Panchito Pistoles

Panchito Pistoles is a trigger-happy Mexican rooster who first appeared in Disney's 1945 feature film The Three Caballeros. He speaks Mexican with a Mexican accent. He was voiced by Joaquin Garay in the original film and was later voiced by Carlos Alazarqui.
==Background==
===Personality===
Panchito is extremely boisterous and fun-loving. He enjoys chasing women, just like his best amigos Donald Duck and José Carioca, and always carries two revolvers and a magical flying serape.
===Designs===
Panchito is covered with red feathers, which turn white on his hands and upper arms. He normally wears red charro pants, a short bolero jacket, spurs, and a belt with holsters, all topped off with a giant sombrero.
==Appearances==
===The Three Caballeros===
We first meet Panchito when he bursts out of Donald Duck's final birthday present. Making a dazzling entrance, he presents Donald and José Carioca with sombreros to create The Three Caballeros. After performing a musical number, Panchito takes his new friends on his magical flying serape to tour Mexico, ending with a mock bull fight and a fireworks finale.
===Comics===
Panchito appeared in many comic book stories, most notably Don Rosa's The Three Caballeros Ride Again and The Magnificent Seven (Minus 4) Caballeros.
===House of Mouse===
Panchito appeared in the House of Mouse episode "The Three Caballeros", where he is asked to perform as part of the Three Caballeros. However, problems arise when Donald realizes that no one remembers that he is part of the group. To this end, Donald takes various measures meant to ensure that he isn't forgotten, such as changing his name and identity to The Duck Formerly Known As Donald. Finally, Mickey calls upon José and Panchito to solve the problem. The duo play their favorite brand of tricks on Donald, and he soon comes around.
In most later episodes, Panchito can be seen in certain crowd shots with José. He later appears again with José and Donald to perform another song, titled "My Name is Panchito", in the episode "Not So Goofy", revealing his full name - Panchito Romero Miguel Junipero Francisco Quintero González III.
===Mickey Mouse Mixed Adventures===
Panchito appears alongside his fellow Caballeros in "Mickey's Perfecto Day!". The group reunites for a performance, only for Donald to lose the ability to do so, leading to Daisy taking his place. He also appears in the episode "Super-Charged: Daisy's Grande Goal" alongside José.
=== The Legend of the Three Caballeros===
Along with Donald and José, he is one of the Three Caballeros, distant descendants of the three knights who defeated Lord Felldrake. Panchito first meets Donald and José when the three inherit Clinton Coot's adventurer's cabana, due to their direct relationship to the original trio. Inside, Cabana discovers a magical book that, when opened, releases a goddess named Xandra. The goddess explains that it was their ancestors who traveled long ago to stop the evil wizard Lord Felldrake from taking over the world and ended up sealing him in a magical staff. Meanwhile, the staff containing Felldrake is discovered by his descendant Baron Von Sheldgoose, and when Sheldgoose decides to revive Felldrake, the new Three Caballeros must learn to become heroes to save the world from disaster.
Compared to his previous appearances, Panchito is more goofy here, making fourth-wall-breaking observations like Donald's tail being frozen because he's not wearing pants, and the fact that they can't fly because they're "not birds." Similar to the original film, he is portrayed as a daredevil and an enthusiastic thrill seeker. Panchito also has an alter ego named "El Gallo Loco", a famous masked wrestler. In the episode "Mexico à Go-Go", the Mexican natives worship and venerate Panchito as a mighty warrior before throwing him into a ritual wrestling match against the Sheldgoose.
===DuckTales (2017)===
Panchito, along with José, made his debut in this show's second season episode "The Town Where Everyone Was Nice!". Here, he is a member of the DuckTales incarnation of the Three Caballeros, which were a band that Donald was part of in college. Like his initial incarnation, Panchito has holsters but carries smartphones in them instead of pistols, albeit twirling them around in a similar fashion. He at first claims to be famous superstar who is constantly getting called by his agent before revealing that he only performs at birthday parties for children. He renews his friendship with Donald and José to defeat the Drosera occidendum.
==Mickey Mouse Funhouse==
===Other appearances===
In Minnie's Bow-Toons, Panchito made a special appearance in the episode Fiesta Follies where he hosted a fiesta in Mexico that Minnie, Daisy and Clarabelle happened to visit.
In Mickey Mouse, Panchito appears alongside José and Donald in "¡Feliz Cumpleaños!", as part of the band hosting Mickey's birthday party.
===Disney Parks===
Panchito appears as an extremely rare meet-and-greet character in the United States, but he can be found regularly at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.
At Walt Disney World, Panchito's likeness is featured at Disney's All-Star Music Resort and Disney's Coronado Springs Resort (which also features a gift shop called Panchito's Gifts & Sundries).
Panchito can also be seen in the Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland versions of It's a Small World as a marionette.
===Mickey Mouse Revue===
Panchito joined Donald and José in the former animatronic show as a part of the caballeros.
===Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros===
Panchito appears in the Epcot boat ride along with Donald and José. In the ride, The Three Caballeros plan to perform a concert in Mexico City. When Donald goes missing, Panchito and José go on a search for their missing friend. After a wild tour through the sites of Mexico, the Caballeros are reunited just in time for their big show.
===Mickey's Soundsational Parade===
Panchito appears in the newest parade at Disneyland. José and Panchito join Donald as they dance along the parade with female dancers. Panchito carries a long stick for breaking piñatas.
