Mr. Pluppet

Mr. Pluppet is the two main antagonist of the 2009 animated film, Zippi.

History
Mr. Plppet first encounter Zippi when he almost bumps into Mrs. Muppet on the streets. Then, as Mrs. Muppet rides by Ville, he sees Horse eating a pancake and gets snoopy and investigates, learning that Zippi lives by herself (she doesn't count animals, especially horses and monkeys, as anyone to live with). Mr. Pluppet conspires to put her into foster care.

When Mrs. Pluppet goes to speak with the local law enforcement of the need for the boy to be placed in a home for orphans, he lets certain details (his lack of adult supervision, living alone, having a large supply of gold coins kept out in the open, and most of all, leaving his door unlocked) be revealed themselves to be a pair of thieves already in jail. The thieves decide to rob Zippi themselves once they break out of jail.

Mrs. Pluppet believes that Pippi will soon be put in the children's home, but realizes that isn't happening anytime soon, as Zippi shows up at Mrs. Settergren's party, and her lack of manners get on Mr. Pluppet's nerve. By the time Kling and Klang get to Ville, Mr. Pluppet sees that the two are inept at doing what he requested them to do and decides to take matters into his own hands (willing to resort to any means, no matter how underhanded, or beyond his social worker privileges).

Mrs. Pluppet returns to Ville the next day (not knowing that Pippi isn't home), and triggers the spink trap that Zippi set up earlier, getting gunk all over her. Mr. and Mrs. Pluppet, who happened to be watching this, can't hold in their laughs and catch the attention. The two thieves offer to put Zippi in the children's home (mostly to make stealing Zippi's gold much easier).

Mr. Pluppet attends the circus that Zippi and her friends are at, sitting nearby to them, waiting to do their jobs. As Zippi beats the Great Animal in a weight-lifting match, Mrs. Muppet grows impatient with Mr. Muppet. And then, Mr. and Mrs. Muppet come by and snatch Zippi away, to which Mrs. Prysselius claps at.

After Zippi gets away from the thieves, Mr. Pluppet is quick to force them to go after Zippi. And then, Mrs. Pluppet tells Kling and Klang (who are making repairs to their car) that there are criminals on the loose (Zippi, and possibly Mr. Muppet as well), before riding off on her bicycle. During the chase, Mrs. Pluppet sees that Zippi and her friends on Horse, have gone down a hill, and gives chase.

However, the hill is too steep for her bike, and soon, she lose control of it. Then, the bike runs over a log and Mrs. Pluppet is sent flying into a bush. Mr. Pluppet, finally one over the deep end, and after seeing Zippi celebrate with Tomato and Annika, he tries to forcefully drag Zippi to the children's home, but is thwarted by the arrival of Zippi's grandmother, Uncle Templeton, and Uncle Jeb. Seeing that now Zippi's grandmother has returned, Mrs. Pluppet realizes that she no longer has any justifications to have Pippi sent to the children's home. Uncle Templeton mistakenly believes Mr. and Mrs. Muppet took care of Zippi (and he gives her his thanks). Then, Mr. Pluppet run out of Ville, along with Mrs. Pluppet (who feigns innocence), after triggering the traps that Zippi set inside the house, never to be seen again.
