==Origin==
Wilbur is a Disney character who was originally introduced in the 1939 animated short "Goofy and Wilbur". He is a green grasshopper with large, expressive eyes and a playful demeanor, and he is an important friend for Goofy.
Wilbur first appears right at the beginning of the animated short "Goofy and Wilbur" when Goofy approaches a sign "NO FISHIN'" and opens the box inviting Wilbur to come out by saying "Here we are, Wilbur". The grasshopper comes out, stretches his legs and yawns. When Goofy asks him whether he is feeling okay, Wilbur turns upside down trying to show that he is feeling absolutely fine. Notably, he also starts wigging his body as if it was a tail, and Goofy even strokes him the way one would stroke a dog, which shows that their relationship is the one between a pet and an owner. Wilbur even rubs his head on Goofy's thumb. 
On Goofy's command, Wilbur jumps into water and then starts hopping on the surface until he reaches a spot with fish underwater. Goofy wakes up the fish, and it starts chasing Wilbur. He skillfully leaps away, but the fish does not stop until it jumps right into Goofy's net. Wilbur continues to lure another fish into Goofy's hands but he gets in trouble when the third fish sees him. Eventually, Wilbur's agility gets both fish caught by Goofy. After catching a bigger one, Wilbur glides on the water surface as if he is ice skating when he notices another huge fish that is pretending to be asleep. He starts jumping and dancing around it to wake it up, and the fish makes several attempts to eat him unnoticed. Then Wilbur opens the fish's eye a spits in it, angering the fish and causing another dangerous chase. Eventually, Wilbur gets eaten, and Goofy tries his best to make sure he is alive inside that fish, by shaking it and asking Wilbur to talk to him. Wilbur falls out of the fish's mouth looking blue, and Goofy uses his legs to perform first-aid, so Wilbur turns green again in the process, even though still unconscious. Goofy measures his pulse and makes him sniff "Melling Salts", which seems to bring Wilbur back to life. Goofy scolds him to be more careful, and Wilbur takes it as an order to go and take revenge for himself. He jumps back on the water surface, looks around and plays on his legs like on a violin, attracting a lot of fish to himself. Surrounded, he starts begging for mercy, and then provokes another chase. He jumps on land, spits into the fish, they all fall back, and Wilbur, happy with his little revenge, jumps further in the grass right into a frog's mouth. Scared for his friend's life, Goofy starts chasing the frog to get Wilbur back. While running away from Goofy, the frog gets eaten by a stork. After the stork flies away, Goofy starts crying over the loss of his friend, but right when Goofy is about to give up, the stork's egg cracks, and Wilbur triumphantly appears out of it, finishing the story on a positive note.
