A Sunday with DONALD DUCK

********************************************* Donald Duck is an American cartoon character from 'The Walt Disney Company'. Donald is a white anthropomorphic duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He usually wears a sailor shirt, cap, and a red bow tie, but no trousers(except when he goes swimming). Donald's most famous personality trait is his easily provoked and explosive temper. Donald Duck has been officially honored as the third most popular cartoon character of all time with Bugs Bunny of 'Warner Bros'. 'Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies' at number two and fellow 'Disney' creation Mickey Mouse who is number one. According to the 'Disney' canon, particularly in the 1942 short Donald Gets Drafted Donald's birthday is officially recognized as June 9, 1934, the day his debut film, The Wise Little Hen, was released. However, in The Three Caballeros (1944), his birthday is given as simply "Friday the 13th", which is in reference to the bad luck he experiences in almost all his cartoon appearances. Donald's Happy Birthday (short) gives his birthday as March 13. Donald Duck is a well-known and very popular character especially in Scandinavian countries. Donald's voice, one of the most identifiable voices in all of animation, was performed by voice actor Clarence "Ducky" Nash up to his death in 1985. It was largely this semi-intelligible speech that would cement Donald's image into audiences' minds and help fuel both Donald's and Nash's rise to stardom. In 1969, 'Disney On Parade' which toured all over the United States and Canada, hired Ellard Davis as the live voice of Donald Duck. Mr. Davis did the voice for 3 years. Since 1985, Donald has been voiced by Tony Anselmo, who was trained by Nash for the role. Donald is a V.I.P. member of the 'Mickey Mouse Club'. *********************************************** *** Donald Duck 1942 Donald Gets Drafted *********************************************** *** Donald Duck 1940 Window Cleaners *********************************************** *** Donald Duck 1942 The Village Smithy *********************************************** *** Donald Duck 1944 Donald's Off Day *********************************************** *** Donald Duck 1949 Sea Salts *********************************************** *** Donald Duck 1949 Honey Harvester *********************************************** *** Donald Duck 1951 Bee On Guard *********************************************** *** Donald Duck 1952 Let's Stick Together *********************************************** *** Donald Duck 1953 Canvas Back Duck *********************************************** *** Donald Duck 1939 The Hockey Champ
