	Movies - Aracuan Bird

The Aracuan Bird is a fictional character created by The Walt Disney Company. The Aracuan, is also called the Clown of the Jungle and first appeared in the feature film "The Three Caballeros" (1945); though, despite his apparent on-screen popularity, strangely he did not appear in the comicbook adaptation of that film. During the segment "Aves Raras" (or "rare birds") Donald Duck is watching a film about South American birds when the film's narrator introduces the Aracuan as "one of the most eccentric birds you have ever seen." The Aracuan proceeds to walk right out of the film along the projectors' light beam and into Donald's life. This crazy bird drives Donald nuts not only in this film, but again in the cartoon short "Clown of the Jungle" (1947), and then once more in the feature film "Melody Time" segment called "Blame it on the Samba" (1948) where he attempts to cheer up the "blue" (literally) Donald Duck and Jose Carioca. Like Panchito Pistoles and Jose Carioca, the Aracuan's presence is primarily known only from these three films in the USA. However, he has found some success in comics from Brazil where he is known as Foliao. More recently the Aracuan Bird has appeared in Mickey Mouse Works and Disney's House of Mouse. He causes hilarious practical jokes and dons various disguises (including posing as Donald Duck), and most of the gags are highly impossible.
