Apollo the Raccoon

Apollo the Raccoon is a musician raccoon that plays Zydeco music for the Tiana's Bayou Adventure attraction in the Disney Parks.
==Background==
Apollo loves transforming abandoned objects into works of musical art – like his squeezebox. He is full of energy and storytelling, especially about the objects he finds in the bayou. He's particularly close with Rufus and appreciates Rufus' calm demeanor.
===Development===
An artwork of Apollo the Raccoon was revealed to be featured in the upcoming attraction at Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Therefore, the Imagineers are creating the animatronic of the raccoon to make his appearance in the attraction.
