{ Characters: Fidget }

Professor Ratigan's right-hand man, er, bat, Fidget is the culprit behind many of his master's commands including the kidnapping of toy maker Hiram Flaversham. Voiced by the gravel-sounding Candy Candido, Fidget makes a memorable screen appearance, enough to rate as one of the top Disney villains of all time. The character was intended for light, humorous moments, yet his devilish, gargoyle-like features have been known to frighten young viewers.


Like many sidekick villains, Fidget lacks in brain power and appears at times absent minded. It is this little failing that causes Basil to pick up a hot trail on Professor Ratigan's scheme. Two of his handicaps, a broken wing and peg leg, also land him into a bit of trouble when encountering the super sleuth.


Other aspects the little deviant falls prey to is the taste of alcohol (Rodent's Delight to be exact), watching pretty girls dance at a bar, and playing with wind-up toys. Although, he played with the toys to divert his enemies and make a clean get away!
