more like a scientist than doctor.
593* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's more a MadScientist than a MadDoctor, having nothing medical about him at all. Still, he has a doctorate and is evil to the core.
594* ObviouslyEvil: Skeleton thin, has EvilEyebrows, a BeardOfEvil, and an evil mustache. One look at him and you can tell he's bad news.
595* {{Sadist}}: He clearly takes joy in his cruel experiments.
596* TokenHuman: He's one of the exceptionally few humans that got to star alongside the FunnyAnimal cast in the early decades.

603-> Voiced by: Creator/KelseyGrammer (Runaway Brain)
604
605A mad scientist who picks Mickey for a brain swap with his homemade monster Julius.
606----
607* {{Expy}}: A case of DecompositeCharacter to CompositeCharacter. It starts with the 1933 short ''WesternAnimation/TheMadDoctor'', starring the Mad Doctor as the villain. The 1933 comic story ''"Blaggard Castle"'' is based on the short and debuted [[Characters/MickeyMouseComicUniverseFiends Professors Ecks, Doublex, and Triplex]], who in design and name are based on the Mad Doctor. ''WesternAnimation/RunawayBrain'' in turn featured Dr. Frankenollie as villain, who is similar to Ecks, Doublex, and Triplex because he is a monkey, a mad scientist, and a fan of trap doors. In fact, Frankenollie was originally intended to be Professor Ecks until meddling led to the creation of a new character. Frankenollie himself may have inspired [[Characters/MickeyMouseComicUniverseFiends Doctor Flor T. Winx]] from the comic story ''"The Stuff Of Dreams"''.
608* DrFakenstein: He's a MadScientist whose name starts with "Franken-", performing illegal experiments such as building a [[FrankensteinsMonster stitched-together giant humanoid monster]].
609* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: We get to to see his flesh dissolve into dust off his bones, mere seconds before they crumble apart. In a ''Disney'' cartoon.
610* IdeaBulb: A literal one. It's screwed to his head and lights up when he becomes energetic.
611* KarmicDeath: He got fried by his own equpment during the brain transplant. Possibly KarmaHoudini if you take the ''Tronics Good versus Evil'' toyline as canon.
612* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: He wears a (relatively short) white lab coat to indicate that he's a MadScientist.
613* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: "Ooh, I like it when they squeal!"
614* MadScientist: Making towering monsters isn't enough, nooooo! -- he has to also do a brain transplant with an involuntary donor.
615* TheMaker: To Julius, a FrankensteinsMonster that resembles WesternAnimation/{{Pete}}.
616* ManiacMonkeys: He's a maniac and he's a monkey.
617* ShoutOut: To Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, two of Disney's most important animators that always worked together.
618* SissyVillain: He's very touchy-feely and uses words like "baby" and "daddy" when talking to Julius.

Since then, Fifi has shown up in modern merchandise and a few Disney video games and mobile games (such as in ''Disney VideoGame/CrossyRoad'' and in ''VideoGame/DisneySpeedstorm'' as Daisy's Epic crew member in that game).
662* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Prior to the Paul Rudish [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013 Mickey Mouse shorts]], she hasn't reappeared in any Mickey Mouse-related media since the 1947 short "Pluto's Blue Note". She would get replaced by Dinah the Dachshund for future Mickey and Pluto-related cartoons such as ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseWorks''.
663* CryingCritters: After Minnie accidentally burned all of her cookies for Mickey. She's seen crying hysterically over the burnt cookies with Fifi also crying over the cookies. As Mickey and Pluto leave to pick up Nabisco cookies and Oreos (redubbed to "cookies" in the 1997 VHS "The Spirit Of Mickey"), Fifi is seen with tears streaming down her face.
664* DamselInDistress: In the 1939 cartoon, ''Society Dog Show''.
665* JerkassBall: She handles it quite a lot in the 1937 cartoon "Pluto's Quin-Puplets," where she [[HenpeckedHusband makes Pluto stay and watch their titular pups while she goes out for food]], then does not recognize the said pups when she finds them covered in paint, and finally makes Pluto and their pups sleep in a barrel for the night.

747* BeTheBall: She can turn herself into a ball - being an armadillo, after all - and does it a lot. It's what drives the plot of the short.
748* GenkiGirl: She's clearly having a lot of fun goofing around with Pluto.
749* InterspeciesRomance: There's strangely quite a lot of ShipTease between her and Pluto.
750* Leitmotif: A samba tune that plays multiple times in the short.
751* NearlyNormalAnimal: Specifically, she's a ''Mostly'' Normal Animal like Pluto.
752* NoNameGiven: She doesn't get a name.
753* ShipTease: A lot of it between her and Pluto. She winks and bats her eyes at him multiple times, one scene has her licking him across the nose, when he sniffs her she sniffs him back, and then there's the scene near the end where Pluto and the armadillo BOTH roll up into balls and start rolling around... they bump into each other several times, and then, once they unfurl, they continue dancing and bump their rear ends together.
754* StockAnimalBehavior: The whole "armadillo rolls up into a ball" thing. The whole short revolves around it.
755* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: She's got long eyelashes, which she bats at Pluto a few times.
756* [[TunnelKing Tunnel Queen]]: She's very good at digging tunnels.

793
794A fat, freeloading bear always on the lookout for an easy meal. Humphrey tended to run afoul of Donald Duck and fussy ranger J. Audubon Woodlore.
795----
796* BearsAreBadNews: Well, sort of. Humphrey may make life harder for those around him, but he's a pest rather than an actual threat. That said, he does play this a bit straighter the few times he's been paired with Goofy.
797* BearyFunny: The first instance of this was when he decided to head off Goofy by taking an elevator.
798* BigEater: When he can get food, that is.
799* ButtMonkey: He always ends up getting the short end of the stick. It gets to the point that he even makes ''[[BornUnlucky Donald]]'' look like less of one.
800* CharacterCatchphrase: A very distinctive "heh".
801* {{Expy}}: Not Humphrey himself, but when Humphrey's creator Jack Hannah left Disney for Walter Lantz, he created a new character named Fatso Bear, who was more or less identical to Humphrey.
802* [[PapaWolf Papa Bear]]: Becomes this in WesternAnimation/GoofTroop, due to him having a son of his own. Do not try to take his son away from him or prepare to get mauled.
803* TheUnintelligible: Humphrey's speech consists of grunts, mumbles, and whines.
804** In his guest appearances in both WesternAnimation/ChipAndDaleRescueRangers and WesternAnimation/GoofTroop, he was able to say complete sentences.

823Pete's dog.
824----
825* BitchInSheepsClothing: In ''"Pluto vs. the Watchdog"'', he played with Pluto in a sign of goodwill towards the dog he replaced as guard of the house. In truth, it was a way to trick and lock him outside the house.
826* TheBusCameBack: There's 44 years between the ''Donald Duck'' short ''The New Neighbor'' and the ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' short ''"Pluto vs. the Watchdog"''.
827* EyesOutOfSight: His eyes are perpetually covered by a tuft of red hair.
828* HonorAmongThieves: Muncey may be a pain to Donald, Pluto, and Mickey, but he's loyal to Pete and Pete clearly loves him.
829* PickyEater: In ''The New Neighbor'', Pete tricked Donald into sampling Muncey's lunch by presenting it as a meal he'd made for his new neighbor that had before graciously lent him some stuff. He did so to humiliate Donald, but also to show Muncey he had no reason to refuse his lunch.
830* RightHandAttackDog: Muncey's not really used for combat, but rather for stealth tactics while Pete takes care of any violence to be committed. Still, Muncey does serve as backup would Pete need it.
831* TrojanHorse: In ''"Pluto vs. the Watchdog"'', Pete sells Mickey Muncey as "the best guard dog [he] ever trained". The definition of "best guard dog" used here refers to how efficiently the dog will help him rob the house he's entrusted to protect.

852* HandyFeet: Being a gorilla, he has opposable thumbs on his feet, which he uses at one point to hang from the ceiling while ambushing Donald.
853* KillerGorilla: A vicious killer animal.
854* SuperPersistentPredator: He keeps chasing Donald even after he got an umbrella shoved in his mouth and he got knocked through several floors.

909* EvilSoundsDeep: Given his VocalDissonance, it's no surprise he's an EnfantTerrible.
910%%* HotelHellion: In "Bellboy Donald"
911* IconicOutfit: He recycles one -- he dresses like Literature/LittleLordFauntleroy.
912* OverlordJr: Basically a carbon copy of his dad.

916For a comprehensive list of tropes that apply to PJ, see Characters/GoofTroop.
917
918'''Tropes that apply to both Junior and PJ:'''
919* AmbiguousLookingCat: Both Junior and PJ, but PJ more so.
920* ArtEvolution: Pete's son first appeared in ''Bellboy Donald'' in 1942. In that cartoon, his name is Junior, he is dressed like Literature/LittleLordFauntleroy with blue WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse-like shorts. He even looked a lot like WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse, but with (decently proportionate) cat ears. In ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'', ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'', and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'', his name is P.J., he looks less like Mickey, is really overweight, and has small-ears like his dad, Pete.
921* TheCameo: {{WesternAnimation/Pete}}'s (unnamed) son in "Father's Week End." In this cartoon, he is a [[{{Dogfaces}} Dogface]] rather than a cat and looks like a black haired, black-nosed Goofy jr. and has flesh-toned fur over the rest of his body just like he does.
922* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In some cases, it marches such that a clone character turns into a diametric opposite.
923* InformedSpecies: Both Junior and PJ are this, but PJ is this more so.
924* SameCharacterButDifferent: In Junior's limited screentime, it's still incredibly obvious he has ''nothing'' in common with PJ. ([[YouDontLookLikeYou visual or otherwise]]). Several of the tropes Junior plays straight, PJ [[InvertedTrope inverts]].
925* YouDontLookLikeYou: "PJ" looks much more like Pete than "Junior" does.

954* ImprobableAge: Grand Canyonscope implies he fought on the Confederate side in the American Civil War making him roughly one century old by the time of the short.
