Adelbert

Adelbert is the main antagonist of Mickey Mouse Short, Mickey's Good Deed, and the main protagonist in A Goof Troop Christmas Carol.

In the short film, Adelbert is reduced to the secondary antagonist now, where he’s a comic relief character without the darker side in Mickey's Good Deed now. He’s less brainy, less sinister, and is very chicken-hearted (probably due to his manner of death in the first film), threatened, pusillanimous, reluctant, and neurotic.

In the TV series, he is now more of an anti-hero than an actual villain.

In the final film, he is now merely cold-blooded and miserly, until he reforms to turn against Merlock

Trivia


 * In Elmo's Christmas Carol, despite the fact that Adelbert saves the world from destroying the giant whistle and foiling Merlock's plans, Adelbert is not fully reformed. Though he acts much nicer to Elmo and his friends and family, and especially Don, he still somewhat threatens his henchmen and almost punching them, preventing one of them from hugging him. He even says to the group to not expect his reformed behavior to last very long as he still has a business to run at the curio shop.
