There could also be a monkey. He periodicaly steals fruit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There also needs to be a dog who gets into peril...but lives, of course!

Don't forget the grumpy but good hearted black guy in a position of authority over our protagonists who gives them a good cigar-chomping chewing out, replete with threats of suspending their vendor licenses.
