Gonzorgo and Roderigo are the secondary antagonists in Babes in Toyland.

Role in the film[]

Gonzorgo and Roderigo are two greedy mercenaries hired by Barnaby to kill Tom Piper. He gives them three instructions: to abduct Tom, drown him in the sea, and to steal Mary Contrary's sheep (which would force her to marry Barnaby so he could get her money). After abducting Tom, they walked by a gypsy camp, and, in order to receive more money, sold him to the gypsies while leading Barnaby to believe that they drowned him.

Dressed as sailors, Gonzorgo and Roderigo told Mary that Tom drowned. Afterward, they stole her sheep. Barnaby held off paying them until the next day. However, that night he discovered that Tom was still alive. He angrily chased them down, telling them to not quadruple cross him and to finish Tom off for good. They followed Tom and Mary into the Forest of No Return, where the sheep apparently were, and as the trees led them to Toyland. Barnaby intended to attack at several points but was interrupted each time before he could even reveal his presence.

When Mr. Toymaker's assistant, Grumio, invented "The Poof Gun" which has a special formula that shrinks large items down to toy size, and Mr. Toymaker threw it out a window, Barnaby caught it, shrunk him, and placed him in a birdcage. When he said he was going to do the same to Tom, Mr. Toymaker convinced Gonzorgo and Roderigo, who seemed horrified at Barnaby's use of the Poof Gun, to try to stop him. When Gonzorgo announced that he and Roderigo no longer wanted to be part of Barnaby's horrible plot, he shrunk and imprisoned them in the birdcage as well. As he tried to force Mary to marry him by threatening to shrink Tom twice (which would destroy him), Gonzorgo and Roderigo released Tom, who led an army of toys to fight Barnaby. After his defeat, Grumio restored Gonzorgo and Roderigo to normal size.

Afterward, Gonzorgo and Roderigo attended Tom and Mary's wedding.

Trivia[]

  • They seem to be inspired by Laurel and Hardy's characters Stannie Dum and Ollie Dee from the 1934 MGM film. Additionally Roderigo is reminiscent of Dopey, as both are mute, comic relief characters.
