Even MORE Disney weasels

[Fatal hilarity]

I just remembered... did anyone notice how the colorists seemed to decide that Pop Weasel was an ermine in the first story, what with his white fur and all?

EDIT: I put the scans of "Mickey Mouse on a Secret Mission" I found with Agent von Weasel, the Nazi, in my Photobucket account so it'd be easier for people to find:

(Note: Photobucket shrunk the comic book version a bit, but I figure it's good enough.)

For anybody who enjoyed that video of America Sings I posted a link to, you can see this rather brilliant piece of animation by a fan that turns the show into a cartoon! (Albeit an unfinished one.) So now you see the annoying, squeaky giggly weasel in hand-drawn form.

I must say, he makes the little guy seem a lot nastier... and therefore more weaselly.

[Fatal hilarity]

Okay, I just finished two more sections of my guide. They're in between Wacky Weasel and the salesman weasel from Mickey Mouse Works/House of Mouse.

Weasel
Magical Tetris Challenge (Nintendo 64)
If there is one thing that could be the worst of Crimes Against Weasels, it’s naming one of them just... plain... old... “Weasel”. Remaining unnamed, being given a generic personality or outfit, getting the snot kicked out of you... that’s all pretty familiar to a weasel. Remaining nameless at least gives you the chance to be nicknamed by fans like me. But of all names you could give a weasel, none could be stupider or more embarrassing than just “Weasel”. We could be merciful to the poor sap and say that the story in this game is merely another acting job for Mickey, thus rendering it fictional within the WFRR world and making it possible for him to have a real name, but his official name is “Weasel”.
Mr. Toad, Rat, and Mole are perfectly fine names, but that’s only because there’s only one of them. Weasels are most often seen in groups, so having them all named “Weasel” would be very much like naming all Australians “Bruce”.
Pete’s other minion, the Big Bad Wolf, or Zeke Wolf as he’s properly known, is given the same treatment, being merely called “Wolf” in several instances. It’s so obvious who he is, so there’s no real reason to call him that.
Once again, this weasel works for Pete, who has recently acquired a magical gem-like stone from a sunken spaceship (mind you, this is Toontown), and is using it to hypnotize our beloved Disney characters. What “Weasel” or “Wolf” are getting out of it is unclear, so my best guess is a position of power, when Pete has hypnotized everyone.
This weasel’s generic name isn’t helped by giving him the same old Mr. Toad design- a brown bowler with a red band, a bright red sweater with a yellow band, blue pants, and brown shoes- and a generic personality. He strikes a pose similar to one seen in the Mr. Toad weasel model sheet. For some reason he doesn’t recognize Mickey. (Seriously? What rock have you been living under?)
The only thing that really distinguishes him at all is the way he starts a game of Tetris- by greeting the player with a smile and a lift of the hat, as if to say “Howdy-do!” He also, in a more typically weaselly fashion, bursts into laughter when you lose, and falls over with a cala lily in his hands when you win. Usually that’s an indication of death, although more often than not it’s feigned death. He’s perfectly fine once you get to the cut scene, though, so maybe he’s being dramatic.

“Buzz” and at least one other weasel- nicknamed “Mel” (named by my brother)
An uncompleted “grand Disney project”
As I did a Google image search for toon weasels of any sort, I came across the website of an animator named Larry Ruppel. In his gallery/portfolio, I found these two drawings of weasels, both of which had the caption “Character sketch(es) created for a grand Disney Project.” One of them was named “Buzz”, with an appropriate flattop haircut (something never before seen on a Disney weasel), sneakers, and a cheerful grin that showed that he was ready and raring to go. The other looked almost exactly the same, except with a bigger belly and no hairdo or sneakers.
Obviously, I was both intrigued and confused, for I couldn’t possibly guess what he meant by a “grand Disney project”. Being the fanatic I am, I wondered if it meant a Roger Rabbit sequel, prequel, or what have you, which was the only thing I would dare call “grand”.
The first thing that struck me was how darn friendly these weasels looked- just as bad as, if not worse than that ol’ smilin’ eager-beaver Sidney, and far more upright-citizen-ish and cute than Beanie could ever hope to be, despite how explicitly good he is (although they’re perhaps not quite as cutesy as the Laughin’ Weasels). I also found it bothersome that the two were given extremely small bodies, making their heads look terribly out of proportion. What sort of weasels were these? Squeaky clean, declawed weasels for a new sanitized generation of children?
The mystery as to where they had come from and what they were for remained unsolved for a long time, until I finally got off my butt and actually wrote the guy an email. He told me that the project was being worked on over a decade ago (as of 2009), and that it was supposed to be something to do with online education, using “all new characters and environments”.
Well, that certainly explains why they look like such goody-two-shoes- they were meant for educational stuff. And everyone knows that edutainment just HAS to be bright and cheerful like Leave it to Beaver, right? I’m willing to bet that that’s what the project was going to be like, had it gotten off the ground. No self-respecting weasel (except these two, it would seem) would actually help children learn good and proper, so it’s just as well it didn’t happen. What role these two played exactly is unclear (perhaps I should’ve asked), but it’s easy to tell that it wasn’t going to be as bad guys...
At the very least their core design is typical of a weasel.

Also, here are online videos for any weasel anybody isn't able to see in my scans an images. I'm leaving out the "Heffalumps and Woozles" song and The Prince and the Pauper since I figure most of you have seen them. Also, some video games I've found don't have any videos without commentaries with a lot of swear words, so I'm omitting them for the sake of anybody who would object. Don't worry, I intend to get screenshots eventually.
I also couldn't find some of the House of Mouse episodes online.

Well, that's all of them, except for a few House of Mouse episodes (I'm surprised there were that many online in the first place)... Tell me if I've missed anything.

[cooper]

Good gosh, lotta links ._.

I still don't understand why none of the WFRR crew was there.

[Fatal hilarity]

Um... was where? I don't understand.
Do you mean that they're not in the guide, or in any other Disney work? All we have of the Toon Patrol is WFRR (including the graphic novel adaptation), a couple of children's books, and Car Toon Spin. I'm not really sure why they have so few appearances, but my best guess is that it's because they died in the movie.

[cooper]

Oh sorry, I meant in House of Mouse XD

[Fatal hilarity]

Well, Benny the Cab had at least a single cameo... a funny one, yes- but still, it's very small. WFRR really should've become a franchise like it deserves to be, I think.

[cooper]

Yeah, I see very few of the stuff online. Though one question, was it a bit hit, like box office or something similar, when it came out? Cause how much of an impact on the audience is a necessity to

[Fatal hilarity]

A quick check on the Wikipedia article says that it was the second-highest grossing film of the year, so I'd say it was a big hit. There was a pretty big Roger Rabbit craze for a while there, until Amblin objected to it for God knows what reason (I'm not sure where I heard that, so don't quote me).
The world that Roger Rabbit lives in one of the most brilliant fictional worlds ever created, and Roger is as good a cartoon character as any other major cartoon star, I think. I feel that the death of the Roger Rabbit franchise is what caused the slow death of the classic cartoon Renaissance.
The more I look at it, the more I see that so many more things could've been done in the classic cartoon style, if a lot of these projects had more success. Disney was thinking of doing a Mickey Mouse feature, for crying out loud! Nowadays it's kind of a enthusiast subculture that seems bigger in Europe.

And because of that, I think, Disney weasels never really had a chance.

[demoweasel]

Are you also counting the lone weasel from Magical Tetris Challenge and the trio from Mickey's Speedway USA?

[cooper]

Let me just sum up of what I think of that situation.

That sucks. But, excuse my brain inferiority, but who's Amblin?

That would be "The Weasels" for Mickey's Speedway USA, which was in this guide before you joined this forum, and "Weasel" for Magical Tetris Challenge, which is one of the two I just posted.

Amblin is Speilberg's production company, who co-produced it and pretty much owns half of the Roger Rabbit franchise.

[demoweasel]

Eheheh... sorry; it's what happens when I'm posting on a forum past midnight.

[Fatal hilarity]

I guess I'm lucky- I'm a real night owl.

[KrazyRandomness]

XD I'm with you on that.
