Although Peg Leg Pete's debut dates back to 1925 in ''{{w|Alice Comedies|Alice Solves the Puzzle}}'' in which he was portrayed as a bear-like creature, it was not until ''{{w|Steamboat Willie}}'' in 1928 that he made his first full-fledged appearance as Mickey Mouse's feline antagonist. Despite this, he holds the distinction of being the oldest surviving Disney character. Coincidentally, Pete's role in ''Steamboat Willie'' is relatively minor compared to Mickey and Minnie, appearing only at the beginning to throw Mickey back onto the deck to work, and at the very end when he stops Mickey and Minnie from their mischief and punishes Mickey by ordering him to peel potatoes. | Although Peg-Leg Pete's debut dates back to 1925 in ''{{w|Alice Comedies|Alice Solves the Puzzle}}'' in which he was portrayed as a bear-like creature, it was not until ''{{w|Steamboat Willie}}'' in 1928 that he made his first full-fledged appearance as Mickey Mouse's feline antagonist.

While most portrayals of Pete give him an antagonistic role, in some cartoons, he was shown to have a somewhat caring side, including to his children in the show Goof Troop, his son in the Goofy Movies, and in the children's show ''{{w|Mickey Mouse Clubhouse}}''. His design in the Country of the Musketeers is based on his look from the film ''Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers'', in which he is the main antagonist. | While most portrayals of Pete give him an antagonistic role, in some cartoons, he was shown to have a somewhat caring side, including to his children in the show Goof Troop, his son in the Goofy Movies, and in the children's show ''{{w|Mickey Mouse Clubhouse}}''.
