History WesternAnimation / Pete

* EvilSoundsDeep: Especially the Creator/JimCummings version. TheOtherWiki once said it was done to contrast Mickey's light falsetto voice.

* LargeHam

* HeelFaceTurn: He sometimes helps Mickey in his adventures.

[[IThoughtYouMeant No relation]] to [[TheAdventuresOfPeteAndPete those two Petes]].

* EvilSoundsDeep: Especially the Creator/JimCummings version.

* IHaveManyNames: Peg-Leg Pete, Big Bad Pete, Pistol Pete, [[UnfortunateImplications Black Pete]], and Pete Pete, to name a few.
** He also has had names that did not contain Pete: e.g., Tiny Tom (in ''Officer Duck''), Sylvester Macaroni (in ''Symphony Hour''), and Al Muldoon (in ''How to Be a Detective'').
* {{Jerkass}}
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: On occasion. ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'', ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', and ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseClubhouse'' show a more sympathetic side for example. The latter show and a commentary feature on ''The Three Musketeers'' DVD implies that he's usually a case of MeanCharacterNiceActor.

** His wife in European comics continuity is completely different, [[BigBeautifulWoman but still counts]].

[[caption-width-right:312:Not Pete's usual state, but fitting nonetheless.]]

A large anthropomorphic cat from the ClassicDisneyShorts who is constantly causing trouble for MickeyMouse, MinnieMouse, WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck, and WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} (all of whom, ironically, he predates).

He debut in the ''AliceComedies'' short, ''Alice Solves the Puzzle''. As well as some of the ''OswaldtheLuckyRabbit'' cartoons. In that cartoon, he was a bear.

* [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]]: ZigZagged. On ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' he can range from a relatively distant but still concerned BumblingDad to a harshly verbally abusive slave-driver with his son. With his daughter he can range from spoiling her with love to being somewhat neglectful. In "Bellboy Donald", he was not abusive at all, but was [[AdultsAreUseless useless.]]
* BearsAreBadNews: Before SteamboatWillie.
* BumblingDad: Pete plays this trope to perfection in ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop''.

* ChasteToons: Averted. He has three children, Junior from "Bellboy Donald" and [=PJ=] and Pistol from ''GoofTroop''.

* DependingOnTheWriter: Pete has been seen as a calculating and scheming villain, a simple criminal thug, a relatively mundane {{Jerkass}}, a simple annoying foil, or another type of creature all-together, in various appearances, and no one complains!

* EnemyMine: In one of European comics Pete teamed up with Commisoner O'Hara to make a scheme that will get the idea to make police and his gang more like in action movies out of the heads of Police Chief and Pete's Wife.

* FatBastard: To varying degrees throughout the years (see DependingOnTheWriter) but he always is fat and almost always an incredible bastard.

* HonestJohnsDealership: In ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop''.

** He also has had names that did not have Pete in it: i.e., Tiny Tom (in ''Officer Duck''), Sylvester Macaroni (in ''Symphony Hour''), and Al Muldoon (in ''How to Be a Detective'').

* LighterAndSofter: In MickeyMouseClubhouse, he's far less malicious, and much more mischevious. He's also on far better terms with the characters.

* UglyGuyHotWife: His marriage to Peg in ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' certainly counts for this.
** His wife in European comics continuity is completely different, [[BigBeautifulWoman but still counts]]
