Fidget is a peg-legged, raspy-voiced bat who serves as the loyal henchman to the villainous Professor Ratigan. His character is defined by his somewhat bumbling nature and his distinct look, featuring a tattered wing and a wooden leg, making him a visually unique and slightly intimidating presence. Despite his clumsy and sometimes cowardly behavior, Fidget is dedicated to helping Ratigan execute his schemes, particularly by assisting in the professor’s plans to overthrow the queen of the mouse world.

One of Fidget’s most notable tasks in the film is to kidnap Olivia Flaversham’s father, Hiram Flaversham, a toymaker whom Ratigan needs to create a robotic queen. Fidget’s distinctive voice and personality bring a mix of menace and humor to the role, making him a standout character. He was voiced by actor and voice artist Candy Candido, whose deep, gravelly voice added an extra layer of menace and memorability to the character.
