Donald Duck



Donald Duck is a popular Disney cartoon character who debuted as a supporting player in the 1934 short The Wise Little Hen. The duck soon rose to become the studio's major star, eclipsing Mickey Mouse, in more than 100 theatrical cartoons through 1961 (plus such features as The Three Caballeros and Fun and Fancy Free). The short-tempered, incomprehensible quacker was also a major star in comics (gathering an equally popular array of co-stars such as Huey, Dewey and Louie and Scrooge McDuck), made occasional appearances on radio, and remains an active figure in Disney TV cartoons, compilations, and parades.

Unlike Mickey, Donald has yet to interact directly with Kermit or any of the other Muppets. However, he has been referenced many times over the years.
