Clown of the Jungle is a Donald Duck cartoon released in 1947. It marks the first short film the Aracuan Bird (first seen in The Three Caballeros) appeared in. The cartoon was directed by Jack Hannah with music by Oliver Wallace.

==Censorship==
Television airings on the Disney Channel and Toon Disney removed all the violent scenes involving the Aracuan attempting suicide and the scene near the end when Donald tries to shoot the bird with a machine gun.
==Goofs==
*On The Chronological Donald, Volume Three, the opening theme uses the cut-short 1947 Donald Duck theme instead of the early-1940s Mickey Mouse theme it originally used.
**The reason it uses the early '40s Mickey Mouse theme was because the 1947 Donald Duck theme was not finished yet. It would not be used until Donald's Dilemma. 
**A similar gaffe also occurs in the Donald and Goofy cartoon Crazy with the Heat on the same DVD.
== Trivia==
*The Aracuan's signature song from The Three Caballeros resurfaces in this cartoon. In addition, the animation of the Aracuan running and dancing while singing said musical number is also re-used from that same film.
*The hammer sound from "Roustabouts", can be heard when Donald and the Aracuan are hammering a nail.
*When Donald goes insane and starts acting like the Aracuan at the very end, he breaks the fourth wall by walking along the black iris and shrinking with it.
