Donald Duck
This date is celebrated in honor of the first appearance of this Walt Disney cartoon character created by Dick Landy in the short film “The Wise Little Hen” on June 9, 1934.

Is.
There was always something in the drawings that would excite him and ruin his day, but he always showed a good heart. Perhaps he was Disney’s most versatile character, with countless pursuits from fisherman to hockey player, curiously always with little talent but with lots of willpower.
Donald has been the protagonist of countless short films, comics, and animated children’s films, with his unique way of jumping on one leg when he gets angry for some reason. During his “career”, he was nominated for Oscar 8 times.
