Bucky the Squirrel, or simply Bucky[3], is a minor character in Disney's 2000 film The Emperor's New Groove, its sequel, and its television series. He is a kind, happy squirrel who enjoys eating nuts and has a good sense of friendship, good enough to make him hate arrogant people like Kuzco and act cross with them. He is also a great friend of Kronk's and is a tutor on Squirrel Speak in Kuzco Academy.
