Rocky (Swiss Family Robinson)

Rocky is a young baby elephant in Disney's 1960 movie, Swiss Family Robinson.
==Role in the film==
Francis, the Robinsons' youngest son, finds a young baby elephant in the jungle all by himself. After the dogs, Duke and Turk, save them from the tiger on the island, Mother allows Francis to keep him, who is later proven very instrumental in helping the Robinsons build their treehouse, and names him Rocky. He, with Francis' new pet monkey on his back, even helps Fritz and Ernst pull their sailboat to the water so as to allow them to find a way off the island.
On the day of the Robinsons' new holiday, Rocky is one of the animals who participate in the race, with Francis riding him, along with Turk (ridden by Francis' monkey), Lightning the donkey (ridden by Fritz), Clementine the ostrich (ridden by Ernst), and Duchess the zebra (ridden by Roberta).
In the end, after the pirates' deaths, and as Ernst travels to England with Roberta's grandfather, Captain Moreland, to continue his education there, Rocky can be seen running away along with Clementine, Duke, Turk, and Duchess as Francis tries to bring them back.

==Trivia==
*Rocky is the real name of the elephant who played him in the movie. According to Kevin Corcoran, who played Francis, he got his name due to the fact that he never stood and rocked back and forth all the time. Corcoran got to be friends with and play with him off camera, and he remembered that he was very friendly to him.
*It is unknown what happened to Rocky's herd in the movie. An older elephant, which presumably would have been a parent to him, was brought to Tobago for the movie's production, but did not make it into the final film.
