Donald Duck’s first TV appearance may last just seven minutes, but his bold, unmistakable personality steals the show.

Donald’s debut in The Wise Little Hen (1934)

hort temper, huge heart! Donald’s fiery personality made him one of the most relatable Disney characters ever.

That iconic voice? It was Clarence Nash who gave Donald his unforgettable quack—he voiced him for over 50 years!
