Peter Pig is a fictional pig in Disney short films and comics of the 1930s. He was introduced in The Wise Little Hen (1934),[1]. in which he is the lazy and greedy friend of his much more famous fellow first-appearance character Donald Duck. Peter Pig's second and last Disney film appearance was in The Band Concert (1935),[2] in which Peter plays trumpet and a smaller, similar pig called Paddy Pig plays the tuba.
The brief film career would be followed by a just as brief comics career. Federico Pedrocchi, the Italian who created the first long Donald Duck comics, used Peter Pig as Donald's sidekick until he was replaced by the arrival of Huey, Dewey and Louie.
According to a Disney studio press release, the Three Little Pigs are Peter Pig's cousins.[3]
In the Garden area of Disney Castle in Kingdom Hearts II, there is a topiary sculpture of Peter Pig. He also has a brief cameo in Who Framed Roger Rabbit
