Snoopy is a beagle in Charles M. Schulz’ Peanuts. This well-known comic strip started in 1950 and continued until 2000, upon Schulz’ death. Snoopy is Charlie Brown’s dog and is often depicted as fun, imaginative, and somewhat unpredictable. He often creates fantasy stories about writing a novel, becoming an astronaut, and even flying planes.

Since the character’s creation in 1950, Snoopy has become one of the most easily recognizable canine figures in American pop culture and is loved by many.

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy make up four of Disney’s core crew of characters known as the “Sensational Six.” The four characters have been on many adventures together over the last several decades, but their most notable pirate adventure is from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode “Mickey’s Pirate Adventure” where Goofy is reunited with his long-lost grandfather, Captain Goof-Beard.  

Mickey Mouse has a long history with nautical adventures, with his first appearance in the 1928 animated film Steamboat Willie where Mickey is a lowly deckhand piloting a steamboat across a river.
