Donald Duck : 2001 Finland

2001-Mar-13 Finland

Donald Duck's 50th Anniversary - Donald Fauntleroy Duck is a cartoon character created by the Walt Disney Company. Donald is an anthropomorphic white duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He typically wears a sailor shirt and cap with a bow tie. Donald is known for his semi-intelligible speech and his mischievous, temperamental, and pompous personality. Along with his friend Mickey Mouse, Donald was included in TV Guide's list of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time in 2002, and has earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has appeared in more films than any other Disney character.

Donald's first appearance was in The Wise Little Hen (1934), but it was his second appearance in Orphan's Benefit that same year that introduced him as a temperamental comic foil to Mickey Mouse.

Walt Disney came up with Donald's iconic attributes including his short temper and his sailor suit. While Dick Huemer and Art Babbit were the first to animate Donald, Dick Lundy is credited for developing him as a character.
