Princess Poppypants is a Boodle Poodle and the main antagonist in "Horrid Henry and the Boodle Poodle". She was an undefeated champion poodle until she lost a contest of skill to Henry's hamster, Fang.
Description[]
Princess Poppypants is a stereotypical poodle, complete with puffy "poodle-cut" and hair dyed pink. Like many of the animals in the Horrid Henry television show, she was portrayed in a highly anthropomorphic way, being fully capable of giving her performances bipedally, and possessing a degree of intelligence far greater than an animal in the real world.
History[]
Margaret mentioned that Princess Poppypants beat the Platinum Boodle Poodle at slipper throwing. Henry then stated Fang could do that, so Margaret planned to set up a competition in an attempt to humiliate the poor hamster. However, due to Fang's long hours of practise, he managed to catch up with the athletic dog. Despite winning in the dancing round, she eventually lost the competition when Fang beat her at synchronised swimming.
Trivia[]
- Henry nicknamed her Princess Poopypants.
- Princess Poppypants bears a striking resemblance to Margaret's Boodle Poodle from the episode Horrid Henry's Animal Antics. Whether this dog was intended to be the same animal or was simply a convenient reuse of character design is unknown.
