Donald Duck

Donald Duck is an animated cartoon and comic-book character from Walt Disney Productions. Donald is a white anthropomorphic duck with yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He usually wears a sailor shirt and cap — but no pants (except when he goes swimming). more...

Some people believe that Finland banned him because he has no trousers, but this is an urban legend, .

Donald's famous voice, one of the most identifiable voices in all of animation, was until 1985 performed by voice actor Clarence "Ducky" Nash. Nash came from the rural community of Watonga, Oklahoma, and due to his voice acting rose far above his economic milieu. It was largely this semi-intelligible speech that would cement Donald's image into audiences' minds and help fuel both Donald's and Clarence's rise to stardom.

According to the cartoon Donald Gets Drafted (1942), Donald's full name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck (his middle name appears to be a reference to his sailor hat, which was a common accessory for Fauntleroy suits). (To find Donald's name in other countries, please see Disney characters' names in various languages.) Disney's website also states his name as Donald Fauntleroy Duck. Donald's birthday is generally represented as June 9, 1934, the day his debut film was released, but in The Three Caballeros, his birthday is given as simply "Friday the Thirteenth." In Donald's Happy Birthday (short) it has his birthday as the 13th of March.
