Revision as of 02:46, 26 January 2014
The Weasels, Weasel Arrowmen are supporting antagonists who first appeared in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. They are a gang of crafty thieves and crooks who serve the interests of their boss, Mr. Winkie. However, because of their fast-moving hoodlum-like qualities, they appeared more often in later films as antagonists to Mickey and Friends, mostly employed as henchmen by more powerful villains.
Appearances
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
In their original film, the Weasels were hired by Mr. Winkie in an attempt to steal the deed to Toad Hall.
How to Be a Detective
A weasel thug tries to hinder Goofy's attempts to solve the "Al" case. Early on, he threatens Goofy with a gun. At another point, he serves Goofy a martini laced with a goofball and then leaves him to drown underwater with his feet set in concrete. During the car chase, the weasel tries to stop Goofy's car by covering the road with tacks, only for Goofy to sweep them out of the way with a broom. At another point during the chase, the weasel places a travel billboard in the path of the other cars, so that they will drive off the road. He also engages Peg Leg Pete in a shootout between the cars. Finally, at the end, he serves a parson for Pete (revealed as the missing Al) and the dame's wedding.
Mickey's Christmas Carol
Two of the weasels appeared as gravediggers for Tiny Tim's funeral, as well as Scrooge's funeral.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Though the weasels do not appear in the film, the Toon Patrol's designs are based off of them.
The Prince and the Pauper
They appeared as the henchmen of Pete and are supporting antagonists. They serve as the English King's military force but act more like ruthless crooks that constantly rob the poor, in the ill King's name. They also appear as the main enemies in the "Prince and the Pauper" level of Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse. There are two kinds of such enemies here, those who throw knives and those who shoot arrows from crossbows.
DuckTales
Two weasels appeared as Flint's henchmen in "Horse Scents", and two Australian weasels appeared in "Back Out in the Outback".
House of Mouse
In the episode "Pete's House of Villains", when he is put in charge of the House, Pete hires weasels as the waiters in place of the Penguin Waiters.
