“ | HEY, MR. WILSON! | „ |
~ Dennis Mitchell's catchphrase |
Dennis Mitchell is the main protagonist of the comic Dennis the Menace by Hank Ketcham. He's French-Irish-American. Born on March 14, he is the son of Henry and Alice Mitchell, and they own a dog named Ruff, and (in some comic adaptations) a yellow cat named Hot Dog. He doesn't intend to be how the title describes him: a menace.
He is portrayed by Jay North in the 1959 TV series, Victor DiMattia in the 1987 TV film Dennis the Menace: Dinosaur Hunter, Peter Cronkite in the 2002 film, Dennis the Menace: Cruise Control, Mason Gamble in the 1993 film adaptation, and Justin Cooper in the latter's sequel Dennis the Menace Strikes Again, whereas, he is voiced by Brennan Thicke, along with the co-creator Jim Jinkins (the creator of Doug) in the 80's cartoons. In The Minecraft Adventures of Dennis the Menace, he is voiced by Connor Andrade, who also played Chowder from The Cartoon Network Minecraft Show, Grizz Bear from We Baby Bears and Bobbi from Deer Squad.
Personality[]
Dennis is a freckle-faced 5-year-old boy with a troublesome but good-hearted personality. His long-suffering parents, Henry and Alice Mitchell, can only shake their heads and try to explain their son's antics to others, yet they very much love and care for him. The comic efficacy of Dennis's personality lies within how his genuine attempts to help others in need, combined with his youthful energy and enthusiasm, frequently lead to trouble wherever he goes (usually at Mr. Wilson's expense). He hates carrots and baths, loves root beer (especially with cookies or brownies), ketchup, sandwiches, water pistols, playing & taking "April Showers" with other boys his age every year in spring, mud puddles, outdoor activities like camping, and westerns.
Physical Appearance[]
Dennis has blond hair, wears a black T-shirt with blue stripes with red overalls and white sneakers (yet he sometimes prefers going barefoot).
