Gideon is the sidekick to Honest John and one of the two secondary antagonists in Disney's 2nd full-length animated feature film Pinocchio. Gideon never speaks, possibly because he is mute (though he hiccups). He is apparently dumb, as he is evidently far less intelligent that his partner. In spite of this, Gideon still manages to help the fox with his crimes. He would often use a mallet to hit people with.
