Context YMMV / Pete

Go To

1* AlternateCompanyEquivalent:
2** To [[Franchise/{{Popeye}} Bluto/Brutus]], although he predates him by several years so technically [[OlderThanTheyThink Bluto is one for him]]. Certainly doesn't hurt that Pinto Colvig voiced Pete '''AND''' Bluto at different times.
3** Could also be one to WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd, given his status as the IneffectualSympatheticVillain oldest enemy of Disney's [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse iconic character]] just like Elmer is the IneffectualSympatheticVillain oldest enemy of [[WesternAnimation/BugsBunny WB's own iconic character]].
4* CantUnHearIt: Many fans see Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}} as '''THE''' voice for Pete. To an extent, Billy Bletcher as well for being the foundation of the voice everyone associates with Pete.
5* FridgeBrilliance:
6** Why is Pete a cat? Because what other animal than a cat could be the perfect ArchEnemy of a [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse mouse]].
7** Also take note that he's regularly pitted against WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}, a [[HeroicCaninesVillainousFelines dog]].
8* LoveToHate: Naturally, being the oldest Disney villain, and one of the most iconic. A thoroughly unpleasant antagonist, but a perfect and hilarious opponent for our heroes.
9* MoralEventHorizon:
10** In Disney's ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceAndThePauper'', unlike in his other appearances, show Pete at his most irredeemable, being a cruel captain of the guard takes advantage of the king's illness to steal from the poor and plots to usurp by killing the Prince while using Mickey as his PuppetRuler when the king finally passes away.
11** ''WesternAnimation/MickeyDonaldGoofyTheThreeMusketeers'': "Hah hah hah! I'm in such a good mood." ''(tries to decapitate WesternAnimation/{{Donald|Duck}})''. And if that didn't do it for you, there's him chaining Mickey in a dungeon that will soon rapidly fill with water, nearly drowning him.
12* NewerThanTheyThink: A lot of people think Jim Cummings has been the voice of Pete for a bit longer than he really is, going back to the 80s. In reality, he became his voice in the early 90s starting with ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop''. Prior to that, Pete was actually voiced by Will Ryan in ''WesternAnimation/MickeysChristmasCarol'' and ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' and by Creator/ArthurBurghardt in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceAndThePauper''.
13* OlderThanTheyThink: As mentioned on the Western Animation page, he predates Mickey by three years.
14* PopularWithFurries: Being a [[BigBeautifulMan heavyset]] cat, he actually has plenty of furry fans.
