Donald Duck

Donald Duck is an animated cartoon and comic-book character best known for his cartoons 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). Some people believe that Finland banned him because he has no trousers, but this is an urban legend, explained here.

Donald's famous talk, one of the most identifiable voices in all of animation was, until 1985, performed by voice actor Clarence "Ducky" Nash. Nash's story was something of a fairy tale. He 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.

Like many old cartoon characters, Donald has no real set personality, but he is known for his bad temper, which often gets him into situations. Still, he remains content with life and is happy.
