1764. Swamp Rat

Swamp Rat is voiced by Jeff Bennett


Swamp Rat is one of the many creatures that live in the swamp that borders the Dearly Farm; though unlike many of the swamps other denizens, he has taken a keen interest in the outside world and he often attempts to barter with other individuals in order to acquire strange and unusual objects that come from civilization. It is for this reason that Swamp Rat has become a close acquaintance to many of the individuals in the Dearly Farm, including the Dearly Dalmatians, as if they ever need to purchase something, they can usually acquire it at his store, for a very steep price. However, Swamp Rat isn’t picky about what people give him in exchange for his objects, as he’ll take anything, including chicken feathers, dog collars, dog dishes and even other animals. What he does with the objects he acquires is uncertain, though it seems he more than likely sells the objects to other animals in exchange for different objects, in which he adds anything he specifically wants to his personal collection, as was demonstrated in several episodes of the series.

Swamp Rat’s ethics are highly questionable and he isn’t afraid of tricking other people into making a bad deal. He has a bad reputation for trying to con others into giving up their valuables and he often manipulates people into actually helping him do his dirty work, which is why Steven and Cydne serve as his henchmen. There have also been instances where Swamp Rat will take over a building in order to throw a party, in which all of the guests are forced to pay an admission fee, which is just another example of how Swamp Rat’s store has continued to thrive, despite being in the middle of the swamp. However, there is little that Lieutenant Pug can do in order to stop Swamp Rat, as since Swamp Rat is a creature of means, he has a larger influence in many of the events on the Dearly Farm than most people realize. Despite the fact that he knows people don’t like him, Swamp Rat continues to do what he does as he realizes he’s untouchable, for as long as he holds a monopoly in regards to his store, the animals who dislike him will be forced to come to him when they need to acquire something.

112. Patch

Patch is the most prominent of the Dalmatian puppies in 101 Dalmatians. He is a small puppy with a large black patch over one of his eyes, hence his name. He feels lonely and left-out oftentimes with his family, thinking that he's just one of the famous 101 dalmatians, and longs for a chance to become separate and leave the shadow of his brothers and sisters. He is a good pup, very adventurous, bold, and strong-minded.

Patch may be the most mischievous of the 99 puppies. Like his siblings, he is playful and cute, but he can get rather wild, often fantasizing about mauling the villain Dirty Dawson from the Thunder Bolt television series. He looks up to his father as his role model especially after he was rescued by them. When attacked by Jasper and Horace, Patch was the only one of the puppies to attempt to fight back. He also holds a small rivalry with Lucky. He and Lucky are very similar in personality, however there are a few differences. Lucky is confident and arrogant as apposed to Patch who is insecure and humble. Lucky is apperently considered the favorite of the pups, this could be part of their rivalry.

Patch is first seen in the film watching television with his brother and sisters. Patch seems to be addicted to the t.v. show Thunderbolt and interacts with it. After Patch and the puppies are put to sleep they are kidnapped by Jasper and Horace, henchmen to Cruella De Vil who seeks their skin to create coats. Patch's parents journey to save their puppies and Patch escapes with the rests. When needing to get past Cruella, Patch and his brother Lucky get into an argument and push each other in a fireplace and are covered in sot. This gives his father the idea to disguise themselves. Eventually they returned and Patch is safe at home with his family.
