In the 1999 movie, their full names are Ned Tweedledum and Fred Tweedledee.In it, they tend to honk and/or beep whenever poked or prodded. Pat O'Malley voices the Tweedles in the 1951 animated film.According to the dramatis personae for Through the Looking-Glass, Tweedledee is the White Queen's rook and Tweedledum is the White King's rook. This may have led to Tenniel's depiction of them as though they are twins and identical in physical appearance. Rather, they complement each other's words. The Tweedle brothers never contradict each other, even when one of them, according to the rhyme, "agrees to have a battle". When they see the Crow they take to their heels. They agree to have a battle, but never have one. Upon meeting the two little fat men, Alice quotes the nursery rhyme, which the two brothers then go on to enact. According to Brewer's Dictionary of Pharse and Fable, the names Tweedledum and Tweedledee can be traced back to an 18th century epigram satirizing a feud between the composers, Handel and Bonocini.
