Robyn Starling

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20221107_193516_youtube_0.jpg
Voiced by: Anndi McAfee (English), María Fernanda Morales (Latin American Spanish)

A young girl whose mother passed away and with her father missing she is stuck in the care of her abusive guardian who is after her fortune.


  • Beauty Equals Goodness: She's a pretty young girl, and is very kind and compassionate.
  • Boyish Short Hair: Her hair stops just above her shoulders and she is also a Tomboy.
  • Expy: Of Penny, being a cute, kind, blonde-haired orphan imperiled by the Big Bad's greed.
    • Design-wise, she looks surprisingly like a kid version of Miranda from Bonkers.
  • The Cutie: A sweet, innocent girl who is nice to anyone she meets.
  • Cute Bruiser: She may be cute and beautiful, but also she's spunky, sassy and feisty.
  • Daddy's Girl: She loves her father dearly and is very determined to be with him away. It helps that she never knew her mother.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She has light blonde hair and is very nice and caring to anyone.
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: Robyn has deep blue eyes, and she's very kind and sweet.
  • Leitmotif: Instrumental of "Do I Miss You".
  • Missing Mom: In her words, her mother died when she was a baby.
  • Nice Girl: She's very sweet, nice, kind, levelheaded and caring.
  • Parental Abandonment: Her mom died when she was a baby, and her dad is said to have disappeared during an avalanche. Finding him is her goal.
  • Plucky Girl: She's quite spunky and isn't intimidated by her evil guardian.
  • Real Women Don't Wear Dresses: Perhaps the first little girl in an animated film to wear pants rather than a dress.
  • Spoiled Sweet: She's a young heiress, who is kind and caring- even to the point of befriending a cat and mouse.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: An infamous example. Her quest to find her father gets more focus in the movie than Tom and Jerry themselves.
  • The Runaway: Runs away twice, the second time with help from Tom and Jerry.
  • Tragic Keepsake: A locket given to her by her father. She loses it at Captain Kiddie's carnival, and Tom and Jerry use it to track her down.
  • Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Robyn prefers to wear a t-shirt and jeans and is very adventurous and determined to find her father but her more prized possession is her mother's locket.
  • Would Rather Suffer: By the end of the film, Robyn makes it clear she would rather take her chances inside a burning building than escape with Figg and Lickboot.

    Aunt Figg 

Aunt Pristine Figg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aunt_pristine_figg.png
Voiced by: Charlotte Rae (English), Liza Willert (Latin American Spanish), Micheline Dax (European French), Sachiko Kobayashi (Japanese)

The movie's main antagonist. A fat and foul woman who is trying to get Robyn's money.


  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: As Robyn puts it, "She seems sweet, but underneath she's mean, REAL mean."
  • Big Bad: She is the main antagonist of the film and the one behind Robyn running away.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: Figg eagerly, repeatedly demands Lickboot sink to any low necessary to get them money, and happily sings about what a greedy bitch she is. To the point of openly telling Lickboot, as a lawyer, to scheme, and disturbingly finding it attractive when he proposes sleazy ideas.
  • Child Hater: She very clearly hates Robyn, treating her like garbage and being willing to let the girl burn alive to save her own skin.
  • Deadpan Snarker: She has her moments.
    Lickboot: Well, look on the bright side. There may be another avalanche.
    Figg: And he may be eaten by the abominable snowthing. too.
  • Evil Aunt: Subverted. While she does fit the basic definition of this trope according to Robyn she is not actually her Aunt.
  • Evil Redhead: She has bright red hair and is the Big Bad of the film.
  • Expy: She plays a similar role to Madame Medusa, being a red-haired woman obsessed with wealth and material things, seeking to exploit a child to get them and having no problem with letting them die when they're no longer useful to her. Her character design also hears a strong resemblance to Ursula.
  • Fat Bitch: She is as greedy and short-termpered as she is overweight.
  • Faux Affably Evil: She puts on a facade of a sweet, caring guardian, but behind the doors she's cruel and nasty to Robyn and only cares about the trust fund money to look after her.
  • Financial Abuse: She only wants Robyn back so she can drain the trust fund set up by Robyn's missing father.
  • Finger-Lickin' Evil: After Lickboot proposes the very sleazy idea of offering a fake reward of a million dollars for Robyn's return, Figg seductively licks melted chocolate from a pastry off her fingers and says:
    Figg: Ooh I love it when you talk like that.
  • Greed: Her main motivation, as she wants to effectively keep Robyn prisoner for the money and belongings left to her.
  • Hate Sink: She lied to Robyn that her father died and planned to keep her in the dark that he was still alive, planned to have the girls' money for herself while leaving the girl living in a horrible state, is a bitch of the highest order to anyone not named Lickboot, had Tom and Jerry delivered to the evil Dr. Applecheeks for helping Robyn escape (though she didn't know he was also a bastard), decides to escape and leave Robyn to die when Robyn's Nest catches fire, and has no redeeming qualities to speak of.... yeah, Figg is an easy candidate for this.
  • Her Own Worst Enemy: Her poor impulse control and Lack of Empathy cause Figg far more problems than Robyn, Tom and Jerry ever do. Keeping in mind that Figg knew there was a chance Robyn's dad was still alive and she needs Robyn with her to keep accessing the Starling fortune, had she at least pretended to be nice to Robyn in private she could've enjoyed herself more easily before Mr. Starling returned.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: After all her attempts to drag Robyn back home, she eventually decides to leave the girl to die in a fire to save her own skin.
  • Large Ham: She is always very dramatic and emotional, which is one of the few things that keeps her from being too dark for the movie.
  • Laughably Evil: While she's one of the darkest villains in the Tom And Jerry franchise, her hamminess and cruel sense of humor means she's somewhat funny at times.
  • Leitmotif: Instrumental of "Money Is Such a Beautiful Word".
  • Stupid Evil:
    • Figg treats Robyn like complete garbage to the point Robyn keeps running away from home and jeopardizing Figg's access to the Starling fortune. It never dawns on her that if she at least treated Robyn decently it would ensure she has total control of the money.
    • Her (and Lickboot's) plan of how to deal with the fact Mr. Starling is still alive and coming back for Robyn does not goes beyond "burn the letter, lock Robyn in the attic, hope that somehow Mr. Starling never arrives". The plot makes clear that they are panicking throughout the whole latter part of the film because of this detail, because they seriously expected it wouldn't happen.
  • Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Pristine Figg is surprisingly dark for a usually light-hearted franchise like Tom and Jerry with some of her crimes like her abuse of Robyn and her Greed and the things she is willing to do for it.
  • Villainous Glutton: While not as extreme as Ferdinand, it's implied there's a reason why she's so fat. She even seems to hoard most of the good food in Robyn's house to herself. She describes herself as much during "Money Is Such a Beautiful Word."
    Money is power!
    If it were food it's a dish I'd devour!
    Every hour!
  • Villain Song: "Money Is Such a Beautiful Word", sung along with Lickboot.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Along with Lickboot and Ferdinand, the last we see of Figg is when the three of them are trapped and sailing down the river on Captain Kiddie's stolen steamboat, and it's never revealed whether they were caught or faced any punishment for their actions.

    Lickboot 

Mr. Lickboot

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20221107_194256_youtube.jpg
"We've got to have ... money...!"
Voiced by: Tony Jay (English), Jorge Roig (Latin American Spanish)

Figg's lawyer and partner in crime.


  • Affably Evil: Though he's obviously evil, Lickboot is well-spoken and, unlike Figg, this side of him is not a facade. He's also got enough humanity to be concerned for Robin's safety when her cabin catches fire.
  • Amoral Attorney: He's more interested in getting money than actually being a fair lawyer.
  • Bald of Evil: At least up top, he hasn't a hair on his head and is purely motivated by Greed.
  • Dastardly Whiplash: He bears a razor-thin handlebar moustache, and operates alongside Figg as one of the main villains.
  • The Dragon: The right-hand man to Aunt Figg.
  • Evil Is Hammy: He tends to chew scenery at least a bit in every scene he is in. Just listen to him when he declares he and Figg have got to have money.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: Courtesy of the late great Tony Jay.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: When Robyn is in danger within a burning cabin, he is surprisingly quick to shout for her to get to safety and is highly hesitant to leave her behind.
  • Expy: He plays a similar role to Mr. Snoops, being a greedy, besuited partner to the Big Bad, save for being far more competent. In both appearance and personality, he also bears a resemblance to Dick Dastardly.
  • Greed:
    "We've got to have... moneeeey...!"
  • Ink-Suit Actor: He resembles a younger version of his voice actor Tony Jay.
  • Large Ham: See Evil Is Hammy above. It's clear Tony Jay was having a good time recording his lines.
  • Lesser of Two Evils: While he goes along with Figg's scheme, he approaches it in a comparatively smarter and more sensible manner than she does. Coupled with moments where he seems to show genuine concern for Robyn, it's apparent that Lickboot is the more noble of the two villains.
  • Pet the Dog: He's sincerely concerned for Robyn's safety once the cabin where they are catches fire, telling her that she needs to get out of the burning cabin, showing that for all his villainy, he's still got humanity.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: A possible alternative interpretation of his Even Evil Has Standards moments. While he openly disapproves of Figg's more extreme actions, such as leaving Robyn to die in the fire, his objections may be less about genuine concern for the girl's well-being, and more about the potential legal consequences they would face for putting her in harm's way.
  • Punny Name: His name is a play on "bootlicker," referencing his status as Figg's right-hand man.
  • Villain Song: "Money Is Such a Beautiful Word", sung along with Figg.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Along with Figg and Ferdinand, the last we see of Lickboot is when the three of them are trapped and sailing down the river on Captain Kiddie's stolen steamboat, and it's never revealed whether they were caught or faced any punishment for their actions.
  • Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Played with. He doesn't oppose Figg's abusive behavior towards Robyn, but his concern for the girl's safety is at least genuine; once the cabin where they are catches fire, he tells her to get out.

Mr. Starling

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_starling_t&j_movie.jpg
"If Robyn's in trouble, there's only one place she'll go..."
Voiced by: Ed Gilbert (English), Raúl de la Fuente (Latin American Spanish)

Robyn's father, who is thought to have disappeared during an avalanche. Midway through the plot it's revealed that he's still alive and kicking, while the climax shows that, upon hearing of his daughter getting lost, he goes to look for her.

All spoilers are unmarked.


  • Big Damn Heroes: When Robyn's Nest catches fire, his first instinct is, of course, to rescue his daughter — via helicopter, too!
  • Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: And it wasn't even his fault. Apparently, he got lost in an avalanche in Tibet during work and lost all communication with his daughter. Since his work involves trips by plane, it's well-implied that Mr. Starling's work is too dangerous for him to bring Robyn, and justifiedly so.
  • Deceased Parents Are the Best: Subverted as he is shown to be alive by the movie's climax.
  • Disappeared Dad: Thankfully, he is revelaed to be alive midway through the plot through a telegram, and he reappears during the climax.
  • Expy: Save for the moustache, he looks really similar to Indiana Jones.
  • Father's Quest: The moment the man heard from the radio that his Robyn was missing, he headed straight to their second home, Robyn's Nest, because he knew he would find her there.
  • Friend to All Living Things: He lets Tom and Jerry stay on Robyn's new house at the end of the film.
  • Good Parents: He clearly loves his daughter.
  • Mysterious Parent: He was unable to take care of Robyn because he works a very dangerous shift, one that in fact made him unable to come back home for quite a long time and was also thought to have died at the job.
  • Parents as People: Mr. Starling is portrayed quite realistically, being a father that not only had to take care of his daughter when she was still a baby and his mother died, he also works a dangerous shift. Fortunately, he's still alive and his love for Robyn hasn't waned one bit.
  • Parents in Distress: Robyn thinks he might still be in danger, and her goal is to rescue him in Tibet. Subverted when the climax shows he's alive and well.
  • Parents Know Their Children: Meanwhile, Mr. Starling correctly deduces that, if his runaway girl is out there, there's one place she would be at — Robyn's Nest. And indeed, he finds her there... in time to rescue her from the house on fire.
  • The Reveal: After Figg and Lickboot put a bounty for finding her, we see that Mr. Starling is, indeed, alive.
  • Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Fortunately for Robyn, her daddy is still alive and kicking, and he is on his way to reunite with her.
  • Unflappable Guardian: He paused his job to look for his daughter when she was reported missing.
  • Unnamed Parent: We don't know his first name.
  • Walking Spoiler: Many of the details surrounding him are about his apparent death and The Reveal he was alive all along.
  • Wham Line: The telegram delivered to Figg and Lickboot that he was still alive, just refugeeing himself in a shack in Tibet.
    Figg: Alive?! He's alive?!
    Lickboot: The telegram just came. Starling's lying in some godforsaken native shack on a mountainside in Tibet.
    Figg: Maybe every bone in his body is broken... if we're lucky. But he's alive!
  • When You Coming Home, Dad?: His dangerous job didn't allow him to be there for Robyn for the longest time, to the point he was presumed dead.

    Puggsy and Frankie 

Puggsy and Frankie DaFlea

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20221107_211344_youtube.jpg
"You two gotta learn to be friends."
Puggsy — Voiced by: Ed Gilbert (English), Francisco Colmenero (Latin American Spanish)
Frankie — Voiced by: David Lander (English), Raúl Aldana (Latin American Spanish)

Puggsy is a dog who was abandoned by his owners and Frankie is a flea he befriended. They are first characters Tom and Jerry meet after their house is destroyed, and this other duo try to help them get along.


  • Big Friendly Dog: Puggsy, who is quick to try and befriend Tom and Jerry, and start them off in getting along for a change.
  • Expy: Puggsy bears a slight resemblance to Disney's version of Baloo, and has a similar laid back, friendly personality. He is also voiced by Ed Gilbert, who was Baloo's main voice actor at the time in shows such as Talespin.
  • Gratuitous Spanish:
    Puggsy: Tonight we dine "al fresco".
  • Leitmotif: Their scenes are often accompanied by the tune of their song, "Friends To The End".
  • Nice Guys: The two are very amiable.
  • Odd Friendship: It's pointed out that a dog and a flea are not expected to get along so well, but Puggsy and Frankie are friends anyway, and they try to inspire Tom and Jerry to do the same. Even when Frankie briefly chastises Puggsy when they're seen in Applecheeks' veterinary jail, Puggsy isn't fazed about it and the two don't argue.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: They're captured by Applecheeks' thugs not long after meeting Tom and Jerry, and only briefly encounter the duo again when they all escape the pound together later in the film. Despite this, their influence inspires Tom and Jerry to put aside their differences and become friends, indirectly allowing them to work together and help Robyn.
  • Tenor Boy: In courtesy of Ed Gilbert and David L. Lander.
  • The Pollyanna: Both of them are super optimistic and like to bring hope to others.
  • Those Two Guys: They're never once seen apart. Even when Puggsy is locked up by Applecheeks' Stray Catchers, Frankie chooses to stay with him in his cell, despite clearly being small enough to escape on his own.

    Alley Cats 

Alley Cats

Leader — Voiced by: Scott Wojahn (English), Arturo Mercado (Latin American Spanish)
Big cat — Voiced by: Mitchel D. Moore (English), Francisco Colmenero (Latin American Spanish)
Punk cats — Voiced by: Raymond McLeod (English), Carlos Segundo (Latin American Spanish)

A gang of stray cats who live in the same alleys as Pugsy and Frankie. They appear to antagonize Tom after Pugsy and Frankie are thrown out of the picture for a music number and are immediately disposed of by Tom.


  • Ambiguous Situation: Were they starting to like Tom by the end of their song? The fact they extend their arms to him, as if them wanting him to join them, doesn't help in the slightest.
  • Badbutt: Their appearance is tough, but most of their petty demeanor is so harmless, you can't help but laugh about it. When was the last time a group of violent street thugs threatened to give you a Pie in the Face?
  • Card-Carrying Jerkass: Their Villain Song, "What Do We Care", is basically just them bragging about how mean they are and how they don't care about kindness or morals.
  • Cats Are Mean: Mean enough to make a gang.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: Despite his short stature, the leader's voice is quite deep.
  • Five-Man Band: The Leader, The Brute and three punk-looking cats.
  • Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: Their role is extremely minimal, they just appear for a quick musical number. Other than that, no real explanation for them is given.
  • Harmless Villain: They exist simply to intimidate Tom, sing a song, and immediately exit the picture courtesy of the same cat they're tormenting.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: After trying to intimidate Tom, then trying to get him when he escapes their apparent intent of "friendship", Tom disposes of them easily by opening a manhole and them falling in the sewers.
  • Mister Big: The Leader of the five is the shortest one.
  • Poke the Poodle: Their song basically amounts to admitting to this.
  • Uncertain Doom: We don't know what else is of them after they fall into the sewers.
  • Villain Song: "What Do We Care?"
  • Vocal Dissonance:
    • As explained in Evil Sounds Deep, The Leader is the shortest but the most deep-sounding.
    • The Brute of the five has a squeaky voice that would make one snicker. That being said, the voice sounds noticeably deeper with the line "we prefer obscenity". Averted in the Latin American dub, where his voice is deeper and more proper-sounding.
  • With Friends Like These...: One of their song's lyrics puts it perfectly...
    Can't you tell?!
    We hate each other as well!

    Ferdinand 

Ferdinand

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/download_2_148.jpeg
Voiced by: Michael Bell (English), Arturo Mercado (Latin American Spanish)

Figg's obese dachshund.


  • Big Eater: Aunt Figg mostly allows him to eat anything he wants, lampshading this at one point.
    Aunt Figg: I know you were eating. You're always eating!
  • Fat Bastard: He is particularly malicious towards Tom and Jerry, trying his best not to let his girth get in the way.
  • Fat Comic Relief: Most of his humor comes from him being so fat that he needs a skateboard to move around.
  • Greed: "Money Is Such a Beautiful Word" reveals that Ferdinand is just as obsessed with money as Aunt Figg and Mr. Lickboot are.
  • Laughably Evil: Though firmly a villain and obstacle on the titular duo's way, he's also the Fat Comic Relief for the film.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: He pins the blame on Tom and Jerry for making a mess in Aunt Figg's kitchen, getting them sent to Dr. Applecheeks. Later, he catches Jerry trying to escape from Dr. Applecheeks and puts him in a jar.
  • Right-Hand Attack Dog: Aunt Figg mainly uses him to thwart Tom and Jerry's attempts to help Robyn.
  • Self-Disposing Villain: His skateboard causes Figg and Lickboot to unwillingly be sent flying and get trapped in Captain Kiddie's steamboat, which initiates itself and is last seen sailing away from Robyn's Nest.
  • Super Not-Drowning Skills: He is accidentally kicked into the river trying to chase Robyn, Tom and Jerry. It's not mentioned how he got out, but his next scene shows him sleeping it off with an ice bag on his head.
  • Uncatty Resemblance: Mostly in the weight category, as he and Aunt Figg are both overweight.
  • Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: The latter to Aunt Figg's former. His weight is played for laughs while Aunt Figg's isn't.
  • Villainous Glutton: He has his eye on a big steak in Aunt Figg's kitchen while throwing a bowl of cat food in Tom's direction. He also goes out of his way to catch a cupcake thrown by Figg.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: The last we see of him, Figg and Lickboot, they're trapped and sailing down the river on Captain Kiddie's stolen steamboat.

    Dr. Applecheeks 

Dr. J. Sweetface Applecheek

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20221107_210414_youtube.jpg
Voiced by: Henry Gibson (English), Francisco Colmenero (Latin American Spanish)

A veterinarian who seems nice, but is really quite horrible. Aunt Figg sends Tom and Jerry to his veterinary after they help Robyn escape home from her. He later joins in on the plot proper with the objective of claiming the million dollar bounty for delivering Robyn.


  • Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Once his stray catchers bite back and get rid of him in the race for the reward, Applecheeks tries to bargain with them by splitting the reward. It obviously doesn't work.
  • Bad People Abuse Animals: Holds animals for ransom/to sell them, and abuses them while they stay in his veterinary.
  • Bald of Evil: He has hair on the sides and back of his head but not on top.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He may act the part of a kindhearted veterinarian, but he's far nastier behind closed doors.
  • Evil Genius: A scheming man who manages to keep running a racketeering operation involving taking people's pets hostage under the guise of a kindly veterinarian. Considering that the public haven't found out, he'd have to be fairly intelligent.
  • Exact Words: He wasn't lying when he said he loves animals... he loves them because they make him money.
  • Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He wears glasses and is actually very unpleasant under the surface.
  • Greed: Abducts people's pets and pretty much holds them for ransom.
  • Hate Sink: Applecheeks is a greedy Jerkass with no redeeming factors who puts on a nice vet act, holds pets for ransom, treats said animals and his workers poorly, and it's implied he would've kidnapped Robyn just to get the reward money. In the end, this ensures his Uncertain Doom will not be cried for.
  • Jerkass: Treats animals like crap, his henchmen like crap, steals an ice-cream bike, is greedy... and possibly more.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: His two straycatchers failed him by letting the animals escape easily from his veterinary, essentially leaving him starting from scratch. It's no wonder he wouldn't want to give his henchmen squat when he tries to get the reward from Figg.
  • Large Ham: "If I can get to Robyn before Pristine Figg the reward will be mine! All mine!"
  • Laser-Guided Karma: His horrible treatment of others and greedy quest for money ends not only in his straycatchers biting his ass back and getting rid of him, but also to his (ambiguous) demise by floating stuck in an ice-cream cart, down a river.
  • Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: One of the villains with the title of "Doctor".
  • Slasher Smile: When he steals the ice-cream bike.
  • Tom the Dark Lord: Dr. J. Sweetface Applecheek, anyone?
  • Uncertain Doom: The last we see of him, he's still stuck in the ice-cream cart he stole, floating down the river. We don't know if he escapes or not.
  • Villain Song: "God's Little Creatures". Double subverted too — the song starts out with him singing he loves animals... then transitions to this trope as he explains why he loves them: they make him money.
  • Whip of Dominance: He intimidates the kidnapped pets in his basement by cracking his horsewhip around the cages multiple times while doing a maniacal Evil Laugh.
  • You Have Failed Me: Downplayed — he doesn't get rid of the straycatchers for letting his animals escape, but he makes it clear he is not paying them part of the reward for delivering Robyn.

    Stray Catchers 

The Stray Catchers

Purple stray catcher — Voiced by: Michael Bell (English), Herman López (Latin American Spanish)
Orange stray catcher — Voiced by: Sydney Lassick (English), Javier Rivero (Latin American Spanish)

A duo of criminals that work for Dr. Applecheeks.


  • Bumbling Henchmen Duo: The two are this for Dr. Applecheeks. They try their best, but they were also technically responsible for letting the pets escape from Applecheeks' veterinary.
  • The Dog Bites Back: After Applecheeks makes it clear they won't get squat due to failing him, they get rid of him to get the reward themselves.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: After they rid of Applecheeks to get the reward themselves, they are trapped by Tom and Jerry in the same ferris wheel Captain Kiddie trapped Robyn in. When they yell at their boss to rescue them, Applecheeks simply leaves them to his luck.
  • Laughably Evil: Much of their screentime is played for laughs.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: They were able to capture Pugsy and Frankie, who were already teaching Tom and Jerry to be kind to each other. They also leave Applecheeks to his luck when he plans to get the reward and tells them they're getting nothing.
  • Simpleton Voice: They speak like this.
  • Uncertain Doom: We last see them trapped in the ferris wheel and the story doesn't make it clear if they escaped or not.

    Captain Kiddie and Squawk 

Captain Kiddie and Squawk

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hqdefault_1115.jpg
"I've played 'em all from Broadway to Timbuktu and back again."
Captain Kiddie — Voiced by: Rip Taylor (English), Carlos Segundo (Latin American Spanish)
Squawk — Voiced by: Howard Morris (English), Genaro Vásquez (Latin American Spanish)

An entertainer who owns a roadside carnival and performs with his puppet Squawk.


  • Actor Allusion: At the end of his musical number he throws confetti out of his pockets, just like his actor Rip Taylor used to do in many of his acts.
  • Affably Evil: Captain Kiddie is a genuinely nice man, but he has a greedy streak that gets the best of him, such as when he found out about the million dollar bounty. Though even then, he doesn't harm Robyn and makes sure she's "safe and sound" when her Aunt comes for her (granted, sky-high in a ferris wheel, but otherwise unharmed).
  • Anti-Villain: Type I (Noble). He does not know the extent to which Figg abuses Robin and was actually nice, even after he found out about the money.
  • Animate Inanimate Object: Squawk notices Robyn's picture on a milk carton before Kiddie does and brings it to his attention. He also appears to eat and drink.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: A man who goes around talking to a hand puppet as if it were another person can't exactly be all there mentally.
  • Evil Redhead: Downplayed. The Captain's not "evil" per se, but has red hair and happens to be an antagonist; upon discovering the bounty, he keeps Robyn hostage to give her to Figg.
  • Greed: He initially saves Robyn and shelters her with no ulterior motives. Once he learns about the million dollar reward Figg "promised", he traps Robyn on the Ferris wheel and gives away her location to Figg.
  • Large Ham: He's very loud and exuberant, which fits his role as a carnival entertainer.
  • Laughably Evil: While the film's other antagonists have moments of being intimidating, with Dr. Applecheeks in particular being a borderline Knight of Cerebus at points, Captain Kiddie is simply a bumbling carnival owner that wants the reward money, and his antics in trying to capture Robyn are entirely Played for Laughs.
  • Signature Headgear: A nice blue mariner hat.
  • Snarky Inanimate Object: Many of the lines Squawk spouts are snark.
  • Uncertain Doom: We last see the Captain hanging for dear life from a log below a bridge after he's sent flying from his inflatable launch on his pursuit for Robyn, with no explanation of whether he survived by the end of the story or not.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: The two seem to be on amicable terms despite how much they bicker (or rather, bickers with himself).

    Droopy 

Droopy

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/droopy_t&j_movie.png
Voiced by: Don Messick (English), Arturo Mercado (Latin American Spanish)

Tex Avery's iconic character, who makes a cameo during the latter half of the movie.


  • Advertised Extra: Appears during the trailer for the movie and is even featured in the cover... but is relegated to a simple cameo.
  • The Cameo: He's among the pets that are released from Dr. Applecheeks' veterinary, immediately spouting his ever-famous catchphrase.
    "Hello, all you happy people."
  • Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer seemingly paints him as a character of some importance to the movie; sadly, he doesn't get much time on-screen.
