Appearances[]
The Rescuers Down Under[]
He appears in an abandoned ambulance in the desert of Australia. He believes he can find a way to cure Wilbur's broken back, but as he starts to check his back, he commands his nursemaids to rope him around hanging him and shoot through his back with a cane. Wilbur is scared but Dr. Mouse tells him he must relax, but he is afraid Dr. Mouse will kill him. Dr. Mouse is not convinced so he and his nursemaids put medicine in a needle and shoot Wilbur to make him fall asleep.
While Bianca, Bernard, and Jake go searching for Cody, Wilbur wakes up painfully and sees some kind of object on top of his head. Dr. Mouse plans to do an operation on Wilbur's back with a chainsaw, which he calls the "epidermal tissue disruptor". Wilbur screams in panic and tries to escape, but Dr. Mouse and his nursemaids try to stop him. Wilbur hops out the window but he's stuck. Dr. Mouse and his nursemaids pull him back but Wilbur flies down to the floor and accidentally lies down on Dr. Mouse. Wilbur stands up and his back is now cured, but now Dr. Mouse's back is damaged. He isn't seen again or even heard of for the rest of the film. Therefore, it is unknown what happened to him next.
Trivia[]
- The sequence where the Doctor orders the calibration of the syringes ("range 42!') with the nurses echoing him is identical to Captain Hook aiming a cannon at Peter Pan and Wendy, with the orders repeated by Smee.
- Bernard Fox's casting is most likely a nod to his role on Bewitched as Dr. Bombay.
