Pip

Pip is the secondary tritagonist of the 2007 Disney animated/live-action film Enchanted and its 2022 sequel Disenchanted. He is a chipmunk and a close friend of Giselle.
==Appearances==
===Enchanted===
Pip first appears at Giselle's hollow tree house and (but not quite) saves her from a troll. When Narissa pushes Giselle into a well, Pip witnesses this and rushes to alert Prince Edward. They travel to New York City the next day, but as soon as Pip arrives, he realizes that he is barely able to speak. He figures out Narissa and Nathaniel's evil plot to kill Giselle and tries to warn Prince Edward, but Edward misinterprets all of his movements. Pip is then captured by Nathaniel but manages to escape and find Giselle to tell her about Prince Edward.
He becomes captured again when Nathaniel finds him and traps him in a plastic ball. However, he manages to escape and roll his way up to the Woolworth Building. Prince Edward releases him, and he immediately rushes up to help Giselle and Robert defeat Narissa.
After everything was over, he returns to Andalasia and publishes a book about his experience in New York, which turns him into a celebrity.
===Disenchanted===
Pip is the narrator of the sequel, telling the story to his two children, Kip and Skip, for bedtime.
In the sequel, Pip returns to the real world when Giselle is conflicted about her life not being as idyllic as she had hoped. When Giselle makes a wish to have a fairytale life in Monroeville, Pip regains his ability to speak. However, as the spell transforms Giselle into a wicked stepmother, Pip likewise becomes her villainous right-hand cat. As the hours go by, the wish corrupts Pip making him fully evil. He does Giselle's evil bidding by stealing the Wand of Wishes back from Queen Malvina Monroe. When Giselle enters the ball, she leaves Pip behind in the carriage. Believing that she didn't do it on purpose, Pip asks to be let out, but when no one answers, he attempts to escape through the carriage window, but because of his weight, he cannot get out. After Morgan restores Giselle's memories, Pip turns back into a chipmunk and scurries his way back to Giselle, but as it gets closer to midnight, all the magic of Andalasia begins to fade away, including himself.
After everything returns to normal, Pip finishes the story, tucks his two children into bed and goes to sleep himself.

==Trivia==
*Pip is probably based on Timothy Q. Mouse in Dumbo. Like Timothy, he assists the hero, and (in his animated form) speaks with a New York accent.
*Jeff Bennett‘s voice for Pip is the same voice he uses for Ace in The Powerpuff Girls.
*Pip was inspired by wisecracking Disney sidekicks, like Mushu the dragon from Mulan and Timon the Meerkat from The Lion King.
*In a deleted scene where Nathaniel decides to stand up to Narissa with Pip walking behind in his plastic ball, he is heard shouting "I'm walkin' here!" in a parody of Dustin Hoffman from Midnight Cowboy.
*In Disenchanted, when Pip enters the real world, his squeaks actually resemble full sentences and are transcribed as such in the closed-captioning, unlike the first film, where his squeaks were mostly gibberish, with the occasional recognizable word sprinkled in.
