Mr. Moose

Mr. Moose is a character in Joe Rogers GoAnimate based on the puppet character from the 1955-1984 CBS children's show Captain Kangaroo.

Appearance
His appearance is well based on the puppet appearance as a lil peeps character, He has chef hats for antlers (the puppet antlers looked like blobs anyway) It was also difficult to make a Mr. Moose, so whatever Joe did, he just went with it (of course, he did look at the puppet to make the character) He was given hands and feet in his lil peepz design due to the puppet having literally no limbs. (lil peepz characters don't have limbs or necks but floating hands and feet and heads too, also in some promo art, he was drawn with four legs, but it doesn't work well in goanimate) His voice is much deeper than his original counterpart's not only because he cannot find an accurate Mr. Moose voice, but also because a high pitched voice does not sound very threatening. Since The Doodlebops Steal the Wiggles' Car/arrested. He gained nostrils, this was due to the fact that Joe did not notice them while making the character but did later (of course the one Cosmo Allegretti used)

Background
Mr.Moose first appeared on the Children's show Captain Kangaroo and for a long time, lived in the treasure house set (which became the captain's place in 1971), like the captain. (Mister Rogers did shove him into obscurity though) Often as a Running gag, Mr. Moose would ask the captain a knock knock joke, or a riddle, and the punchline would be ping pong balls. By the time it ended in 1984, Mr. Moose just lived on his own. He started noticing the abundance of Troublemakers. Captain suggested that he should use the ping pong ball gag as a punishment, and he did. Several videos he does this so far is when Mister Rogers washes the Captain's Hair Dye, during Caillou's third punishment day, when the Doodlebops stole the Wiggles' car, and during Caillou's fourth punishment day for insulting one of his former fellow cast members, Mr. Green Jeans. He also did a pixelated Pong version of the punishment when Caillou captured MissingNo. and made it attack several citizens in Go City. He is also friends with Fred Jones, and he is a fan of the Wiggles too. Mr. Moose and Fred appeared together and were hanging out when suddenly, Triangle's voice came in and was really loud. His ears hurt and Fred suggested to punish triangle, but Mr. Moose couldn't hear him.

Personality
Mr. Moose is cheerful around many people who do good things, as he likes joking around, and sometimes does the Ping Pong Ball gag as a joke but not as a punishment. However, just like the Captain, he is never someone anyone would want to mess with. He also participates in punishment days as well, to violently make ping pong balls fall down and hurt the troublemaker with an insulting joke, He is easily irritated by troublemakers just like Captain (who is well known for grounding troublemakers) He does have a good sense of whether it is a mistake or actual troublemaking (just like Captain)

Ping Pong Ball Punishments
In the show Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Moose would often maneuver the Captain into a joke or a riddle about Ping Pong balls, and they would often fall on the captain annoyingly. In GoAnimate however, Mr. Moose does this much more aggresively, as he often tells an insulting joke (which mentions what the troublemaker is guilty of) and the ping pong balls would violently fall down. It depends on the situation or how severe it is, but it always leads to pain. Sometimes it could be just really heavy Ping Pong balls, other times they would be bombs (which Caillou somehow managed to survive) One time, when the Doodlebops stole the Wiggles' car, he set out a rope for Moe to pull, and when he pulled it, the ping pong balls immediately fell on the Doodlebops and they got arrested. Another time, after Caillou sent out a MissingNo to cause trouble, Mr. Moose punished him with Pong balls (from the Atari game).

Trivia

 * Joe could not really find a good voice that sounded like Mr. Moose so he used Alan instead, (Alan also suits him better in goanimate, and makes him sound much more threatening)

His antlers are chef hats
