Claude the Louisiana Black Bear is a musician bear that plays Rara music for the Tiana's Bayou Adventure attraction in the Disney Parks.
Background[]
Claude is a salt of the earth kind of bear (or, as they say in the bayou, "Salt of the mound") who plays his horn along with the other members of his family. He’s a tinkerer who loves to create with things found in the forest, and is frequently funny without intending to be, especially when it comes to his home-grown creations.
Development[]
An artwork of Claude the Louisiana Black Bear was revealed to be featured in the upcoming attraction at Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Therefore, the Imagineers are creating the animatronic of the bear to make his appearance in the attraction.
