== Non-anthropomorphic supporting characters == <!--Characters listed chronologically by their debut. With the exception of Chip 'n' Dale due to their role as major characters in the franchise.--> === Beppo the Gorilla === '''Beppo''' is a gorilla who first appeared in the short film ''[[The Gorilla Mystery]]'' (1930), where he escapes from the zoo and kidnaps Minnie, finally getting Mickey to rescue her and returning Beppo to the zoo. He reappeared in the short film ''[[Mickey's Mechanical Man]]'' (1933) as "The Kongo Killer", where he faces Champ, the mechanical man created by Mickey, in a boxing championship. His third and final appearance in a short film was in ''[[The Pet Store]]'' (1933), as a gorilla in a pet store, where he kidnaps Minnie in [[King Kong]] style. Beppo appears in the video game ''[[Epic Mickey]]'' (2010) fighting in a boxing ring against Champ just like in ''Mickey's Mechanical Man''. In the video game ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' (2019), Beppo appears as an enemy in the "Mickey's Mechanical Man" minigame, based on in the short film of the same name. ===Tanglefoot=== '''Tanglefoot''' is Mickey's broken-down but loyal horse, introduced in a 1933 comic strip storyline, ''Mickey Mouse and His Horse Tanglefoot''.<ref name=TanglefootBook>{{cite book |last1=Gottfredson |first1=Floyd |title=Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse, vol 2: Trapped on Treasure Island |date=2011 |publisher=Fantagraphics Books |location=Seattle, WA |isbn=9781606994955|pages=171–206}}</ref> The horse character returned in two more stories and was so popular at the time that in 1934 [[Western Publishing]] released six [[Big Little Books]] related to Tanglefoot.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Kaufman |first1=J.B. |title=The Tanglefoot Chronicles: A Case Study |volume=3 |url=https://www.awn.com/mag/issue3.8/3.8pages/3.8kaufmantanglefoot.html |access-date=21 July 2019 |issue=8 |publisher=Animation World Magazine |date=November 1988}} The six books are: ''Mickey Mouse At the Carnival'', ''Mickey Mouse's Misfortune'', ''Mickey Mouse and Tanglefoot'', ''Mickey Mouse's Uphill Fight'', ''Mickey Mouse Will Not Quit'', and ''Mickey Mouse Wins the Race''.</ref> === Fifi the Peke === '''Fifi the Peke''' is Minnie's "prize pooch" and Pluto's girlfriend. In one cartoon (''[[Pluto's Quin-puplets]]'') Pluto and Fifi even had five puppies together. One of them was eventually named [[Pluto Junior]]. Later on, Fifi was replaced as Pluto's girlfriend by [[#Dinah_the_Dachshund|Dinah the Dachshund]]. Fifi disappeared from animation, but she did appear in the line of merchandise called "Minnie 'n Me" as Minnie's dog. She eventually returned to animation in the ''[[Mickey Mouse (TV series)|Mickey Mouse]]'' episode "You, Me and Fifi", and later appeared in ''[[Chip 'n' Dale: Park Life]]'' where her vocal effects are provided by Cindy Lee Delong. === Bobo the Elephant === '''Bobo''' is a baby elephant who has appeared as a pet of Mickey Mouse in at least two stories. He was first featured in a self-titled storyline in the Mickey Mousenewspaper comic strip. In the story, Mickey mistakenly purchases Bobo at an auction. [[#Eli Squinch|Eli Squinch]], also making his first appearance in that story, convinces Mickey that he is Bobo's rightful owner. However, Eli actually intends to use Bobo to run his sawmill to save on electricity, using a treadmill which had already killed two horses. Mickey and Horace Horsecollar stall Eli's repossession of Bobo until the baby pachyderm discovers his mother is in a visiting circus. Bobo runs away and is reunited with his mother. Bobo's only animated appearance was in 1936's ''[[Mickey's Elephant]]''. He is given to Mickey by the Rajah of Gahboon. Disney had planned to make Bobo into a recurring character, but nothing ever came of the idea. Storyboard sketches of a planned cartoon featuring Bobo, titled Spring Cleaning, were printed in the book Mickey Mouse: The Floyd Gottfredson Library – Volume 3: Showdown at Inferno Gulch. Bobo returned in the ''[[Mickey Mouse (TV series)|Mickey Mouse]]'' episode "Safari, So Good". ===Figaro=== '''Figaro''' is Minnie's pet cat who first appeared in Disney's animated film ''[[Pinocchio (1940 film)|Pinocchio]]''. He sometimes gets along with Pluto. === Butch the Bulldog === [[File:Butch and Pluto.jpg|thumb|200px|Butch (left) along with Pluto in his debut in ''Bone Trouble'']] '''Butch the Bulldog''' is Pluto's nemesis. He first appeared in the film ''[[Bone Trouble]]'' (1940), where Pluto tried to steal his bone. Ever since then, Butch has been antagonizing Pluto. Sometimes, Butch competes with Pluto for the affections of Dinah the Dachshund. At one point, Butch even antagonized [[Figaro the Kitten]] (''[[Figaro and Frankie]]'', 1947). The rest of his filmography includes ''[[T-Bone for Two]]'' (1942), ''[[Canine Casanova]]'' (1945), ''[[Pluto's Kid Brother]]'' (1946), ''[[The Purloined Pup]]'' (1946), ''[[Pluto's Housewarming]]'' (1947), ''[[Pluto's Purchase]]'' (1948), ''[[Pluto's Sweater]]'' (1949), ''[[Pluto's Heart Throb]]'' (1950), and ''[[Wonder Dog (Disney short)|Wonder Dog]]'' (1950).<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|url=http://disneyshorts.org/characters/b/butch.html |title=Butch, the Bulldog |access-date=2009-02-09 |encyclopedia=The Encyclopedia of Disney Shorts |publisher=disneyshorts.org |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090209205058/http://disneyshorts.org/characters/b/butch.html |archive-date=2009-02-09}}</ref> His owner never appeared in the short films. Butch's vocal effects in these shorts are provided by [[Jimmy MacDonald (sound effects artist)|Jimmy MacDonald]]. Butch appears in the "Robocat" episode of ''[[Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (TV series)|Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers]]'' voiced by [[Jim Cummings]]. This version can speak in a gangster accent and assists the Rescue Rangers when dealing with Fat Cat's gang. Butch is also a recurring character in the television series ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'' and ''[[House of Mouse]]'' with his vocal effects provided by [[Frank Welker]]. He appears as a rival to Pluto in the cartoons starring him. In ''[[Mickey Mouse Clubhouse]]'' and ''[[Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures]]'', [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]] is shown as Butch's owner and is depicted with brown fur. Butch's vocal effects are also provided by Frank Welker here. Butch appears in ''[[Chip 'n' Dale: Park Life]]'' with his vocal effects provided by David Gasman. === Salty the Seal === '''Salty the Seal''' is a seal who shows up in typical seal locations (the circus, the beach, the zoo, the Arctic) and annoys Pluto into chasing him, causing Pluto to get into dangerous predicaments. Salty typically saves him, leading Salty and Pluto to become best friends—until Salty's ''next'' appearance, when the cycle begins again. Salty's debut was in ''[[Pluto's Playmate]]'' (1942), later returning in ''[[Rescue Dog]]'' (1947) and the particularly famous ''[[Mickey and the Seal]]'' (1948). Salty also has appearances in the television series ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'', ''[[House of Mouse]]'' and ''[[Mickey Mouse Clubhouse]]''. === Dinah the Dachshund === '''Dinah the Dachshund''' appears as [[Pluto (dog)|Pluto]]'s girlfriend although she sometimes dates [[#Butch_the_Bulldog|Butch the Bulldog]] as well. She first appears in ''[[The Sleepwalker (1942 film)|The Sleepwalker]]''. In ''[[Canine Casanova]]'', when she winds up in the dog pound, Pluto saves the day, becomes Dinah's hero and the two start dating. In other cartoons such as ''[[In Dutch]]'', ''[[Pluto's Heart Throb]]'' and ''[[Wonder Dog (Disney short)|Wonder Dog]]'', the two engage in further romance, often with Butch the Bulldog as Pluto's romantic rival. Dinah has more recently appeared in several cartoon shorts in the anthology series ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'' and ''[[House of Mouse]]'', where ''Pluto's Arrow Error'' shows Dinah as Butch's girlfriend first with no serious interest in Pluto. === Dolores the Elephant === '''Dolores the Elephant''' is an [[Asian elephant]] belonging to [[Goofy]]. She debuted in the short film ''[[Tiger Trouble]]'' (1945), serving as a mount to Goofy during a tiger hunt. She appeared a second time in ''[[The Big Wash]]'' (1948), as a circus elephant that Goofy was trying to give a bath. Her third and last appearance in a short film was in ''[[Working for Peanuts]]'' (1953), as an elephant in a zoo from whom [[Chip and Dale]] try to steal her peanuts, and [[Donald Duck|Donald]], who was her caretaker, tried to stop the chipmunks. Dolores was named after [[Walt Disney]]'s secretary, Dolores Voght.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://d23.com/a-to-z/big-wash-the-film/ |title=Big Wash, The (film) - D23 |website=d23.com |date=September 5, 2015}}</ref> === Bent-Tail the Coyote === '''Bent-Tail the Coyote''' is a desert coyote and an opponent against Pluto. He always tries to get some food which Pluto is guarding (mostly livestock), but fails every time. He made his first appearance in ''[[The Legend of Coyote Rock]]'' trying to get at a flock of sheep. From the second short ''[[Sheep Dog (film)|Sheep Dog]]'' onward he has a son who works with him. His last two starring shorts are ''[[Pests of the West]]'' and ''[[Camp Dog]]''. An older version of Bent-Tail later appeared in the ''[[Walt Disney anthology television series|Walt Disney presents]]'' episode "The Coyote's Lament", where he teaches his grandson (who is the offspring of Bent-Tail's son) how humans and dogs have put a coyote's life in misery. Bent-Tail and his son also appeared in several Disney comics. === Pflip === '''Pflip''' is Eega Beeva's pet "thnuckle-booh", a mixture of dog, cat, hippopotamus, unicorn, llama, rabbit, and possibly other animals as well. He has a color warning system that turns red to warn Eega of certain danger. === Louie the Mountain Lion === '''Louie the Mountain Lion''' is a [[mountain lion]] who appears as an occasional antagonist of Goofy and Donald. He is usually depicted in Donald Duck and Goofy shorts, in which he often chases after the main characters in an attempt to eat them. Unlike most Disney cartoon characters, Louie does not speak, but instead makes grunting or growling sounds representing satisfaction, disapproval, or anxiety. He is also shown to care deeply about food and is rather intelligent when it comes to planning schemes to obtain things he wants, though his attempts to execute his plans often end in comical failures. Louie's first appearance was in ''[[Lion Around]]'' where he attempts to eat Donald. In ''[[Hook, Lion and Sinker]]'', he is revealed to have a son. He later rivals Goofy in ''[[Lion Down]]'' and ''[[Father's Lion]]''. Louie again encounters Donald in ''[[Grand Canyonscope]]'' which reveals he is at least 90 years old (having been seen in the Grand Canyon during the US Civil War), in this short he acts as an antagonist towards both Donald and [[J. Audubon Woodlore]]. He also appears as a recurring character in ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'' and ''[[House of Mouse]]''. His classification as a non-anthropomorphic character may be debated, as he speaks in some comics. === Milton the Cat === '''Milton the Cat'''<ref>{{cite web |url=https://d23.com/a-to-z/milton/ |title=Milton - D23 |date=September 6, 2015 |website=d23.com }}</ref> is a red ginger Siamese cat and a rival of Pluto. He often competes with Pluto for food. He made his first appearance in the short ''[[Puss Cafe]]'' (1950) with his pal Richard. He next appears in the short ''[[Plutopia (film)|Plutopia]]'' (1951) where he talks in Pluto's dream, voiced by [[Jim Backus]]. He made a final appearance in the short ''[[Cold Turkey (1951 film)|Cold Turkey]]'' (1951) fighting with Pluto for a roast turkey but both of them ended up with nothing.
