Editing Beagle Boys (section)

==The Beagle Boys in animation==
===''Sport Goofy in Soccermania''===
The Beagle Boys made their animated debut in the 1987 television special ''[[Sport Goofy in Soccermania]]'', voiced by [[Will Ryan]]. Similar to the comic books, the Beagle Boys are depicted as identical in both appearance and behavior, though lacking the prison numbers of their comic counterparts.

===''DuckTales''===
[[File:Beaglefamily.png|thumb|A Beagle family photo, as seen in ''DuckTales''. From left to right: Burger, Baggy, Bouncer, Bigtime, Ma Beagle, Bugle, Bankjob, and Babyface.]]
On ''DuckTales'', the Beagle Boys were given [[List of DuckTales characters#Beagle Boys|names and different personalities]] and almost all of them speak in [[New York accents]]. The usual character combination is Bigtime, Burger, and either Bouncer or Baggy, with Bouncer appearing more often in the first season and Baggy in the second. Their leader is usually Bigtime when [[Ma Beagle]] is not present. Sometimes one or two of them were swapped out with Bankjob, Babyface, or Bugle, and a few episodes featured the latter three as the trio of Beagles, with Bankjob filling in for Bigtime as the leader. Other known names are Bomber and Blitzkrieg. The letter [[B]] is the first initial of all Beagle Boys' handles except Megabyte, the brains of the bunch.

The Beagle Boys have many relatives who count each other as brothers and cousins: apart from Ma Beagle, there are re-imagined versions of the Beagle Brats (sons or nephews), as well as the Beagle Babes (a female counterpart).

The Beagle Boys make cameos in the ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'' episode "In Like Blunt", where they are among the villains bidding on a list of SHUSH's secret agents.

====Ma Beagle====
'''Ma Beagle''', based on the real-life [[Ma Barker]] and the mystifications around her, was a new character created for ''DuckTales'' as the mother of the seven common Beagle Boys featured on the show, and the clan [[matriarch]]. She often smuggles [[hand grenade]]s, [[chainsaw]]s, and other tools in baked goods which easily pass prison security to help her sons escape from [[Prison|jail]]. Even when she is around, the Beagles never succeed because [[Scrooge McDuck]] and his nephews always outwit them. However, in most of the episodes she appears in (especially in the first season), she is able to avoid being arrested along with her sons; that way, she will be able to bust them out the next time she appears. In one episode, she pretended to be "married" to Scrooge so that she could steal his fortune, but her plans were thwarted by both him and his [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie|three nephews]]. With Ma, family always comes first – except when it comes to avoiding arrest. She was voiced by actress [[June Foray]], who also voiced [[Magica De Spell]]. Character actress [[Margo Martindale]] voices Ma in the 2017 ''DuckTales'' series.

Ma Beagle first appeared in the episode "Robot Robbers", and since then she has become a recurring character. She appeared more frequently in the second season than in the first, however.

====1987 Series Beagles====
There were many Beagle Boys on the [[DuckTales (1987 TV series)|1987 original series]], but the most common seven consisted of:

{| class="wikitable"
|- style="background:#EFEFEF"
|'''Name'''
|'''Placard Number'''
|'''Characteristics'''
|-
|'''Bigtime Beagle'''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mickeymouseathletics.com/player/big-time-beagle/|title=Bigtime Beagle {{!}} Mickey Mouse Athletics|website=mickeymouseathletics.com|access-date=August 20, 2019|archive-date=August 31, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170831151848/https://mickeymouseathletics.com/player/big-time-beagle|url-status=usurped}}</ref>
|167–671
|Bigtime is the second-in-command, being the leader of the group in absence of Ma Beagle, and is distinguished by being rather short for someone with the word "Big" in his name. He is the smartest of the seven main Beagles and often has to correct his companions whenever they get something wrong or mishear his directions. Voiced by [[Frank Welker]].
|-
|'''Burger Beagle'''
|761-176 or 176–761
|As his name suggests, Burger has a large appetite, although it's for more than just hamburgers. He has a habit of talking about food no matter if any of the others are actually talking about it. His prison tag is often seen with a bite taken out of it. He also is not very bright. Incidentally, his comic counterpart (who had the second placard number) is known for a special appreciation for prunes and his curious culinary tastes (i.e. catsup on ice cream or peanut butter pizza with gravy). Voiced by [[Chuck McCann]].
|-
|'''Bouncer Beagle'''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mickeymouseathletics.com/player/bouncer-beagle/|title=Bouncer Beagle {{!}} Mickey Mouse Athletics|website=mickeymouseathletics.com|access-date=August 20, 2019|archive-date=August 31, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170831183405/https://mickeymouseathletics.com/player/bouncer-beagle|url-status=usurped}}</ref>
|716-167
|Distinguishable for his teeth, one of which is missing, Bouncer is the strongest Beagle after Bankjob. In earlier episodes, before their names were well established, Bouncer sometimes had Burger's voice and vice versa. He appeared much less frequently in the second season, most likely because he was in jail as mentioned by Ma Beagle in one episode. In the GameCube version of the video game ''Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers!'', during the Beagle Boys boss battle, when Donald Duck fights Bigtime, Burger, and Bouncer, all three of them have the same number on Bouncer's shirt. Voiced by Chuck McCann.
|-
|'''Baggy Beagle'''
|617–716
|Baggy is distinguishable for his silly grin as well as his loose-fitting clothing. His prison tag is often seen with a fold in one of the corners. He is the least intelligent and the most sloppy of the Beagle Boys. He appeared more frequently in the second season and somewhat replaced Bouncer as third beagle in the usual trio of himself, Bigtime, and Burger. Voiced by Frank Welker.
|-
|'''Bankjob Beagle'''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mickeymouseathletics.com/player/bankjob-beagle/|title=Bankjob Beagle {{!}} Mickey Mouse Athletics|website=mickeymouseathletics.com|access-date=August 20, 2019|archive-date=August 31, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170831141827/https://mickeymouseathletics.com/player/bankjob-beagle|url-status=usurped}}</ref>
|671-167 or 614-167
|Bankjob is the third-in-command of the Beagle Boys, as he usually leads the group in episodes where Bigtime is not present. He is the largest of the seven main Beagles (by comparison, he is about the same size as Launchpad), and the strongest. In the second season, he had no speaking roles and rarely appeared. Voiced by [[Peter Cullen]].
|-
|'''Bugle/Bebop Beagle'''
|671–761
|Bugle, or Bebop, depending on the episode, is the beatnik member of the Beagle Boys (despite the fact that the comic Beagle with this character trait corresponds by placard to Babyface), and even dresses in a jazz-styled outfit. Had no speaking roles in season two. Voiced by [[Brian Cummings]].
|-
|'''Babyface Beagle'''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mickeymouseathletics.com/player/babyface-beagle/|title=Babyface Beagle {{!}} Mickey Mouse Athletics|website=mickeymouseathletics.com|access-date=August 20, 2019|archive-date=August 31, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170831144838/https://mickeymouseathletics.com/player/babyface-beagle|url-status=usurped}}</ref>
|176-167
|As his name suggests, Babyface is the youngest of the primary Beagles, as evidenced by the fact that his own clothing matches those of a baby, including a [[propeller beanie]] in place of the usual hat. He's also rather short yet slightly taller than Bigtime. In spite of this, his voice, provided by [[Terry McGovern (actor)|Terry McGovern]] (who also voices [[Launchpad McQuack|Launchpad]]), sounds more manly than that of Burger. Strangely, one particular comic story in ''[[Disney Adventures]]'' prominently featured Babyface, wherein he infiltrated [[Webby Vanderquack|Webby]]'s class. But he looked different from how he did on the show, and he also had a conscience, as he ended up rebelling against his brothers during a field trip to Scrooge's Money Bin. (He still ended up being arrested along with his brothers, though.) Like Bankjob and Bebop, his role was reduced to non-speaking cameos in the second season.

'''Other Beagle Boys consisted of''':
* '''Megabyte Beagle'''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mickeymouseathletics.com/player/megabyte-beagle/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170822190914/https://mickeymouseathletics.com/player/megabyte-beagle/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=August 22, 2017|title=Megabyte Beagle {{!}} Mickey Mouse Athletics|website=mickeymouseathletics.com|access-date=August 20, 2019}}</ref> is the most intelligent engineering genius of the clan, and the only one whose name does not begin with the letter "B". He appeared in the five-part serial ''Super DuckTales'', in which he made a remote control to control [[GizmoDuck]]. He has a habit of confusing his companions with his technobabble, forcing them to make him "say it in Beagle talk!". Ma Beagle comments that paying his college fees with stolen money paid off. His voice was done by [[Frank Welker]].
* '''Bomber Beagle''' looks a lot like Bankjob in that he has a similar jawline and is very large. He appears in some episodes and is more intelligent than most of the other brothers. He is also a skilled pilot as seen in the episode "Top Duck" (episode 16).
* '''Backwoods Beagle''' is a small beagle about the size of Bigtime and Babyface, and the only Beagle who wears a full mustache. He has a strong Canadian accent and is the twin brother of Binky Beagle and Bacon Beagle.

* '''Bacon Beagle''' is the only Beagle Boy who is not a Beagle. Bacon is in fact a pig. When Glomgold asked how he could be a Beagle Boy, Backwoods explains that Bacon had a bad case of the [[swine flu]] as a child. Bacon cannot speak, but his oinks and grunts are, instead, translated by Backwoods Beagle.

====2017 Series Beagles====
In the [[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 reboot series]], the Beagle Boys are divided into several smaller gangs with Ma Beagle serving as the leader of all of them, as revealed in the episode "The Beagle Birthday Massacre!", and are all voiced by [[Eric Bauza]]. In the season two episode, "The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot!", it is revealed the feud between them and Scrooge McDuck originated from a battle between Duckburg's founder [[Cornelius Coot]] and the Beagles of that time. The latter attempted to attack a fort the former was holding, only to be tricked into retreating when Coot used popcorn makers to make the Beagles think he was everywhere at once. The fort would go on to become Fort Duckburg and strike up the feud for control of the land it was on. In a flashback depicted in the episode "The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck!", the Beagle Boys under Pappy Beagle temporarily took control of Fort Duckburg after stealing its deed, but Scrooge took it back from them, leading to a young Ma Beagle taking control of the gang from her father.

* '''Ma Beagle''' – The ringleader of all of the Beagle Boys and owner of their junkyard home. Contrary to her 1987 counterpart, she shows much less respect or affection for her sons.
* '''The Original Classics''' – A trio of Beagle Boys consisting of Bigtime, Burger, and Bouncer Beagle, all of whom debuted in the episode "Daytrip of Doom!" They depart drastically from their 1987 counterparts in that Bigtime is dumber than his original counterpart and has delusions of grandeur; Burger is tall, skinny, and mute; and Bouncer is now the same size as the 1987 Bankjob.
* '''The Glam Yankees''' – A trio of [[Colonial history of the United States|Colonial]] [[Yankee]]/[[glam rock]]-themed Beagle Boys.
* '''The Déjà Vus''' – A trio of French-themed Beagle Boys whose name provides a gag, as they are introduced by Ma Beagle three times, similar to real world [[Déjà vu]].
* '''The 6th Avenue Meanies''' – A trio of thuggish, brutish Beagle Boys led by '''Bad Attitude Beagle'''.
* '''The 6th Avenue Friendlies''' – A trio of [[Gentleman thief|well-mannered, dapper]] Beagle Boys led by '''Benevolent Beagle'''.
* '''The Longboard Taquitos''' – A trio of [[Stunt performer|daredevil]] Beagle Boys who ride on skateboards, wear [[wingsuit]]s, and speak with "surfer dude" accents.
* '''The Tumblebums''' – A trio of [[Goth (subculture)|Gothic]] [[circus]] Beagle Boys who primarily whistle instead of talking and consist of a muscular clown, a stilt-walker, and an acrobat. According to the other Beagles, they are rumored to be adopted.
* '''The Ugly Failures''' – A trio of unattractive, incompetent Beagle Boys consisting of '''Botched Job''', '''Bungle''', and '''Bottle Beagle'''.
* '''Black Arts Beagle''' – A Beagle Boy who works as a stage magician and differs from the others in that he has gray fur instead of tan.
* '''Broadway''' and '''Backfield Beagle''' – Two Beagle Boys who appear in the ''DuckTales'' comics with a [[movie director]] and [[American Football|football]] theme, respectively.
* '''Bomber''' and '''Butcher Beagle''' – Two [[ice hockey]] playing Beagles that also appear in the ''DuckTales'' comics.
* '''Grandpappy Beagle''' – Ma Beagle's grandfather who most notably stole the deed to Duckburg before Scrooge won it from him in an arm-wrestling match and crashed the first annual McDuck Enterprises Christmas party.
* '''Grandpappy's Gang''' – A trio of Beagle Boys consisting of Bankjob, Babyface, and Bugle Beagle.
* '''Pappy Beagle''' – Ma Beagle's father who led the Beagle Boys in taking Fort Duckburg until Scrooge defeated him in an arm-wrestling match and Ma took control of the gang in response.
* '''Big Tech Beagle''' - A technologically literate Beagle Boy similar to Megabyte Beagle from the 1987 series.

===''Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers''===
The Beagle Boys appeared as [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]]'s henchmen in the film ''[[Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers]]''. There are only three Beagle Boys in the film, one of them noted for being short (however, unlike Big Time, he was not the leader but more or less the "idiot" of the group), with gray skin and black hoods. They decide to depose [[Minnie Mouse|Princess Minnie]] so Pete could become king. They were shown to be much more dangerous compared to their original ''DuckTales'' counterparts. These Beagle Boys were collectively voiced by [[Jeff Bennett]] and [[Maurice LaMarche]].

These versions of the Beagle Boys appear in the video game ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''.
