Wandering Rabbit

The Wandering Rabbit is a character from the former America Sings attraction in Disneyland.
==History==
===Background===
The Wandering Rabbit can be seen behind a window. He appears briefly during the attraction's third act singing "Down in the Licensed Saloon" where his mother sadly sings about her hopes for her missing son, the Wanderin' Boy, hoping he comes home right away. During the song, he can only be seen at a bar drinking, as a silhouette only.
===Development===
The Wandering Rabbit was created in the former America Sings attraction, which was created for the America Sings attraction at Disneyland in the Tomorrowland section, where he was placed in the "Gay Nineties" sequence where he appeared in the song, "Down In The Licensed Saloon", which opened on June 29, 1974. However, America Sings closed on April 10, 1988 in order to retheme the attraction to Innoventions, with his mother and his siblings alongside with most of the animatronics moved to Splash Mountain at the Critter Country section, which opened on July 17, 1989.
==Role in the Attraction==
The Wandering Rabbit is encountered during the attraction's third act, "The Gay Nineties", where he is seen during the song "Down in the Licensed Saloon". Throughout the song, his mother sings in a sad tune about her hopes for him to come home. Just as she sings, a silhouette of him appears on a window just as his mother holds a candle while singing about him. After the act, it loops into Sam and Ollie listening to a showgirl pig singing "(Won't You Come Home) Bill Bailey".
