- EXPLAINING DISNEY #10
To celebrate the 85th Birthday it Walt Disney’s Donald Duck, I take a look at his evolution, right from his first Silly Symphonies appearance in 1934, through to his propaganda and WWII training and education films of the 40s, his highly-stylized appearance in the 1950s and his modern day CG look.
I take a look at how he evolved alongside Disney’s other popular characters, Mickey Mouse and Goofy, as a follow-up to my previous video “Evolution of MICKEY MOUSE Over 90 Years (1928-2018) Explained”.

Please stop asking why I did not include Kingdom Hearts in the video. This video is not about every single thing the character has been in or every single piece of clothing he has every worn. It is about his design and character evolution in animation and not video games.
Just as I don't mention every single short the character has appeared in, I don't mention every single show or movie or game. We would be here for hours.
Regardless, the Kingdom Hearts design just takes the Clubhouse design and puts new clothes on him. It's irrelevant to the overall evolution of the character and to the video.
You forgot mickey and the roadster racers
Kingdom hearts sucks anyway. They are just a bunch of sensetive weaboos who can't stand the thought of crappy anime not being mentioned on the list.
Satanen Perkele I'm not a weaboo and I'm not sensitive. I can stand the thought of it not being on the list. You're really generalizing and making assumptions. And Kingdom Hearts isn't an anime, it's a video game.
Kingdom Hearts came out before Mickey Mouse Clubhouse though...
Kingdom Hearts 2002
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 2006
D'Mahri Brown I’m referring to Kingdom Hearts III. Donald has appeared in video games since the 1980s. This video is not about the video games. Any Kingdom Hearts appearance is irrelevant.
Mickey Mouse may be Disney's mascot, but we all know Donald Duck is their hardest working star.
Wait is it just me.... Donald was in a war?
@@icealpha1035 yes, he was
the Duck-ClanMcDuck-Coot family is clearly the best family in disney
He’s a literal soldier
Thankyou
Donald Duck is an amazing character because he has many bad character traits; he has a quick temper, he's cowardly, arrogant and he doesn't shy away from scheming. But he also has many good character traits; he cares a lot about his family, he is hard-working, brave and especially in more recent appearances he always sees the error of his bad ways in the end and makes amends. Seeing someone with many bad personality traits overcome them and still do the right thing is really inspiring and what makes him so likeable.
You forgot that he is also very persistent and never gives up, no matter the circumstances or his legendary bad luck.
Donald is my favourite Disney character because he is so relatable. He is not perfect by a long shot, but that does not make him a bad person either.
I grew up with Disney comics which always fleshed his character out more than cartoon shorts. And in the comics Donald coming around in the end, doing the right thing despite all his faults, well it's been done for ever.
Donald Duck comics actually were helpful for me as kid. I often felt like the world hated me tor various things, that what I tried tended to not work out, *and* I had anger issues, so Donald was *extra* relatable to me. So, because he was so relatable, I felt that if I was stuck with his bad traits his good traits were something I thrieved to have, too. Somehow along the way I did overcome the anger issues, but Donald is still the Disney chracater I emphasize with the most.
@@misfithog5855 Same for me!
This literally me except without working hard
He also lives a kinda suck life
I have always loved his piano duel with Daffy Duck in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Pure chaos. Leave it to the ducks to have the best cameo in the movie.
Me too, it's a crime that we still haven't gotten a Roger Rabbit sequel!
@@cameronjacobs7414 there are many reasons why we didnt get a sequel. You should look it up, there is a video explaining it. It's pretty interesting
I can't believe they didn't mention it in this clip!
It's honestly kind of remarkable how little Donald Duck's character design has changed since the 30s (not counting the latest TV shows like DuckTales 2017 and the Mickey Mouse shorts). While a lot of other Disney characters have evolved over the years to fit the time periods, Donald has been overall very consistent in both his animation and comics appearances.
To me, Donald has always been the most relatable out of the main trio, since his bad lot in life as well as overall attitude towards it. His struggle through life is probably why he is so popular up in the Nordic countries where I happen to live as well. In terms of overall popularity here, Donald completely dwarfs Mickey and Goofy, which is aided by the fact that Donald's world is far more fleshed out thanks to people like Carl Barks and Don Rosa. Also helps that DuckTales exist, both the 80s and 2017 versions. :)
A good design needs very little changes.
Like what the Junior Woodchuck from 2017 Ducktales said
"Built things right the first time, they don't need modification"
85 years and hasn't worn pants all that time.
Keep it up you legend.
A prototype-Donald who wears pants? What travesty is this?
well Micky mouse at first wore no clothes.
@@caseysmith544 WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!?
@@caseysmith544 Mickey always wore clothes.
I think they are talking about the mouse at Laugh-O-Gram studios
Being European, you grow up with Donald Duck being the front figure of Disney, _especially_ in comic books. Even in Sweden we have the tradition of "watching Donald Duck on Christmas" which is just what we call old classic Disney cartoons. Whether they were about Donald or not, we'd just collectively call them "Donald Duck". I've never really known anyone who'd talk about Mickey Mouse as a face for Disney, everyone just seemed to favour Donald (and Goofy) instead. My brother would collect the DuckTales comic pocket books, and I'd subscribe to the weekly Donald Duck comic magazine.
I don't live in Europe anymore, so whenever Disney is brought up, I can't seem to find anyone who thinks as fondly back to Donald Duck when they think "Disney". But he has a special place in my heart, he's my favourite Disney character and the moment the DuckTales reboot was released I threw myself over it and haven't let go since. I really hope they bring back his European "superhero" alter ego, PK/Paperinik, for a reboot as well!
Fellow Swede here; I also own tons of Donald Duck pocket books! I never get tired of reading them. They were always so fun to read.
Strange, in Italy the key figure is Mickey Mouse. People subscribe to the Mickey Mouse comic
There is alot of duck in swedish role playing games
@@heysiri_officiali thought it was donald, didn’t they have a whole superhero comic book
@@Mamaluigi13 Yes, but they are collected from the Mickey Mouse comic
I think he’s seen in his best light in the 2017 duck tales. He takes on the loving but stern single father. He’s my favorite character in the show.
Donald was always one of my favourite characters probably a bit more than Mickey. I love many of his shows and at most the reboot of DuckTales. I also really love his comics. In the comics it shows more of his personality. In fact that his story is it shows that he’s kind of depressed which really makes sense for his character to have a bit of depression and him it explains his mood swings. I also thought you might’ve mentioned his family in the comics it shows that he has a really big family, with his iconic triplet nephews and most icon, his trillionaire uncle; Scrooge McDuck. I think there’s a lot to say about Donald duck not just his design and appearances. He is loveable, persistent, passionate and caring duck. Heck I think the one of the best things about him is that he as the fight to be positive, because a lot of people and his iconic bad luck knock him down. And I think that the best thing about him is he never gives up, Mickey on the other hand never has trouble with being positive. I love a fighter and that’s why I love Donald duck.
Your now my hero
It seems like Donald just has more personality overall. I can't really name any of Mickey's personality traits; he's just sort of an everyman.
Donald Duck I love u Donald Duck 😘😊❤️
Carl Barks and Don Rosa really made the Duck universe stand on it's own
Agree ; ) @@Tobio88
Donald is especially great in the DuckTales reboot.
Huey, Dewey, and Louie exasperate him, but he loves them so much! I think it's great that he took the triplets in after his sister Della"s disappearance. He's overprotective of them at times, but it's easy to understand why.
You can also see clearly that Donald misses Della. A lot!
And then she comes home. The current series has the guts to finally answer the question of what ever happened to Della Duck. And they did it spectacularly.
Eh. DT17 made him too inconsistent. He has a more badass fighting skill than they portray there.
You know Donald has willpower when he takes off in the bullet shaped rocket that Lunaris said “no living thing could’ve survived” and yet when he nearly passes out he just says “the kids” as they are the main reason he escaped: to ensure they were safe.
I like Donald more than Mickey
Most do
If you got Xbox I can do the voice :)
I don't have Xbox but thanks you have a great talent if you can do a Donald ducks voice:)
Donald and Goofy are really funny together, IMO
Juliette Wolff me too!!!!
Donald Duck was somebody I related to immensely as a kid. I had communication issues early on in my life (later was diagnosed with autism as an adult) and due to my frustrations of not being understood I had a short temper and would lash out. Knowing there was a character out there, even as a cartoon one who's not real, made me feel I wasn't alone.
Donald & Goofy are the best Disney characters of all time
If Legend of The Three Caballeros doesn't end up on Disney+ I'm going to be very mad. It is such a good show.
It was one of those few shows that I watched on TH-cam as people uploaded it because it just sort of appeared one day and I didn’t fully trust Disney to release on Blu-Ray or on streaming services.
It’s on Disney+
I just finished watching the show, and Holy cow, everyone should watch it. My favorite character and his amigos have a new spotlight. 💙💚❤
I always found Donald Duck to be more funny
Like Daffy over Bugs, I too preferred Donald over Mickey
Same
You Are With The Ducks, Ey? Daffy is My Favourite
You have a thing for ducks?
Same here
Donald is by far my favorite Disney character--I have to say that the new Ducktales design is my favorite (something about the black sailor suit is so sleek!!)
Der Fuehrer's Face and the Three Caballeros have always been my favorites. Donald was meant to be frustrated every man. He shows us that we may not always come out on top but, that doesn't mean we should stop trying.
Also interesting that for a period of time Donald was the mascot for The University of Oregon Athletics from 1947 until 2010, and his likeness is still the basis of The Oregon Duck to this day.
Didn’t know that - Just had a look. Very cool!
I was exposed to Mickey through television, but Donald Duck made my childhood through his comic book features in Vietnam. He was super popular back then to the point of having fanclubs, and he still is now.
In Finland Donald Duck is by far the most popular comic and the most popular magazine as well. Everyone knows him and nearly everyone has read it in their childhood. Nobody here cares about Mickey Mouse, although he sometimes appears on the Donald Duck magazine.
Same thing here in Sweden. :-)
Same here in Germany. But there is one question I never got an answer for. Why is his clothing black in comics. I never saw him wearing black in cartoons? Maybe there's someone here who knows more about this.
@@fastrockstar1705 Vielleicht weil es mit schwarz billiger ist
Also Norway, had the pleasure to meet Don Rosa a couple of months ago, can't say other than i was starstruck!
@@Apeloff1992 heldig!! synd at bladene stadig blir mindre populære her i norge siden kidsa i dag ikke leser tegneserier lenger.
I always liked Donald more then Micky.
Micky was alsways kinda boring in comparison in my opinion.
I can see your point mostly becauce Micky is just too good and almost "perfect". Unlike Donald who have clearly Big bad traits (His legendary short temper and bad luck of course) he have some good traits which makes him far more relatable
Also unlike Mickey, he had to work hard with his own bad luck (as of the classic op didn't ring it), even against the likes of the triplets, his uncle scrooge, or even cousin Gladstone. But that trait shows that he's a very determined character who's devoted to his loved ones and himself
No Mickey
I love all of Donalds designs! I'm much more of a Donald fan than Mickey and hope Disney releases some special DVD/ Blurays to celebrate his anniversary!
Then you should check out Don Rosa works, a cartoonartist thet makes Donald Duck cartoons. And the artwork on does comics is outstanding.
They are very popular in Europe.
ah Donald Duck! he has a very special place in my heart as I used to draw him professionally for European Donald Duck comic releases (60% covers 20% 3 panels and 10% other)
well, my point is there's is an earlier version of Donald in an early Mickey cartoon as one of the unnamed barnyard animals here the duck sports a Mickey Mouse-esk short he has wings huge eyes and spiky webbed feet
Happy 85th Birthday, Donald Duck! ^^
wolfguy23 thank you
Hes even older than Donald Trump
@@brownalec602
...Dude. Seriously?? >_
@@VSaber365 Dolan
I've always loved the "Moving Day" 1936 Era with the squash and stretch I trounced for the characters. These were my favorite designs of Mickey, Donal and Goofy and I've always loved this Era cartoons the most!
Donald has always been my favorite Disney and overall cartoon/comic book character along with Spider-Man. I grew up in the 70s and 80s so that's my favorite version of the character. I do prefer him when he's happy though because when he's mad it makes me feel sorry for him.
You should do an evolution of Pete because he’s one of my fave honestly
Imma be honest the original donald design kinda scared me
I liked it
Thank you, SO MUCH, for keeping me company! 💞
He is just SO creepy to me, I don't know if I can face him right now. 😔
We need a feature length film like the old shorts, because these guys suprisingly haven’t been in many movies for the recognition they have throughout the world
Donald Duck was really first introduction to Mickey. He was my first Disney love and gave my world new vision with Donald in Mathimagic Land and the Three Caballeros.
I love Donald far more than Mickey Mouse. He has some bad traits. He has a bad temper. He can be mean, and greedy. Yet , he can be kind, and caring. Donald is more like us, with some good, and some bad traits . I find Mickey Mouse to be far too good. Also one-dimensional.
I agree.
Donald Duck is my BOI, my godparents used to put on VHS classic Disney shorts whenever I stayed over & while Goofy was funny, Donny always had the best gags
I love Donald Duck his outburst always made me laugh as a kid. The fact that we can also understand his duck talk is cool 😁
Yes! I love Donald Duck!
Me too
Carl Barks stories really made me understand and love Donald. He's struggling to survive, and raise his nephews. He sometimes thinks he knows all the angles, but can be tricked sometimes. He deals with the ups and downs of life, only on a slightly more exaggerated scale. Donald is a web-footed every man in Barks stories.
My dad used to do a really good Donald Duck impression when I was a kid since I really liked Donald..his temper tantrums where the absolute highlights of any short..I personally like any of the shorts where he is the antagonist against Chip and Dale, the slapstick in those are some of the best.
They’re my personal favorites too
Disney was part of my childhood and so was Donald Duck whenever I'm laughing or watching him in House of Mouse and probably Kingdom Hearts and his video game.
Great video Dave! Donald Duck is one of, if not my favourite classic Disney character. It was very interesting to see all the changes the old duck went through that I had no idea about!
Excellent work as always, and keep it up!!
Thanks Blake!
I’ll be honest, I grew up seeing Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Donald, so I’m always a big fan of his design there. I think it’s the best one.
Me even tho it was german dub and I think that was the first catoon with that ver.of Donald
When about his outfit for me that are most iconic that will be his light blue suit and red bow tie
honestly the first-very early design of donald are super cute, I kinda prefer it tbh.
I love Donald Duck. Even though he doesn’t appear much in this movie I absolutely loved Duck Tales Treasure of the last lamp, growing up. I watched it so many times. I still have it on VHS
donald in mickey mouse clubhouse is the realist character
when he saw a planet that looked like mickey he says "mickey mickey mickey its always about mickey" and another time he was sat on by a horse he says "why does this always happen to me"
I'd like to see more Donald/Daffy crossover.
Interesting thing. On occasion, Daffy has actually flown like a real duck. As far as I know, Donald has never taken to the air.
Donald Duck clothing
Normal wear = Pants off
Swimwear = Pants on
Outside of Gyro and Launchpad. It seems like no male duck in the Disney universe wears pants.
I love Donald Duck too
Despite his iconic bad luck and semi intelligible voice. Donald has always been the character who’ll never back down from anything regardless of the obstacles he faces. He is also very relatable cause he has many bad traits that most people have along with good traits as well. He may be short tempered on the outside, but on the inside he is very loving and caring towards the people he loves and will do anything to protect them. I always felt that Mickey had a very one dimensional personality which is why I’ve always liked Donald more. Especially when I started following the Ducktales franchise.
As for the design, I seemed to like him best in his comic design with the black sailor outfit with yellow buttons, red bow tie and blue beret.
Donald is like Ash
Many years in existance, yet never ages
You can say that about any classic cartoon character...
@@themadladorian4364 except Goofy... He aged backwards
I love Donald Duck.
Donald is my ALL time favorite classic Disney Characters of all. I still enjoy Mickey but my two are always going to be Donald and Goofy. My favorite all time theatrical short of Donald Duck is "Modern Inventions" from 1937. I love all the neat looking inventions that are made up. Some of them look like they could be made since of the 21 centenary. But my all time favorite Mickey, Goofy and Donald short will always be "The Lonesome Ghost." Gets me to laughing everytime.
“Modern Inventions” was actually a Mickey Mouse cartoon reused as a Donald Duck cartoon even though Mickey is not featured in the cartoon
Personally, I've always found the Carl Barks comics version of Donald to be my goto version. I understand you were only looking at the animated versions, but Carl's work is above reproach and deserves a mention even if it's only in the comments. I just discovered you today, excellent work, new subscriber.
Not only is he the best Disney character but in my opinion probably the most powerful, I mean just watch any episode of the new Ducktales with him losing it, once he's angry he can take down anyone and anything, you just don't fuck with the duck!
There's also him using Zettaflare in Kingdom Hearts, which makes him stronger than Bahamut, who is the most powerful summon in Final Fantasy.
Not just in DT17. Hell, DT17 nerfed him and made his fighting style stupid. In his older cartoons and newer Mickey Mouse shorts, he's destroyed a city, punched out sharks, and lifted up trees.
My mom told me that she should’ve named me « Donald Duck » because of my uncontrollable temper tantrums as a kid
Your mom is epic
I’ve been really curious about this but why did Disney use Donald over Mickey in WW2 propaganda. I mean Mickey really is the face of the franchise but it’s Donald who is basically an American hero. I’d just like more information on the motivation of that
I speak about it a bit more in the Mickey video.
Mickey was too valuable an asset to the studio to “send him to war”. He was young, childlike an innocent and the company didn’t want to ‘tarnish’ his image by sending him off to the battlefields to fight in a war.
Donald on the other hand was feisty, temperamental and an enormous trouble maker. They could send him off to war without ruining his wholesome image. It suited Donald more.
Also, around this time, Donald was certainly more popular with audiences than Mickey was.
I always found Duck Duck’s personality more interesting and entertaining than Mickey Mouse.
I can't believe how many years it's been since I've watched Donald Duck shorts with Chip N' Dale growing up.
I loved Donald Duck in the cartoon Soup's On. It was where the nephews tricked him into thinking he had died so they could hog all the dinner. I loved the part at the end where he was so mad at the boys that he'd turned into a devil! And I loved the cartoon where he was screaming at Harpo Marx and Harpo put him in his place!
My favorite Disney character! Love Donald Fauntleroy Duck!
Missing one iteration with a lot of zippers here
Mickael Frimann we don’t do that here
@@joeye1015 Doesn't mean there shouldn't me a small shout out.
As I said in this video, this video is not about every single appearance of the character ever and certainly isn’t about every single costume he’s ever worn. It’s about the most important moments in the evolution of the character’s design.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder I thought it was pretty big with how much it's shown up but I suppose that's just my opinion.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder I mean you had quack pack in there Also KH3 just came out so pretty relevant. But still a great video
How many years before that inevitable Goofy video? Cos lets be honest, he's the best one 😊
He’s next, and I ain’t waiting for an anniversary 😉
It is very hard to pick a favorite moment when talking about my all-time favorite cartoon character! But I would say it might be any time during his early years, between his debut and his post-war era.
I think a lot of people like Donald because he's not scared to be mean. Like Mickey can be mean but like not like Donald and he's worldly.
I absolutely LOVE Donald Duck! He's just slightly below my all-time favorite Disney character, Goofy. My favorite shorts are the classics that feature Mickey, Donald, and Goofy! I can't pick between those wonderful shorts! I also really like the new Micke shorts in the newer style.
The donald evolution of the 30s was great, it was peak expresive donald. However, my favorite design is the Ducktales2017 version in which he uses the black sailor uniform from the barks/rosa comics. Plus, personality-wise, dt17 donald is caring, empathetic, a great dad and still really fun slapstick-wise.
Its so nice to see that Donald's iconic temper tantrum still cracks me up. I don't know if it's the same for new generations, but he seems to have held up quite well over the years.
Always love a good Donald tantrum.
Mickey was never the main Disney character to me. Donald was always number 1.
"Donald and Pluto" were on a Donald Duck VHS that I used to watch a lot when I was little! Didn't know it was that old!
I want Who Framed Roger Rabbit 2.
Those scenes between Daffy and Donald and Mickey and Bugs were epic.
I Love The -Quiet- Donald Duck!
(Also, My Favorite Appearances Of Him Are The Newer Ones Where He Has Pie Eyes!)
I'm amazed on how many times his costume got redesigned. Didn't notice some of them at all, good job with the video man😁😁
It will 2034 by the time he turns 100
I actually consider Donna Duck to be Daisy’s sister or cousin.
Me too.
Consider donna duck as ex of donald duck
Favorite Donald Duck appearance? Well... It is not every day you get to see Donald Ducks super hero alter ego in powered armor fighting aliens, but in PKNA (Paperinik New Adventures), that seems to happen more than usual. So the PKNA Donald Duck would be my choice.
Would love for PKNA to get an animated treatment.
I like Donald best with a blue jacket with yellow lines, yellow buttons, blue hat and red bowtie. It gives him a healthy variety of colors. The other ones all look a bit pale to me.
They better give Donald Duck something special for his 90th.
This here is a Great Donald Duck Follow-up.It's always interesting to know new trivial details like when some characters appear prior to their otherwise thought of debuts.
one of my all time favorite DD moments is in Mickey and the Beanstalk when he loses his mind after he looks at his thinly sliced beans and bread and goes after the cow.
He was in the USMC in WWII.
Just look at the cartoon “commando Duck”, he wiped out an entire Japanese airbase and was shot at by machine guns and snipers. He is now suffering from PTSD and that’s why his personality changed after his first appearance and that is also why he is always annoyed and has a short temper. He has anger issues. And in a comic book called “Donald Duck Has The Blues” he has PTSD. It’s a very rare comic book to find on the internet or elsewhere and there are no YT vids on it.
That’s the history on PVT (Now Gunnery Sergeant) Duck’s military service. Simper Fi Donald Duck.
I like the Ducktales 2017 design
I love 1936 design of Donald. I hate they changed to 3D. 3D is so lifeless.
2d cartoons are way better than 3D cartoons
You forgot to mention that now, thanks to KH3, Donald is officially the strongest mage in the entire Final Fantasy universe.
Not relevant to the video
@@DaveLeeDownUnder I know, it was just a joke.
Before Mickey, Donald Duck is my first Disney idol.
He is my favourite and since playing Dreamlight Valley I’ve really started collecting more Donald merch…cups, totes, water bottles…I’m a it obsessed with the cute little duck.
I always found I funny that Mickey is the head of Disney but Donald has been in much more media.
Another fact:
In Quack Pack Donald's 1934-1936 desing makes an appearence as a prank donald made for an episode
I like Donald in every drawing style except at the beginning because the beak is so long
And his head is too short, it's creepy! 😖
Happy birthday 90th year Donald Duck
Great history lesson about Donald Duck! Thank you. Amazing how overwhelmingly he out shined Mickey Mouse in the amount of shorts produced.
Here in Sweden, Donald Duck (Kalle Anka) is a big thing. The main face of Disney and far more popular than Mickey Mouse. The Donald Duck comic is one of the biggest prints and the traditional Disney show on Christmas eve broadcast on our main channel is called "Kalle Ankas jul" (=Donald Duck's Christmas). :-)
Thank you!
It's pretty crazy -- but Disney realised there was no love for an innocent little mouse (or, a child as Walt as he saw him) during wartime, and audiences wanted heroes, characters who would stand up against the world, and not someone who couldn't do anything. It is quite remarkable how Mickey never really recovered from then on though.
It's so wonderful how huge Donald is in Europe - definitely has to do with the enormous popularity of the comics.
Thanks for you heart Dave Lee I love your video
Thank you!
@@DaveLeeDownUnder I am a 9 year old girl from Mexico who can speak English well, I am your fan

I know exactly what you mean... Donald's original design used to give young me nightmares...
I just looked at it now, and it's just...
*I'm friggin' 19 years old, I don't want to be where you were as a kid!*
*I should NOT be doing this, Who TF fears one of Disney's most legendary masterpieces?!!!*
C'mon, like I wasn't having nightmares and trouble with sleep already! 💔
Donald just looks weird without buttons on hus shirt.
Agreed
It looks like the sweater
Agreed. It doesn’t look like a sailor’s outfit without them.
I remember watching Donald Duck and its one of my favorite Disney character
Donald Duck
Mickey mouse
Goofy
Tom&Jerry
Looney Toons
Woody Woodpecker
Felix the cat
Etc
*I love all of them!*
I did not watch many Disney shorts or movies as kid. Dedspite this I grew up knowing and loving Donald Duck, as Disney comics are very popular in my country of birth. The Disney Duck universe is, to this day, the comic universe I feel the most confortable in.
Donald always was my favourite Disney character. He is stubborn, somewhat greedy, and incredibly temperamental. And despite this he also has a big heart and good morals ( even if they sometimes are burried a bit deeper down). He may be tempted do do something bad, or even actually the wrong thing, but he always, always will come around in the end.
Donald has more bad luck than anybody deserves, but he never freaking gives up. He'll pluck along, finding a way to support his family somehow. And he actually *is* good in a lot of jobs, he just ends to get overly confident or manic and things go wrong in the end. - And sometimes something good happens to him after all and I smile, happy that even the universe's chew toy sometimes has good things happen to him.
So, my favourite Donald appearance? I don't know. There are too many good Donald stories out there to choose.
Donald Duck is by far my favorite Disney character. Mickey is fine and all but just like the audience of the 40s Donald is who I gravitate to
Happy Birthday Donald Duck!!!!🦆
Wow, this must have taken you ages to put together, thanks Dave. I didn't realise that Donald had appeared in so much. I also never noticed any changes in his appearance either (I guess I'm just not very observant lol) take care mate.👍😀👍
Yeah, took a few days to put together mate! Glad you enjoyed it!
I think the fact you didn’t notice any of the changes is great, they try to do these things slowly, without audiences knowing. I learned a little myself researching this one.
Oml dude Donald is bae-
And my fav version's of him are in legend of the three caballeros and 2017 ducktales.
Ducktales 2017 make it relevant as to why Donald changed less on the design departure
Junior Woodchuck quote from the episode ""nothing can stop Della Duck"
"Built things right the first time,then they don't need modification"
Kingdom hearts really changed how I remember characters... Wow
