Even MORE Disney weasels

[silverblaze]

I remember him (in a distant memory, but still). I think Smarmy fits him just fine.

[Fatal hilarity]

I have all the online videos I could find linked to in an earlier post in this thread, in case you want to acquaint yourself with any of the weasels who were actually animated.

[silverblaze]

I'll keep them in mind when I need to find more information on them.

It's quite interesting to find out that weasels (Toons) sort of had their own history. I never thought about it at as I studied in school about our future technology.

[Fatal hilarity]

It's a history that was largely accidental and unnoticed- God knows just how aware each of these artists and animators were of each other's creations... I mean, most people only know about Mr. Toad, the Woozles, maybe Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Prince and the Pauper, and of course WFRR when it comes to Disney's weasels. It's very likely that the artists only has these as reference.
And yet... so much has been attributed to them despite all that. I can't figure out why...

[silverblaze]

Huh...Maybe some day, when I'm older, I should find some of these artist and ask them....

[Fatal hilarity]

Oy... good luck with that, if you can even find out what their names are... some of them might be dead!

Okay, here are the latest additions to the guide. Special thanks to Viles!

This is placed at the end of The Prince and the Pauper section.

Interestingly enough, we see a bit more variety in the video game adaptation- the final level of the decidedly nostalgic Mickey Mania. One of the variations, who fires arrows with a crossbow at our hero, looks suspiciously like Stupid. Another one, who sneaks around on tiptoes and throws daggers, is much more ordinary- like a more comical version of Smarta**.
Another generic one appears at the beginning of Mickey’s Ultimate Challenge. You wouldn’t give him a second thought if it weren’t for the fact that Mickey (or Minnie) speaks peacefully with him, and doesn’t at all assume that he’s guarding an evil castle. In fact, he seems to be a guard for the good guys- namely, characters from The Prince and the Pauper. Mickey even offers to help the kingdom with its troubles, and the weasel calls him “noble”. Who’d-a thunk it?
There are also weasels inspired by this featurette in early levels of the fantasy-themed video game Legend of Illusion (also starring Mickey), who seem to just be sort of standing or walking around waiting to be attacked. At the end, you can see ex-King Pete and one of these weasels at a prison rock quarry in classic black-and-white prison stripes.

This one's in between Wacky and "Weasel" of Magical Tetris Challenge.

“Torchy” (named by Viles)
“Hardhead” (named by me)
“Chilly” (named by Viles)
The Great Circus Mystery (SNES)
The weasels are working for Pete again for some reason, and surprisingly, they are represented by three distinctive mini-bosses this time around.
The first is in the the circus-themed level, which is also the first level, since the plot centers around the circus anyway. The weasel here is a clown, wearing an orange and blue suit, juggling flaming torches. Even though they’re torches, he seems to be touching the flames while only wearing standard toon gloves, and he can throw them at Mickey in formation, and then retrieve them. It almost seems like he has have power over fire... although you could probably chalk it up to the limited technology of the time.
He makes a second appearance later in the game as well.
The second is a guy in a yellow and green miner’s uniform and helmet, bouncing around on a jackhammer in the cave level.
The third wears a green and white eskimo outfit, and spins around in some spiky barrel made out of ice. Yeah, I don’t really get it, either.

Cool.

Can I ask a question?

There was this comic issue Roger Rabbit's Toon Town and there was some weasel that looks like Smartguy but was dress in a red suit with a purple tie but has that jewel on his tie. Could that be Smartguy?

Fatal: Do you suppose that some weasels could control a certain element or have telepathic abilities? Such as some humans do?

And what's this?:

Is that Smartass? Badly drawn, yes, but it can't be anyone else. This is HUGE- at long last, have we finally found a story about the Toon Patrol besides WFRR and Car Toon Spin??

(I can't help but wonder what excuse they have for him being alive again, though...)

Seeing as we don't have the full comic yet, I can't really say much.

I don't see why not. With toons, anything's possible, after all.

[Viles]

Huzzah for the new entries! :3 I agree with Chilly and his weird ice thingy wholeheartedly. It's silly, but back when I was a child and played it, I didn't give it a second thought...

In case you're interested, the castle inhabitants in "Mickey's Ultimate Challenge" are:
Horace Horsecollar as seen in "The Prince and the Pauper", who asks you to sort some books in the library. Apparently his eyesight is bad, according to him...
Huey, Dewey and Louie seem to operate the castle's drawbridge. The device is broken and you have to hit certain switches in a certain order- I hated that one on 'Hard' difficulty as a child!
Donald Duck as a magician. He accidentally shrinks you.
Daisy Duck as... I'm not sure, she asks you to remove dust from the royal paintings. A game of memory.
Goofy as a repairman or something, he's playing a round of Mastermind with you.

And the cause of the earthquakes? A giant's snoring.


I am currently checking the third "Magical Quest" game for more weasels, but it doesn't look like there are any so far. More info later...~

Edit: Nope. Pete has two wolves, a dog and some other things, but no weasels. There are some animal enemies that look like weasels and ermines, though...

I wish I could see the whole comic with that badly drawn Smarty. Looks interesting.
And good to see the Disney weasel dictionary is expanding Good works!

[Fatal hilarity]

I've already gone through the game to check for more, but thanks anyway.

I'll definitely be buying that issue eventually. According to that website, it's issue twelve of the Roger Rabbit series. Luckily, the place I buy comics sells them for pretty cheap, so as soon as I make a little more money I might be able to get it... after all, I haven't been buying Roger Rabbit's Toontown in order. I bought those knowing there'd be weasels in them...

I mean, it is a pretty big deal to see one of the Toon Patrol, the guys that started this whole insanity, appear in something besides a version of WFRR and Car Toon Spin. I can't help but wonder when it would take place... if the story is as good as the awful drawing, then it might be easy to have it take place before WFRR...

Cool.

You are soo lucky Fatal. Where I live there use to be a comic store in Garden State Mall until they rebuild it to some other store. I couldn't even find Roger Rabbit series anywhere.

So how much does it cost?

[Fatal hilarity]

I buy them online from here:
www.mycomicshop.com/search?q=roger+rabbit&pubid=&PubRng=&GrdRng=
The issues are only about dollar or two each in near mint condition.
