Breaker, breaker, little mate. I forgot to tell you around here, you need to be QUIET! Or the Rangers might hear you. Now, sit down, relax, enjoy the view. Nothing but abandoned opal mines as far as the eye can see. And dead ahead is home sweet home.
♪ Home, home on the range
Where the critters are tied up in chains
I cut through their sides
And I rip off their hides
And the next day, I do it again ♪
Everybody!
♪ Home, home on the range... ♪
~ McLeach to Cody and then singing his twisted version of Home on the Range.
Nothing personal, boy, but I wouldn't wanna disappoint the rangers. They was looking so hard for ya. And now, they're gonna FIND YA!
~ McLeach about to feed Cody to the crocodiles.

Percival C. McLeach, often referred to by his surname, is the main antagonist of Disney's 29th full-length animated feature film The Rescuers Down Under.

He is a ruthless, cunning, and bloodthirsty poacher who is motivated to kill animals and sometimes humans without any reason beyond his own sadistic pleasure and greed, as he wanted to capture a rare eagle named Marahute and sell her for a fortune. McLeach was so very antisocial that he tried to feed off Cody to swarm crocodiles when he had outlived his usefulness. He is one of the most sadistic and darkest Disney villains in history. He is also the archenemy of Cody and Bernard.

He was voiced by the late George C. Scott, while Frank Welker (who also voiced Joanna in the same film) provided his singing voice.

What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]

  • Had been capturing and killing many animals before the movie.
    • His lair is decorated with animal furniture made from the animals he's killed in the past.
    • What’s worse is he seems to be aware that the animals are sapient, considering he gives orders to his pet lizard, Joanna as well as Frank the frilled lizard, proving that he knows they can understand him.
  • Killed Marahute's mate prior to the events of the movie and kept one of his feathers to wear on his hat.
  • Abusing Joanna throughout the movie, nearly killing her when he is first introduced.
  • While he does have many comedic moments, his actions are still horridly played seriously, and all of his humor is extremely dark and used to emphasize how depraved he is and is only funny to the audience.
  • While he did help Cody out of the trap hole when they first met and tried to convince him to go home, it was only because he didn’t see him as a threat yet and thought he could convince him that he wasn’t a poacher so he wouldn't get caught.
  • After seeing a golden feather on Cody's backpack, he kidnaps him and tries to force him to reveal the whereabouts of Marahute via throwing knives at him.
  • Threw Cody’s backpack into a river of crocodiles so the rangers as well as Cody’s mother, would believe that he had been eaten alive, which could have taken a toll on the mother's mental stability.
  • Imprisoned Cody inside an animal cage for a whole day.
  • Considered torturing Cody by sticking him in a giant anthill so he'd tell him where the eagle was.
  • Lies to Cody that someone else had killed Marahute so that he could follow him back to her nest. What's worse is that unlike when he tried to convince the boy he wasn't a poacher, Cody believed him this time, though this could be because he was emotionally broken by McLeach's abuse and lies.
  • Successfully captures Marahute, and in the process, tries to shake Cody off of the trap so he'd fall to his death.
  • Orders Joanna to eat Marahute's eggs so that her kind would stay rare, thus increasing her value, and making him willing to drive the entire species to extinction.
  • Tries to feed Cody to a swarm of crocodiles. To make things worse, he sent Cody to the crocodiles before pulling him out, because just letting them eat the boy wasn't fun enough for his taste. Later, when Bernard sabotaged his truck and prevented him from dunking the boy again, McLeach shot the rope instead of Cody, because he believed just shooting the boy would be boring.
  • When McLeach falls into the river, he seemingly fights off a horde of crocodiles, without realizing that the crocs swam away from him because of the upcoming waterfall.
  • Unlike Madame Medusa who is a standard villain, Percival C. McLeach passes the Heinous Standards to a much larger level with lower resources.

Trivia[]

  • McLeach is the second Disney Pure Evil who did not directly interact with the main protagonist (namely Bernard and Bianca), the first being the Coachman and third being King Runeard.
  • McLeach is the first Disney Pure Evil to originate from a feature-length animated sequel (not counting Pixar), the second being King Runeard from Frozen II.
