The Beagle Boys are characters slated to make their debut in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. They appear in the Country of the Musketeer world, where they serve as the henchmen of Captain Pete, the corrupt leader of the musketeers.

Development

The Beagle Boys were first confirmed to appear in the 2012 Jump Festa trailer. They are the second characters in the series to originate from a direct-to-video film, the first being Experiment 221.

Appearance

The Beagle Boys differ only in size and attitude, since their attire is the same, that of black uniforms with dark brown hooded cloaks. They each sport a rapier used in 17th century France.

Origin

The Beagle Boys were created in 1951 by Carl Barks as recurring villains for Scrooge McDuck in the character's comic book stories. They are a clan of criminals who frequently attempt to rob Scrooge's Money Bin, a task they fail at more often than not. In the comics they usually bore no specific names, and did not have any specific physical differences other than their arrest card placards. Though they usually work alone (only with fellow Beagles), they have been known to team-up with other criminals like Magica de Spell, Pete, or Mad Madam Mim, or hire out their services to such as Flintheart Glomgold. The Beagle Boys later appeared as regular antagonists on the animated series DuckTales, where they were given individual designs and personalities.

In Mickey, Donald, and Goofy: The Three Musketeers, these particular Beagle Boys are first seen at Princess Minnie's palace trying to drop a safe onto her. Their attempt fails, and they run off to tell their boss, who is revealed to be Pete, the captain of the Royal Musketeers. Pete is outraged by the Beagle Boys as the original plan was to capture the princess. The boys are then banished to a pit as punishment while the pit is actually adequate. Later on the Beagle Boys's plans to kidnap Minnie are thwarted by Mickey, Donald and Goofy, who are now Musketeers. Time restrictions force Pete's plan to take place at the grand opera where Mickey, Donald and Goofy reveal to survive their planed deaths and battle the Beagles. Pete interferes and seemingly murders Donald and Goofy along with the Beagles. Pete feels no remorse for the loss of his henchmen and continues with his plans. The Beagles are not seen or mentioned for the rest of the film.
