Adelbert

Adelbert is a kid who is the main antagonist of the 1932 short, "Mickey's Good Deed" and the 2023 remake of the same name.

Role in the short
Adelbert is first seen crying and throwing a temper tantrum, refusing all the expensive toys his parents and the butler tried to give him. Then, after hearing Pluto's howling, Adelbert walks over to the window and peers outside. Afterwards, he tells his parents that he wants the dog and throws another tantrum. Adelbert's father tells the butler to buy Pluto from Mickey.

After the butler buys Pluto from Mickey, Adelbert becomes delighted. As Pluto tries to get closer to him, Adelbert whacks him in the direction of a toy train track. When Pluto lands, Adelbert activates the train and laughs as the train hits Pluto from behind. His father, his mother and the butler shake hands in satisfaction.

Some time later, Adelbert is throwing expensive items, toys, and food at Pluto. Adelbert's parents try to get him to stop, but they get hit a few times, causing Pluto to trip the butler. The mansion soon becomes a huge mess and Adelbert launches Pluto from the Christmas tree, causing further injury to his father and mother.

Unable to take it anymore, Adelbert's parents tell the butler to throw Pluto out. As Adelbert immediately starts throwing another temper tantrum, his father turns him around facing him, pulls his pants down and spanks him. Pluto briefly watches and laughs after seeing this and leaves to search for Mickey.
