Though Donald Duck traditionally wears blue, in honor of Pi Day today (3/14) we'll acknowledge his green outfit in "Donald in Mathemagic Land" -




If you have half an hour, you can view the full film here:

Donald also wears green in his Tusker House meet-n-greet outfit at Animal Kingdom -

Evolution of Tusker House (AI Overview, witch also cited Facebook)

• 1998–2007 (Quick Service): Originally designed as a fast-casual spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, featuring plastic utensils and traditional American fare with slight African touches.
• The 2007 Shift: On November 17, 2007, it reopened as a table-service buffet to meet the demand for more varied dining.
• Character Integration: Concurrently with the 2007 overhaul, "Donald's Breakfastosaurus" moved from Restaurantosaurus to Tusker House to become "Donald's Safari Breakfast," later expanding to include lunch and dinner characters, including Mickey, Daisy, and Goofy.
• Atmosphere & Theme: The restaurant is themed as part of the fictional, bustling Harambe Marketplace, with a backstory of being a former colonial-era building repurposed by the citizens of Harambe after 1961.
• Modern Era: Known for its "crackling" atmosphere, the interior features rustic, travel-themed decor. While it operated as a family-style service during the 2021 reopening period, it returned to its signature buffet format featuring African-inspired cuisine (like curries and roasted meats) combined with standard, kid-friendly options.

Today's Green Characters are the Claw Machine Aliens from Toy Story:


The Pixar Wiki describes them as follows:
The Squeeze Toy Aliens (a.k.a. Little Green Men or LGMs for short) are rubber squeak toys in the Toy Story franchise. They represent small, short, lime-skinned space aliens with three eyes, three-fingered hands chubby bodies with short arms and legs, large feet, and oblong heads with pointy ears and a single club-tipped antenna on top. All have the same appearance, speak in the same voice, and wear the blue space uniforms containing the Pizza Planet logo on the right side of the chest and a purple collar around the neck. They also wear a dark blue belt around their waists and a set of dark blue boots on their feet.

You can find these little guys on all sorts of Disney merch, from toys:


to clothes and bags:
