Peter's Grandfather

Peter's grandfather is one of the main protagonists from Disney's 1946 short Peter and the Wolf, a segment of the 1946 feature film Make Mine Music.

Personality
Grandpa seems a bit rough, but it is because of the facts that he is living in Russia's cold winter with a dangerous Wolf running about and a grandson who thinks he can best the creature with a popgun.

Make Mine Music
He only appears toward the beginning of the segment. He stops Peter from going off to find the dastardly wolf with a popgun, spanks him mercilessly, and tells him that if he tries to go after the wolf, he could very well end up getting eaten. Then, when he slams him in the corner, he makes a wolf's evil fangs from his beard to show Peter the shadow puppet of the wolf on the wall. So, Peter turns around and tries to shoot it, but tricking him, he easily grabs his grandson's cap and popgun from him and storms off. However, when Grandpa falls asleep by the warm fire in his chair, Peter manages to get back his cap and popgun and sneak outside.

Trivia

 * Grandpa is represented in the music by a bassoon.
