Donald Duck Cartoon: Commando Duck Donald Duck Against the Japanese 1944 WW2 Animated Propaganda Film by Walt Disney\r
Donald Duck Cartoon first appeared in the 1934 cartoon The Wise Little Hen which was part of the Silly Symphonies series of theatrical cartoon shorts. The films release date of June 9 is officially recognized by the Walt Disney Company as Donalds birthday[11] despite a couple in-universe contradictions.[12] Donalds appearance in the cartoon, as created by animator Dick Lundy, is similar to his modern look — the feather and beak colors are the same, as is the blue sailor shirt and hat — but his features are more elongated, his body plumper, and his feet smaller. Donalds personality is not developed either; in the short, he only fills the role of the unhelpful friend from the original story.\r

Burt Gillett brought Donald back in his Mickey Mouse cartoon, Orphans Benefit, released August 11, 1934. Donald is one of a number of characters who are giving performances in a benefit for Mickeys Orphans. Donalds act is to recite the poems Mary Had a Little Lamb and Little Boy Blue, but every time he tries, the mischievous orphans heckle him, leading the duck to fly into a squawking fit of anger. This explosive personality would remain with Donald for decades to come.\r

Donald continued to be a hit with audiences. The character began appearing regularly in most Mickey Mouse cartoons. Cartoons from this period, such as the 1935 cartoon The Band Concert — in which Donald repeatedly disrupts the Mickey Mouse Orchestras rendition of The William Tell Overture by playing Turkey in the Straw — are regularly hailed by critics as exemplary films and classics of animation. Animator Ben Sharpsteen also minted the classic Mickey, Donald, and Goofy comedy in 1935, with the cartoon Mickeys Service Station.\r

In 1936, Donald was redesigned to be a bit fuller, rounder, and cuter, the first to feature this design was the cartoon Moving Day. He also began starring in solo cartoons, the first of which was the January 9, 1937 Ben Sharpsteen cartoon, Don Donald. This short also introduced a love interest of Donalds, Donna Duck, who evolved into Daisy Duck.[13] Donalds nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie, would make their first animated appearance a year later in the April 15, 1938 film, Donalds Nephews, directed by Jack King (they had been earlier introduced in the Donald Duck comic strip by Al Taliaferro, see below). By 1938, most polls showed that Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse.[14] Disney could, however, help Mickey regain popularity by redesigning him, giving him his most appealing design as production for the Fantasia segment The Sorcerers Apprentice began in 1938.\r

After his early appearances, he went on to become part of the famed trio Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. He appeared in many of the cartoons, including Moving Day.\r
