This list has been prepared by Rich Bellacera (last update: 10/03/92)

      LISTING OF DISNEY'S PAST & PRESENT DTA & DC REOCCURING CHARACTERS

This listing is a fairly exhaustive compilation of current and recent, new and
some old Disney Characters based on the "mainstream" characters (i.e. Mickey,
Donald, Pluto, etc.), Syndicated cartoons (i.e. Ducktales, Tailspin, etc.), to
include subordinate characters with re-occuring roles.  This list is probably
not as complete as I'd like it to be and I welcome any possible suggestions,
alterations, etc. you may have (no flames please).  Some are Comic book/strip
related. Also, some characters like Donald Duck, Goofy, Bad Pete & Launchpad
fit several groupings so I limited their entry to the main grouping I believe
best suits them (except where the category disclaimer applies).  Characters
identified by a ~ mark have only appeared in comics so far.

NOTE: DTA = Disney Television Animation & DC = Disney Comics

(NOTE:  Minnie 'n Me & the Disney Babies are currently merchandising lines of
characters designed for pre-teens and toddlers, respectively, and, of course,
their parents.  Also, it would seem that the trio of Minnie/Daisy/Penny are
comparable to that of Mickey/Donald/Goofy.  Category discaimer applies).

ROGER RABBIT:                                                               RR

(NOTE:  All of the above creatures live on an island called "Wuz", hense the
name Wuzzles.  Each is a composite animal: Bumblelion = Bummblebee & Lion, and

USA).

CHIP 'n DALE RESCUE RANGERS:                                               C&D

Monterey "Monty" Jack            Wart  (lizard)    Percy the Thug

Zipper the Fly                   Snout (rat)       Plato the Policedog

(NOTE:  Chip 'n Dale were originally created as foils for Donald, but due to
tremendous requests they were soon granted their own cartoon shorts.  Now,
however they have graduated to a syndicated program.
Since most early accounts have Chip 'n Dale encountering Donald Duck it is
possible that they reside somewhere just outside or near Duckburg, though
their interaction with "humans" might actually suggest some other locale).

TALESPIN:                                                                   TS

Molly Cunngingham         Dumptruck          Klang
  a.k.a. "Dangerwoman"    Mad Dog            Colonel Spigot
Wildcat                   Ratchet            Sergeant Dunder

(NOTE:  The main characters of Baloo, Louie and even Shere Kahn originated
from the Disney classic THE JUNGLE BOOK.  It would appear that the role of
Mowgli has been replaced by Kit since he and Baloo use the familiar
affectionate nicknames of "Lil' Britches" and "Pappa Bear".
Rebecca manages an airfreight agency under the name "Higher for Hire" in the
city by the sea, Cape Suzette.  Baloo & Kit fly the plane The SeaDuck for the
Agency.  Louie the Ape manages a tavern and Shere Kahn is a magnate).

(NOTE: This is the first "spin-off" series, having its roots in DUCKTALES.

"Double-0 Duck" that appeared in Ducktales, and the plan for Launchpad to move
to the new series was set from the start.  D.W. and the rest are residents of
the the spralling metropolis of St. Canard).

GOOF TROOP:                                                                 GT

Max (Goofy, jr.)         Wilbur the Grasshopper*

(NOTE:  Characters/names identified by an "*" signify names that do not
necessarily apply to the series GOOF TROOP, but they were included since they
are definitely part of Goofy's career in both animation and comics.  "@"
signifies the name by which Goofy was originally called during the beginning
of his career in both animation and comics, only later was it changed to
Goofy.  "#" signifies a name which Disney called Goofy in the many shorts
where he portrayed Mr. Average Middle-American Suburbanite.  SuperGoof is his
superhero name whenever he wears his red longjohns/blue cape after eating his
Super Goobers <peanuts> he keeps under his hat).   The premise of show GOOF
TROOP seems to be Goofy is a single father raising his son Max.  GOOF TROOP
picks up on the long-standing fued between Goofy & Bad Pete.  Pete is married
and he & his wife, Peg have two children P.J. and Pistol.  Max & P.J. are
best friends, and Max is a little uneasy about being known as Goofy Junior.
Traditionally Goofy has always lived in the same hometown as Mickey, but
according to the new series Goofy has moved to Spoonerville.

from Toontown in the tradition of Roger Rabbit.  His current career has led
him to team-up with the human, Miranda Wright.  Currently Bonkers is show-
cased in RAW TOONAGE, but he is scheduled to graduate to the DISNEY AFTERNOON
probably in 1993 or 94).

host tapped from any Disney cartoon source(?), a "He's Bonkers!" episode, a
Totally Tasteless Video (TTV) short subject, and a "Marsupilami" (MAR) short.

*******************************CUT HERE***************************************

The above listing still has several gaps.  If anyone has any comments of
corrections or even additions I would be happy to discuss them.

Please keep in mind the three qualifiers I have for this list is:

1) the character has appeared in a comic or cartoon more than twice, and/or
2) the character is above average in importance to other characters on the
   list (which may remove the necessity of qualifier #1).
3) Characters should not be included just because they are someone's favorite
   if they have had only one appearance and then are forgotten.

Thank you.  Your input would be most welcome.

Also, some of the commentary may be deleted or modified as information
changes.
