Ellsworth (character)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ellsworth is a fictional character, created by Bill Walsh and Manuel Gonzales in 1949, in the Mickey Mouse universe for The Walt Disney Company.
His full name being Ellsworth Bheezer (occasionally misspelled Bhezer), he started out as Goofy's pet mynah bird but in later stories he became an independent anthropomorphic animal. He was created for the Mickey Mouse Sunday pages, but has been used in longer comics as well, especially the ones produced in Italy, France, and Brazil.
Ellsworth wears a red-orange shirt and a green cap. Reflecting a trait of mynah birds who can imitate human speech, he is extremely vain and self-centered, which was originally the spotlight and center of jokes in his stories.
He is not to be confused with Bruto (created by Romano Scarpa), another anthropomorphic mynah bird in the Mickey Mouse universe who looks a lot like him, but who is actually his somewhat smaller adoptive son.
