Line #135 Characters/Fantasia


1	Characters in ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}''. For the characters from 1999 version, see ''Characters/{{Fantasia 2000}}''.
2	----
3	!!Hop Low
4	A small mushroom who appears in the "Nutcracker Suite" segment.
5	----
6	* MushroomMan: The smallest of a set of dancing mushrooms.
7	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: All of them are adorable.
8	* TheRuntAtTheEnd: Is smaller than the rest of the mushrooms, and always a step behind.
9
10	!!The Sorcerer's Apprentice
11	[[quoteright:294:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sormick.png]]
12	->'''"Played" by:''' WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse\
13	'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WaltDisney (''Fantasia''), Creator/WayneAllwine (''Fantasia 2000'')
14	WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse appears as a curious apprentice of the sorcerer of Yen Sid who wants to weasel out of his chores by stealing his master's magic hat.
15	----
16	* TheApprentice: Duh.
17	* AuthorAvatar: To Walt Disney, Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo, Walt Disney Classics, and Walt Disney Imagineering.
18	* BadassAdorable: Possibly one of Mickey's defining moments of badassery in his entire career.
19	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He sees his teacher's power with his MagicHat and tries using it himself. His lack of training almost kills him, reminding him why his master doesn't allow him to use the hat.
20	* BreakoutCharacter: Sorcerer's Appearance Mickey pretty much became the icon of Disney after the film's release and has made frequent appearances in shows such as ''Theatre/{{Fantasmic}}'', especially next to the classic red shorts and yellow shoes Mickey.
21	* GoneHorriblyRight: The animated broomsticks do exactly what he tells them to do... except ''stop.''
22	* MagicHat: He borrows his master's. Also a HatOfPower and RobeAndWizardHat.
23	* {{Mascot}}: Sorcerer Mickey Mouse is the mascot of Walt Disney Imagineering and was previously the mascot of Walt Disney Home Video and the "Black Diamond Classics" video line in the 80's and early 90's.
24	* MundaneUtility: Using magic to fetch water from a well.
25	* PowerIncontinence: He was able to animate the broomsticks into doing his chores, but he could not get them to stop.
26	* PrimaryColorChampion: A famous example. Mickey's wardrobe usually favors primary colors, but this version really plays it up, with flowing red robes and a big blue hat.
27	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: It's Mickey, after all.
28
29	!!Yen Sid
30	[[quoteright:111:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yen_sid.png]]
31	->'''Voiced by:''' MichaelRye (''Disney on Parade'' [1971]) Creator/CoreyBurton (all appearances starting with ''Disney Phonics Quest'')
32	The eponymous sorcerer from "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".
33	----
34	* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Pay attention to Yen Sid before he smacks Mickey with his broom. He betrays a smirk, implying that he was at least somewhat amused by Mickey's antics.
35	* BroughtDownToBadass: While his MagicHat does contain power, the end of the segment shows he still has power without it when he removes the overflowing water, something his student couldn't do even with the hat.
36	* DeathGlare: He gives an intimidating one to Mickey after he finds out he disobeyed him.
37	* MagicHat: One that apparently contains some of his power, given all that Mickey is able to do while wearing it.
38	* MeaningfulName: Yen Sid is often portrayed as a mentor to Mickey Mouse, and his name is [[Creator/{{Disney}} that of the man who created Mickey]] spelled backwards.
39	* {{Mentor\|Archetype}}: To Mickey.
40	* {{Myth/Merlin}}: 1971's ''Disney on Parade'' identified him as [[TheMagnificent "Merlin the Magnificent"]]--presumably the makers of the special weren't aware that the character already had a name due to his obscurity.
41	* MrAltDisney: WordOfGod claims that his design was based off of Walt Disney himself, specifically the disapproving glare he gives to Mickey being based off of Walt's own scowl.
42	* NoNameGiven: He goes unnamed in the actual film (technically, so does his apprentice, though subsequent Disney canon more or less states it actually ''is'' Mickey Mouse and not a character he is playing).
43	* PartingTheSea: With a grand flourish, he was able to part the overflowing water and make it vanish.
44	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Tends to be this in post-movie appearances.
45	* SdrawkcabName: [[WebVideo/KingdomHeartsInANutshell "My name spelled backwards is 'Disney.' Pretty cool, huh?"]]
46	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Should it be "Yen Sid" or "Yensid"? "Yensid" used to be the most common spelling, but "Yen Sid" caught on after ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' used it.[[note]] The ''Kingdom Hearts'' games were developed by Creator/SquareEnix, who also developed the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' games; ''Final Fantasy'' has a OncePerEpisode gimmick where every installment includes a character named "Sid" (or "Cid"), so they likely used that spelling as a MythologyGag.[[/note]]
47	* SternTeacher: He comes across as one, albeit not to the point of being unreasonable.
48	* SuddenlyVoiced: Yen Sid never said a word until ''Disney on Parade'' in 1971. And he never spoke again until ''Disney Phonics Quest'' in 2001 (though his first mainstream voiced role wouldn't come until 2006's ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII''). Since then he's also spoken in ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'' and at Ride/DisneyThemeParks.
49	* TranquilFury: He gets furious at Mickey for making a mess with his magic but he is surprisingly calm and composed when he does it.
50	* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: He's always seen in with a [[TheStoic serious and gloomy look on his face]]. However if you pay attention, after sending Mickey to do his chores, he shows a weak smirk, implying that despite being angry at him, he was deep down [[ActuallyPrettyFunny amused by his antics]].
51	* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: He is permanently drawn like this, albeit not as a sign of fear or anxiety. Perhaps a {{downplayed\|Trope}} instance of HellishPupils, depending on how positively you think he comes across.
52	* WizardClassic: Complete with [[WizardBeard long gray beard]] and a RobeAndWizardHat.
53
54	!!''Magic Brooms''
55	A broom that Mickey gives life and later multiplies after he tries to get rid of it.
56	----
57	* AnimateInanimateObject: Mickey brings one to life to help him carry the water.
58	* BreakoutCharacter: The magic brooms have made plenty cameos throughout Disney's history, such as ''Ride/MickeysPhilharmagic'' and ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''.
59	* DisneyDeath: After Mickey chops up the original one with an axe, the broken remains all turn into copies of the broom and proceed to continue their work.
60	* HydraProblem: Trying to stop the first broom by hacking it to pieces only makes it multiply.
61
62	!!''Tyrannosaurus rex''
63	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tyrannosaurus_hunting2.png]]
64
65	A hungry predator menacing the other dinosaurs in the "Rite of Spring" short.
66	----
67	* AlasPoorVillain: Not a villain per se, but its death during the drought is treated as tragic along with the rest of the dinosaurs.
68	* AntiVillain: The ''Tyrannosaurus'' is not truly evil, it just wants to feed and survive, but its terrifying appearance and behavior make it an antagonist nonetheless.
69	* ArtisticLicenseBiology: See ArtisticLicensePaleontology below.
70	* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: This 'tyrannosaur' [[ScienceMarchesOn doesn't look very plausible these days]]. It has several anatomical inaccuracies: an upright posture, long arms with three fingers (Disney insisted on three claws), etc. And to judge by the fossil record, a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' (extant from roughly 68 to 66 million years ago) could only battle a ''Stegosaurus'' (extant from roughly 155 to 150 million years ago) if it had access to a time machine.
71	* TheDreaded: All the dinosaurs run from it when they are in its presence.
72	* ExtraDigits: It has three fingers instead of the actual dinosaur's two.
73	* FangsAreEvil: Has a pair of long sharp fangs that stick out of his mouth which give it a vampire-like appearance.
74	* MadeOfIron: Takes several hits fr0k a ''Stegosaurus'''s thagomizer but always gets back up, although if this happened in real life, such hits would have been enough to kill it.
75	* MightyRoar: It lets out one of these after killing the ''Stegosaurus''. It's not heard though, as we only see his mouth's movement.
76	* NonMaliciousMonster: It's predatory, but not malevolent, as shown by how it simply settles down to eat its fill after killing the ''Stegosaurus''.
77	* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: Initially portrayed as an unstoppable force of nature, but eventually succumbs to dehydration.
78	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: As a sign of how serious the drought has gotten, the ''Tyrannosaurus'' is shown walking alongside its prey in the desperate search for water.
79	* PrehistoricMonster: The ''Tyrannosaurus'' looks less like an animal and more of demon reptile with red eyes and sharp teeth. It boldly enters into the scene, snapping its jaws at any prey close to its vicinity, and can endure several lethal blows from a ''Stegosaurus''. The only comfort is that the ''Tyrannosaurus'' will calm down when it gets it prey.
80	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has menacing red eyes.
81	* SuperPersistentPredator: Probably one of the earliest subversions in dinosaur media. It's plenty scary when it's on the assault to be sure, but it immediately stops menacing the other dinosaurs as soon as it manages to score a meal.
82	* TerrifyingTyrannosaur: It is portrayed as a fearsome predator that even the largest herbivores and smaller carnivores run from. It manages to withstand the strikes from a ''Stegosaurus'''s thagomizer (tail spikes) without any major injuries and kill the herbivore. However, during the drought scene, it is shown dying of thirst, showing that [[TheWorfEffect even the mightiest dinosaur cannot avoid extinction]].
83	* WhamShot: It succumbing during the drought is a sign that the age of the dinosaurs is truly over.
84	* TheWorfEffect: Once the drought hits, it becomes forced to walk alongside its prey in a search for water and eventually succumbs to the heat.
85
86	!!Peter Pegasus
87	[[quoteright:235:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peter_pegasus.jpg]]
88	A cute little Pegasus foal featured in the "Pastoral Symphony" segment.
89	----
90	* AlliterativeName: '''P'''eter '''P'''egasus.
91	* {{Pegasus}}: The smallest of a family of winged horses; his father is ''the'' Pegasus.
92	* TheRuntAtTheEnd: He's the last of his clutch(?) to learn to fly.
93	* SpeciesSurname: His surname is Pegasus and that's just what he is.
94	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Peter has [[DarkIsNotEvil black fur]] like his father.
95
96	!!Bacchus
97	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bacchus_disney.png]]
98	The God of Wine, partying with the other mythical beings in "Pastoral Symphony".
99	----
100	* AdaptationalUgliness: Greco-Roman art and literature usually depicted Bacchus as a PrettyBoy. This version of Bacchus is obese and can charitably be described as "funny-looking".
101	* TheAlcoholic: He really loves wine.
102	* BigFun: A given, seeing as he's the Greek god of wine.
103	* BoisterousBruiser: He's usually seen drinking wine and dancing around.
104	* ButtMonkey: When Zeus appeared and starting throwing lightning bolts, Bacchus was the one he mostly targeted.
105	* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Vulcan's Cain.
106	* DrunkenGlow: He usually has blushing cheeks and a round, pink nose.
107	* HugeRiderTinyMount: Easily outweighs his mount Jackus.
108
109	!!Jackus
110	A little donkey-unicorn who serves as the mount of Bacchus.
111	----
112	* HugeRiderTinyMount: The tiny mount to Bacchus.
113	* ALizardNamedLiz: His name is likely a pun on "jackass".
114	* MixAndMatchCritter: He's a donkey with a unicorn's horn.
115	* ReusedCharacterDesign: In terms of design, he's basically a horn-wearing donkey from ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}''.
116
117	!!Vulcan
118
119	[[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_7831.png]]
120
121	The Blacksmith God, Forger of Zeus' Lightning Bolts.
122	----
123	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: He’s crippled and deformed in the original myths, this version isn’t.
124	* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Bacchus' Abel through the brief thunderstorm Zeus caused at the party.
125	* TheDragon: Serves as one to Zeus during the latters' segment.
126	* HalfSiblingAngst: Vulcan is the half-brother of Bacchus through their father Zeus.
127	* UltimateBlacksmith: The codifier himself, as he was seen forging Zeus' Lightning Bolts before tossing them up to his father.
128
129	!!Zeus
130
131	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_7830_0.jpeg]]
132
133	The Ruler of Mount Olympus, God of Lightning.
134	----
135	* AbusiveParents: Spends most of the time he is on-screen tossing Lightning Bolts down on Bacchus; one of his own sons.
136	* BigBad: Arguably the closest one could get in the "Pastoral Symphony" segment due to him purposefully crashing the party being held for Bacchus.
137	* GodOfThunder: He is Freaking '''''ZEUS!'''''
138	* JerkassGods: Purposefully crashes a party being held in honor of one of his sons for no apparent reason, along with throwing down lightning bolts and creating a thunderstorm to disrupt the festivities even further.
139	* PunchClockVillain: Proven to be this as he tosses down around a dozen lightning bolts and unleashes a violent storm for a few minutes, then gives up and falls asleep, satisfied with the distruption he had caused.
140
141	!!Mademoiselle Upanova
142	A ballet-dancing ostrich appearing in "The Dance of the Hours", specifically the "morning" part.
143	----
144	* BigEater: As befitting her species.
145	* TheKlutz: Easily the least graceful of the dancers in "The Dance of the Hours"; and considering what the other dancers are, that's saying something.
146	* PunnyName: A play on the phrase "up and over", and on the name of the dancer who served as reference, Irina Baronova.
147
148	!! Hyacinth Hippo
149	->'''Voiced by:''' Mary T. Radford ''(Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit)''
150	A ballet-dancing hippopotamus appearing in the "day" and "night" parts of "The Dance of the Hours".
151	* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite her size, she's a skilled ballerina and can leap hundreds of feet in the air.
152	* AlliterativeName: '''H'''yacinth '''H'''ippo.
153	* BigBeautifulWoman: Ben Ali certainly seems to think so, as she's rather hefty and Ben Ali becomes smitten with her almost immediately.
154	* HeavySleeper: She manages to sleep through being shot in the air by bubbles.
155	* HuggyHuggyHippos: She's surprisingly friendly (and perhaps something more) towards Ben Ali Gator. In real life, a hippo would be violently intolerant of a crocodile in their territory.
156	* InterspeciesRomance: With Ben Ali Gator. At first she's afraid he wants to eat her. Once she realizes he's in love with her though, she immediately returns his affection.
157	* SpeciesSurname: A hippo called Hyacinth Hippo.
158	* SuddenlyVoiced: Has one line on her cameo in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. ("Oh, excuse me.")
159	* TutuFancy: Although it fits her a bit too tight.
160
161	!!Elephanchine
162	An elephant dancer appearing in the "afternoon" part of "The Dance of the Hours".
163	* FlatCharacter: He and his troop serve the smallest role in the segment.
164
165	!! Ben Ali Gator
166	An alligator dancer appearing in the "night" part of "The Dance of the Hours".
167	----
168	* ChubbyChaser: Hyacinth Hippo's hefty frame only seems to make her ''more'' appealing to him (granted that ''might'' be due to him also wanting to eat her).
169	* HandsomeLech: He is a slender alligator who flirts with Hyacinth Hippo while also intending to eat her.
170	* InformedSpecies: More closely resembles a crocodile than an alligator, except that he has an overbite just like a real alligator.
171	* InterspeciesRomance: With Hyacinth Hippo.
172	* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: It is implied that he and his fellow alligators intend to eat the other dancers.
173	* PunnyName: His name is a pun on the word "alligator" and the Arabic name Ben Ali.
174
175	!!Chernabog
176	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chernabog_fantasia.png]]
177	->Voiced by: Creator/CoreyBurton (All appearances outside of ''Fantasia'' and ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'')
178	A demonic being living on the eponymous mountain from "The Night on Bald Mountain". Heavily implied to be {{Satan}} himself.
179	----
180	* AdaptationNameChange: Chernabog is the name of a Slavic God of Darkness, but ''Fantasia'''s version is a flat out {{Satan}}-esque demon lord weakened by sunlight and church bells and implied to be imprisoned within Bald Mountain. It's more likely than not given his trappings, the original piece's intent and the commentary of the creative team that he's simply called "Chernabog" instead of "Satan" to avoid setting off a moral panic due to appearing in a family film.
181	* AffablyEvil: In all of his ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' appearances, he's never seen doing anything worse than knocking over furniture due to his size. Even in the ''House of Villains'' special, he never directly takes part in hostilities with the other villains. In fact, he's even been shown to sincerely and emphatically apologize to Michael Eisner when he blocked [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0OO99GXn2XM his and Mickey's view]] at a theater (though Eisner was technically his boss, being CEO of Disney at the time).
182	* ArchEnemy: To Sorcerer Mickey, his friends and his mentor, Yen Sid.
183	* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: Light and sacred bells can only force him and his minions back into hiding until night comes again.
184	* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: He is a giant, so large he can lift up multiple minions in a single hand.
185	* BadBoss: He torments his underlings for his own sadistic amusement at worst or outright boredom at best.
186	* BaitTheDog: After initially [[BadBoss tossing his gathered minions into the pit for no reason than boredom]], he then proceeds to create a trio of fiery feminine elementals in his palm as they, allowing them to dance on it, [[HiddenDepths a surprising and unexpected act that contrasts with abusive and nightmarish acts he did before]]. He then [[KickTheDog immediately changes his mind]] to [[ForcedTransformation change the trio into increasingly horrific forms as a mockery]], twisting his hand around as they desperately cling on for life and finally crush them in his palm as he reforms them into blue demons in his own nightmarish image. Establishing that he's not just a {{Jerkass}} who raises the dead and throwing his minions to their deaths just because [[ItAmusedMe he has nothing better to do]]; but a [[CardCarryingVillain completely evil being]] who defiles and warps everything ForTheEvulz.
187	* BigRedDevil: Black rather than red, but otherwise fits the trope as a muscular demon with horns and bat wings.
188	* BreakoutVillain: Given how he appears in a movie where Mickey Mouse is one of the protagonists, his reign as Big Bad can extend into various crossovers in the parks, even appearing as the penultimate boss in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI''.
189	* DarkIsEvil: A gigantic, black, devil-like figure with bat wings and horns who wakes up at night and fears the light.
190	* EldritchAbomination: A LivingShadow [[SatanicArchetype in the form of Satan]] still partly encased in Bald Mountain. A RealityWarper whose feats include necromancy, pyromancy and forced transformations. Church bells, fortunately, pain and confine him.
191	* EvilIsBigger: He's easily the tallest and the most wicked creature of the sequence. He could even be the biggest creature of the whole film.
192	* EvilIsBurningHot: Chernabog covers himself in fire near the end of ''Music/NightOnBaldMountain''.
193	* EvilIsHammy: He is the only character who can be identified as evil in the movie, and he's a LargeHam despite not actually saying anything. The exaggerated expressions on his face the gestures he makes do all the work.
194	* EvilOverlord: To the undead and demonic followers of the night, destroying and torturing them ForTheEvulz.
195	* EvilSorcerer: He can summon demons, ghosts, witches and other sorts of monsters and can manipulate fire at his own will.
196	* ForTheEvulz: Chernobog passes the time idly amusing himself. With terrible deeds from tossing his minions to his deaths or forcing them into humiliating forms agains their will. Best established with his cruel ForcedTransformation onto his three fiery succubi into animals, imps and finally demons in that order out of his own amusement.
197	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: With no pupils.
198	* GoodHurtsEvil: At the end of the segment, he's driven back into the mountain by a combination of church bells and the morning sun.
199	* GoodWingsEvilWings: He sports a huge pair of bat-like wings growing out of his back, accentuating his demonic appearance and underscoring his sinister nature.
200	* GreaterScopeVillain: Arguably this to the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon as a whole, being their {{Satan}} analogue. Of course given that he's trapped in Bald Mountain there's not much of a "Greater Scope" other than "He exists."
201	* HalloweenEpisode: He apparently awakens every Walpurgis Night (the Russian equivalent of Halloween) to celebrate the Witches' Sabbath.
202	* HolyBurnsEvil: It's implied that the sound of ringing church bells causes him physical pain.
203	* HornedHumanoid: A clue that he is {{Satan}}.
204	* HorrifyingTheHorror: Even he's afraid of angering Michael Eisner.
205	* HumanoidAbomination: A human torso, human arms... less human in the head with horns, glowing ProphetEyes bovine ears and, well, the wings.
206	* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: [[BaitTheDog Create a trio of beautiful creatures made of fire that dance for him, just to subject them to]] a ForcedTransformation until their forms suit him.
207	* KickTheDog: Tossing his minions into a fiery pit out of boredom and [[ForcedTransformation transforming a trio of fiery succubi into increasingly horrific forms]] while sadistically twisting his palm as they cling on for dear life before crushing them anyway.
208	* LargeHam: Chernabog is a rare non-speaking example. He's rarely impassive--his face is usually contorted either in rage or in diabolical glee.
209	* MeanCharacterNiceActor: His portrayal in ''Fantasia'' paints him as being one of the most sadistically malicious characters in Disney's line-up, but in all other appearances, he's jovial, friendly, and mild-mannered.
210	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Slavic for "black god" (read: devil).
211	* OurGargoylesRock: He awakens from stone and his form is essentially that of the classic gargoyle. But much, much bigger.
212	* PlayingWithFire: Chernabog is able to conjure flames of various color.
213	* PsychopathicManchild: Notice how he giddly shows enjoyment as he manipulates the demons and the rest of the monsters by making them dance or making them float en masse. He almost looks like a child as he toys with his playthings.
214	* RealityWarper: He raises the dead through his elongated shadow alone, summons demons from hell onto the earthly plane, and transforms minions into various forms.
215	* {{Sadist}}: He shows diabolical pleasure in bringing his reign of terror on Earth. His almost constant maniacally smile should make it clear. Best demonstrated when he [[ForcedTransformation transforms his female succubi trio into increasingly degrading forms until he found ones in his own image]] for no other reason that [[ForTheEvulz his own amusement]]
216	* {{Satan}}: Despite being officially known as Chernabog, it's pretty clear that he's actually supposed to be Satan himself, as stated by Deems Taylor and Walt Disney.
217	* SatanicArchetype: Very obvious, to the point where they had to change the name in order to get copyrighted, despite the narrator describing it as such.
218	* SealedEvilInACan: Bound immobile to a mountain for Walpuris Night every year, awakening to do [[ForTheEvulz evil acts]] until church bells drive him away.
219	* SlasherSmile: When he really liked his final transformation of his transformed minions.
220	* SuddenlyVoiced: In ''House of Mouse'' he actually makes a few quips.
221	-->'''Mickey:''' Why Chernabog threw a big party. You know it's easy to get to his house. Just make a right on Bald Mountain.
222	-->'''Chernabog:''' ''(pounding table and laughing)'' It's funny 'cause it's true!
223	* ThatsNoMoon: During the day, Bald Mountain looks like a regular mountain. At night, what appears to be the mountain's peak is revealed to be Chernabog himself, hiding under his wings.
224	* TheUnfought: Despite being mentioned in the manual for the game, Chernabog is never fought as the final boss. Rather his hands are the setting for the end of the game, with Mickey fending off demons, ghosts, and witches instead.
225	* VillainByDefault:
226	** It's easy to forget, but he doesn't actually ''do'' anything outright villainous during the "Night on Bald Mountain" segment itself. He mostly just wakes up, acts intimidating, and then gets forced back into hiding again. His reputation as the BigBad of the Disney Animated Canon largely stems from his appearances in other works.
227	** It is implied by Walt and Deems that he has performed many crimes against God, so it is possible that he's ''imprisoned'' in the mountain for terrible crimes. And while demons and ghosts can't be expected to get much sympathy, it's possible that they are brought to him and forced to amuse him against their will.
228	* VillainDecay: Like all the other villains in Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, all his appearances in ''House of Mouse'' are PlayedForLaughs and have him humorously congregating with the other Disney characters. One gag involves him confiding to Clarabelle Cow that he's afraid of the dark for one.
229	* VillainProtagonist: Well, he's a villain, but also the central character in "Night on Bald Mountain".
230	* WalkingShirtlessScene: Although the rest is covered by the mountain peak.
231	* WeakenedByTheLight: When the sun rises, he winces and shields his own eyes.
232	* WingedHumanoid: The terrible batlike wings, when folded, give the illusion of [[ThatsNoMoon an ordinary mountaintop.]]
233	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He dumps his first set of minions into the lava, which make the fires glow in wilder colors and rage more violently.
234	* YourSizeMayVary: In his original appearance in ''Fantasia'', he's the size of a mountain. In ''House of Mouse'', he's usually no larger than maybe ten or twelve feet, though considering he's a demigod he may be able to just change his size at will depending on the venue.
