Peter (Peter and the Wolf)

Peter is a young pioneer, and the protagonist of the musical story, Peter and the Wolf, which is also a segment of Disney's 8th full-length animated feature film, Make Mine Music. In the 1993 Prokofiev Fantasy variant of the story, he is played by Henry Feagins.
==Background==
===Personality===
Peter is an adventurous boy who wants to live his life outside sometimes. He gets irritated when the bird chirps so loud, when reading, because he covers his ears. Like Snow White and Cinderella, he's gentle and kind to the Duck when they first met. He gets slightly frustrated when the duck dived into the pond with a big splash that got Peter wet. His attention of noticing a cat crawling thru the grass shows that he's a little distracted. He's mischievous when he reveals a puppet wolf by defying his grandfather, because a wolf might come out of the forest. But he isn't scared when he stood behind the locked gate, and saw the Wolf staring at the cat and bird. He even shows bravery by lowering down a rope while the bird distracts the Wolf.
In Make Mine Music, his grandfather forbids him to go out to hunt the wolf. However, Peter manages to sneak outside with his popgun when he finds his grandfather asleep. He shows kindness to teach Sonia to be a great wolf hunter, when they first met. He also shows great fear when he first comes face-to-face with the wolf and mourns with the rest of the gang when the wolf supposedly eats Sonia. He later shows bravery by lowering down Ivan with a rope to save Sasha from getting eaten by the wolf.
==History==
===Original Novel===
Early, one morning, Peter opened the gate and went out into the big green meadow. There, on a branch of a big tree, he met his bird friend, who chirped, "All is quiet". A duck came waddling around. She was glad that Peter had not closed the gate, and decided to take a swim in the deep pond in the meadow. Watching the bird, upon the grass, and the duck argue made Peter notice a cat crawling thru the grass. He thinks the Cat is gonna eat the bird. As the cat pounced at the bird, he immediately flew up into the tree, while the duck quacked angrily at the cat, from the safety in the middle of the pond. The cat wondered if he would climb up the tree, in order to catch the bird. But Peter's grandfather came out and said to Peter angrily, "The Meadow is a dangerous place. If a wolf should come out of the forest, what would you do then?" Peter defied him that boys like him are not afraid of wolves. But his grandfather took Peter by the hand, locked the gate, and led him home.
Soon, he stood behind the gate witnessing a Wolf staring at the cat and the bird who's up on the tree. But the Duck wasn't around. He grabbed a rope and climbed up a high stone wall, and onto the tree. He commanded the bird to distract the wolf. But the bird had to take care so that the wolf doesn't catch him. While the bird distracted the wolf Peter made a lasso with his rope and lowered it down to where the wolf was, and caught him by the tail, before he can pull. The wolf gave up on jumping wildly, trying to get loose as Peter tied the other end of the rope to the tree. 
The hunters came out of the woods, following the wolf's trail. Peter asked them to help him take the wolf to the zoo. As they took the wolf to the zoo, Grandfather said to Peter, "If you hadn't caught the wolf, what would've happened?" Everyone could hear the duck quacking inside the wolf, because the wolf in his hurry, had swallowed her alive. Again.
===Make Mine Music Remake===
When Peter is scolded and spanked by his grandfather, who forbids him to go wolf hunting, his cap and popgun are taken from him. However, as soon as his grandfather falls asleep in his chair by the fireplace, Peter manages to get his things back and sneak outside. He later befriends Sasha, Sonia, and Ivan, who accompany him on his wolf hunt. He panics when he first encounters the wolf, and inadvertently shoots its nose with his popgun before fleeing from it. He mourns with the rest of the gang when the wolf supposedly eats Sonia, and later shows bravery when he lowers down Ivan with a rope, which he ties to the wolf's tail to save Sasha from getting eaten. When Sasha later brings back some hunters, they notice that Peter and Ivan have already captured the wolf. Peter can be seen leading the parade at the end of the segment. Afterwards, Sonia, who survived and hid in the hallow tree, with Sasha, caught up with the parade. And now, Peter can go hunting whatever he likes.
