The Caterpillar is a character from Disney's 1951 feature film Alice in Wonderland. He was voiced by Richard Haydn, and is currently voiced by Corey Burton.

Personality

The Caterpillar smokes a hookah from which colorful smoke rises, forming letters, words, and even images that he refers to while speaking. He often over-enunciates certurn words such as 'exactly' and 'correctly'. The Caterpillar has a passion for recitation and grammar as well as a short temper which can easily be set off. A few times he also doesn't remember who he earlier talked to, as he asked who Alice was a few times.

Appearances

Alice in Wonderland

After leaving the Garden of Living Flowers, Alice comes across the Caterpillar singing and smoking. After a rather confusing conversation, and an angry transformation into a butterfly, the Caterpillar tells Alice to take part of a mushroom to grow larger and a part on the other side to grow smaller. The Caterpillar, in Butterfly form, later reappears when Alice is attempting to escape being beheaded by the denizens of Wonderland, only for him to ask who she is and blow smoke that warps her to a surreal smoke tunnel leading to the Doorknob.

House of Mouse

The Caterpillar appeared in the episodes "Big Bad Wolf Daddy" and "Donald Wants to Fly".
