Pete is the oldest continuing Disney character, and he’s changed his name almost as much as he’s changed his leg. At any given time he’s gone by Bad Pete, Big Pete, Big Bad Pete, Black Pete, Bootleg Pete, Dirty Pete, Mighty Pete, Pee Wee Pete, Peg Leg Pete, Petey, Sneaky Pete, and Piston Pete. I also love that his wife’s name (once upon a time) was Peg, in honor of his beloved peg leg 😂Animator Norm Ferguson developed Pete as a contrast to Mickey… large where Mickey was small, strong where Mick
