Horace Horsecollar is a Funny Animal Cartoon Character created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney .

He is an and others even more minor. Characterized as a cheerful know-it-all, Horace helped Mickey on his sleuthing expeditions in the comics before Goofy was created. In recent years, Horace has more commonly appeared in '' Mickey Mouse Works '' and '' Disney's House Of Mouse ''.


IN ANIMATION

He appeared frequently from 1930 to 1932 and less frequently afterward, making his final classic-era bow in 1942''. Retrieved on September 2, 2007.. The name of Horace's voice actor in the classic era is unknown.

In his earliest incarnation, Horace was presented as Mickey Mouse's four-legged plow horse. He could walk upright on his hind legs, at which time his forelegs became gloved hands; at other times, he got back down on all fours and reverted to form. Horace mostly played bit-part characters in the approximately 30 cartoon shorts in which he appeared, and his character was never as fully developed as the "Fab Five". Like Goofy in his early ''Dippy'' appearances, Horace's body seemed to be formed of rubber tubing. He and Clarabelle Cow had an uncanny ability to change from somewhat normal farmyard animals into anthropomorphized beings as necessary.

As with most Disney characters, he was given small cameos in " Mickey's Christmas Carol " (1983) and '' Who Framed Roger Rabbit '' (1988). He had a bigger a role as Mickey's pompous tutor in the "The Prince and the Pauper" (1990).

In these latter-day animated appearances, his voice is provided by Bill Farmer (who also voices Goofy and Pluto ).

After departing the Disney studio, Ub Iwerks created a Horace-like character, the mule Orace , for his own studio. As can be noted, even the name is almost the same.

IN COMICS

Horace has never really been more than a Supporting Character , though he has starred in numerous European comic book stories of his own. In these, he plays a much bigger role than elsewhere, accompanying Mickey on his adventures, or acting as Clarabelle Cow's paramour and fiance. Clarabelle and Horace were engaged in the comics according to some 1931 and 1932 continuities, but neither ever followed through.

For a brief time, during the late 1960s, Clarabelle Cow began dating Goofy , perhaps in an attempt to give Goofy a girlfriend. The reasons for Clarabelle and Horace apparently breaking up were not given. In 1969, the character Glory-Bee was introduced as a new love interest for Goofy Glory-Bee . Disney's HooZoo .
