Donald Duck – The Original and Still the Best!

Donald Duck has been renowned for being one of the most popular cartoon characters of all time.

Donald Duck is a persnickety animated Disney character who first appeared in “The Wise Little Hen” movie in 1934. He is known for his raspy, somewhat unintelligible speaking manner, his temper and his blue sailor outfit. His biggest surge in popularity came during World War II. He starred in more than 100 films between 1941 and 1965, including patriotic “Army shorts” and the anti-Nazi movie “Der Fuehrer’s Face” (1941), which won an Academy Award in the animated short film category.

The Voice is one of the most unique parts of the character, and was originally Clarence Nash, and 50 years later, was Tony Anselmo, who was a Disney based artist.

As a character, audiences soon saw something they liked within Donald Duck, and eventually overtook the hot seat which was occupied at the time by Mickey Mouse. He would eventually feature in over 120 cartoons as the main character, 100′s of daily comic strips in news papers, as well as several as a subordinate to the likes of Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Pluto just to name a few!

Donald Duck is a character loved by all ages, passing through the generations, and still being just as popular today as when the original was born. This is thanks to his good natured character, which means no harm for any other characters in the cartoons, as well as comical intentions that make him destined to be a looser rather than a winner, although he will always fight everything out to the bitter end.

Characters of a similar nature are starting to take over the hot seat which once belonged to the likes of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, but I’m sure the repeats of the original cartoons wont be disappearing any time soon! The original and still the best!
