Donald Duck at a Glance 

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. Donalds Happy Birthday (short) gives his birthday as March 13. Donald Duck is a well-known and very popular character especially in Scandinavian countries.

Donalds 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 you are my hero but i always deal with the same problems too. Example chip N dale steal his acorns. i was picking acorns in my back yard and these chipmunks would come and steal what was in the bag. I also like pk i think he is the super hero ever and donald has a different voice in there too i thought that was a great idea i some times lose my temper too. when i first saw him i was little and i was amazed look theres donald duck my parents told me that was the only character at disney world i was'nt shy to. Go Disney Ducks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I always loved it when Donald would interrupt the Mickey Mouse Club song proclaiming his own name instead. Heck, why would a kid prefer a mouse to a duck anyway? Go Donald!

    Quack quack! Donald is sure one funny duck and a hot-tempered duck, too! Good thing he didn't burned to ashes my Disney personal checks when I put his picture on it. You know, that stance he's doing when he's mad, like playing "air violin"..hahahaha! I love it when he does that and gets mocked in the process!
