Who Was Peg Leg Pete?
Pete, believe it or not, is older than Mickey Mouse! He debuted three years prior to Mickey in the cartoon Alice Solves the Puzzle, he has appeared in more than 40 animated short films between 1925 and 1954, having been featured in the Alice Comedies and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons, and later in the Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy cartoons. Pete's final appearance during this era was The Lone Chipmunks (1954), which was the final installment of a three-part Chip an' Dale series. He also has been in both Goofy Movies, and played the antagonists (as per usual) in 'The Prince in the Pauper', and 'The Three Musketeers', and my personal favorite, he played one of Christmas spirits in 'A Christmas Carol'. He has also been brought back into the 'House of Mouse' Disney Channel Show, and was featured in a new style of cartoon that Disney debuted recently (I saw it at the opening of Frozen).
His alternative names include Peg-Leg Pete, Big Bad Pete and Black Pete.

Pete appeared as a bear in Alice Comedies, but was changed to cat later in his Disney career.
