Donald Duck Has 225 Films to His Name Donald Duck Has 225 Films To His Name National Donald Duck Day is observed annually on June 9th. This day commemorates the birthday of the funny animal cartoon character, Donald Duck. Donald made his first screen debut on June 9, 1934, in The Wise Little Hen. Donald Duck usually wears a sailor suit with a cap and a black or red bow tie and is most famous for his semi-intelligible speech along with his mischievous and irritable personality Donald Duck has appeared in more films than any other Disney character. Donald has 225 films to his name, according to IMDb. Donald was also declared in 2002 by TV Guide as one of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all times. It was in Donald’s second appearance in Orphan’s Benefit that he was introduced to his comic friend, Mickey Mouse. Donald’s girlfriend, Daisy Duck, along with his nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, were introduced shortly after that. In addition to animation, Donald is also known for his appearance in comic books and newspaper comic strips. One of Donald Duck’s famous sayings is “Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.” The renowned early illustrators of Donald Duck were Al Taliaferro, Carl Barks and Don Rosa. Donald Duck first appeared as a drawing in a May 1934 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine promoting the film The Wise Little Hen. The magazine is sought after by collectors. Donald has gone on to star in seven feature films — which is more than any of his Disney counterparts. He is six years younger than Mickey Mouse. He won an Oscar for the 1943 animated short Der Feuhrer’s Face, which was originally titled. Donald Duck in NutziLand – The anti-Nazi cartoon begins with music from Wagner’s comic opera Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg and also features Groucho Marx’s singing. Donald’s full name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck, he is normally seen wearing a sailor’s hat and shirt and either a black or red bow tie. He is an American cartoon character from The Walt Disney Company. He Lives with his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie in a house in Duckburg. Donald gets annoyed easily and he is extensively known for his unstable temper. Donald Duck’s father’s name is Quackmore Duck, his mother’s name is Hortense McDuck and his twin sister is called Della Thelma Duck. Donald’s voice was performed by Clarence Nash from 9th June 1934, up until 1983. Nash trained Tony Anselmo who was the voice of Donald from 1985 and onwards. Donald Duck’s voice is one of the most recognizable voices of all animated characters. HIS BIRTHDAY IS MARCH 13, 1914. Traditionally, a character’s first appearance in a cartoon marks its birthday—but in a late ’40s cartoon, it was revealed that Donald was born on March 13th. In his authorized biography published in 1941, we find out he was born on Friday the 13th. Some dedicated fans found all of the instances of Friday, March 13 and, using other clues from the Duck-verse, determined that Donald was born on March 13, 1914. DONALD IS COLORBLIND. Despite his snazzy sartorial taste—mainly sailor shirts and the like— Donald is actually believed to be at least partially colorblind. In the wartime short Donald Gets Drafted, Donald goes to his local draft board and joins the army, getting accepted despite identifying a green card with “green” written on it as blue, having flat feet, and having no brain (apparently, being a duck was not an issue). Donald is an American Pekin duck. His species was historically bred in China but became a popular commercial duck breed for egg and meat production in the U.S. after it was first brought to Long Island in 1873. Donald co-hosted the Oscars in 1958. He appeared at the movie-awards ceremony on film alongside the night’s other hosts — Bob Hope, Jack Lemmon, David Niven, Rosalind Russell and James Stewart. In 2005, Donald was given his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Sources: National Day Calendar Economic Times The Fact Site Mental Floss International Business Times .

  • Americana E-Journal of American Studies in Hungary
    AMERICANA E-JOURNAL OF AMERICAN STUDIES IN HUNGARY VOLUME X, NUMBER 1, SPRING 2014 "ANIMATED NOIR: INVESTIGATING WALT DISNEY’S FEMALE CHARACTERS OF THE 1940S AND 1950S" BY EMMA BÁLINT Emma Bálint is an MA student at the Institute of English and American Studies, University of Szeged. Email: emma.balint@ieas­szeged.hu INTRODUCTION Since the establishment of the studio in the early 1920s, the Walt Disney Productions’ animators have designed, drawn and animated numerous helpless damsels in distress, who always submissively abide by the rules of a strictly heterosexual and patriarchal realm. In the 1940s and 1950s, during the classical era of film noir, however, the animation studio daringly adopted the then popular cinematic style known for the portrayal of rather domineering women along with plots and themes generally unfit for young audiences. The purpose of this essay is to observe the overall influence of film noir on the renowned Disney imagery in the resulting animated noirs, namely Donald’s Crime (dir. Jack King, 1945), Duck Pimples (dir. Jack Kinney, 1945), and How to be a Detective (dir. Jack Kinney, 1952), with a particular focus on the way the typical Disney female character has been merged with the stereotypical noir woman, the femme fatale, who, in contrast, possesses both agency and narrative significance. Following a brief description of the era dominated by and the visual and narrative elements characteristic of the film noir style, I will discuss the short films and the female characters featured in them with the help of certain notions of psychoanalytic and feminist film theories, which have both been extremely influential in the study of film noir in general.

    Journal of Religion & Society Volume 6 (2004) ISSN 1522-5658 David, Mickey Mouse, and the Evolution of an Icon1 Lowell K. Handy, American Theological Library Association Abstract The transformation of an entertaining roguish figure to an institutional icon is investigated with respect to the figures of Mickey Mouse and the biblical King David. Using the three-stage evolution proposed by R. Brockway, the figures of Mickey and David are shown to pass through an initial entertaining phase, a period of model behavior, and a stage as icon. The biblical context for these shifts is basically irretrievable so the extensive materials available for changes in the Mouse provide sufficient information on personnel and social forces to both illuminate our lack of understanding for changes in David while providing some comparative material for similar development. Introduction [1] One can perceive a progression in the development of the figure of David from the rather unsavory character one encounters in the Samuel narratives, through the religious, righteous king of Chronicles, to the messianic abstraction of the Jewish and Christian traditions.2 The movement is a shift from “trickster,” to “Bourgeoisie do-gooder,” to “corporate image” proposed for the evolution of Mickey Mouse by Robert Brockway.3 There are, in fact, several interesting parallels between the portrayals of Mickey Mouse and David, but simply a look at the context that produced the changes in each character may help to understand the visions of David in three surviving biblical textual traditions in light of the adaptability of the Mouse for which there is a great deal more contextual data to investigate.

  • The Walt Disney Silly Symphony Cartoons and American Animation in the 1930S
    Exploration in Imagination: The Walt Disney Silly Symphony Cartoons and American Animation in the 1930s By Kendall Wagner In the 1930s, Americans experienced major changes in their lifestyles when the Great Depression took hold. A feeling of malaise gripped the country, as unemployment rose, and money became scarce. However, despite the economic situation, movie attendance remained strong during the decade.1 Americans attended films to escape from their everyday lives. While many notable live-action feature-length films like The Public Enemy (1931) and It Happened One Night (1934) delighted Depression-era audiences, animated cartoon shorts also grew in popularity. The most important contributor to the evolution of animated cartoons in this era was Walt Disney, who innovated and perfected ideas that drastically changed cartoon production.2 Disney expanded on the simple gag-based cartoon by implementing film technologies like synchronized sound and music, full-spectrum color, and the multiplane camera. With his contributions, cartoons sharply advanced in maturity and professionalism. The ultimate proof came with the release of 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the culmination of the technical and talent development that had taken place at the studio. The massive success of Snow White showed that animation could not only hold feature-length attention but tell a captivating story backed by impressive imagery that could rival any live-action film. However, it would take nearly a decade of experimentation at the Disney Studios before a project of this size and scope could be feasibly produced. While Mickey Mouse is often solely associated with 1930s-era Disney animation, many are unaware that alongside Mickey, ran another popular series of shorts, the Silly Symphony cartoons.

The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.
