Character Pete

[olinecoach61]

Pete should be a meet and greet, he often appears in the current Mickey Mouse clubhouse episodes.

Yes, Pete was a villain at times. BUT he was also the official mascot of the United States Merchant Marines during World War II. He's a national treasure.

I was actually going to start a thread on this! But, the OP beat me to it..oh well.
I've noticed this too, recently..I've always wanted to meet Pete! But I researched yesterday and it said that "Despite his increasing popularity and history, Pete has never made an actual live appearance."

Let's organize a grassroots movement!

my 16 month old son, loves Pete! I am all about this happening

There is always Stinky Pete.

I hate to be "that guy", but to my knowledge Stinky Pete isn't a walk-around character either. Unless you mean a different Stinky Pete than the one from Toy Story 2...

Heres the Pete insignia. Disney came up with some great ones for different armed services and groups !!!

Truly, America's victory in World War II can be attributed to the efforts of Donald Duck and Pete the Cat.

My 3 year old was just asking he if we will meet Pete during our next trip to Disney World. Pete is a huge part of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and from a kids point of view he is not seen as a bad guy at all. Hopefully Disney will add him in the future. My kids ask for Max (Goofy's son) too.

For what it's worth, a Pete costume did at one point exist... The Disney Wiki has a picture for it. I think it was used in a Disney On Ice show.

I'm guessing Pete is a new kid's cartoon character?

He was in Steamboat Willy and I think even some Oswald shorts so yeah he's pretty

Edit: Sorry you do know who Pete is.

One of the best parts of the "Three Musketeers" DVD is the voice-over commentary by Pete, Mickey, Goofy and Donald. Pete walks away with it, easily. He's very friendly towards the other characters - they're all just fellow actors, after all.

Nth-ing the votes to have Pete the Cat as a meetable character, as he's delightful whether he's appearing as a villain or a pal.

Pete is a cat? with that face?

Pete is a cat? with that face?

I think that's why Disney needs to officially give him back his tail (which it HAS done in the new Mickey Mouse shorts, yay!). Otherwise he looks more like a bear IMO.

I like this character too. I never knew he was called Pete the Cat (which is also the name of a series of completely unrelated children's books by the way). I also didn't know he was the Marine mascot. It is true that you learn something new every day!

On the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Ludvig Von Drake always refers to him by his full name of Pete the Cat; everyone else just calls him Pete.

My kids ask for Max (Goofy's son) too.

fyi

Max is actually a meetable character for WDW already, just not used in recent times.

** edit ** most recent date i see was summer of 2011.

From what I understand, he's used occasionally for Character Palooza at DHS, Epcot training, and the occasional marathon appearance.

i remember seeing him on one trip, i just don't remember when or where.

Good to know, we will have to keep a look out for him on our next trip. My kids watch those Christmas specials on Netflix a lot and he is in all of those.
