Happy Birthday Donald Duck

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DONALD DUCK! June 9, 1934 – Donald Duck made his debut in The Wise Little Hen. As the de facto mascot for The Walt Disney Company. Donald is an anthropomorphic white duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He typically wears a sailor suit with a cap and a black or red bow tie. Donald is most famous for his semi-intelligible speech and his mischievous and irritable personality. 
Donald's dominant personality trait is his short temper and, in contrast, his positive outlook on life. Many Donald shorts start with Donald in a happy mood, without a care in the world, until something comes and spoils his day. His anger is a great cause of suffering in the duck's life, and he has on multiple occasions got in over his head and lost competitions because of it. There are times when he fights to keep his temper, and he has succeeded a few times, but he always returns to his well known, aggressive self at the end of the day.
Donald's aggressive nature is a double-edged sword however, and while it at times is a hindrance and even a handicap for him, it has also helped him in times of need. When faced against a threat of some kind, Donald may get frightened and even intimidated (mostly by Pete), but rather than getting scared, he gets mad and has taken up fights with ghosts, sharks, mountain goats and even the forces of nature. And, more often than not, Donald has come out on top.
 
The achievement that probably would please Donald most, he has appeared in 128 films — more than his nemesis Mickey Mouse. And Donald’s fame goes clear around the world. Fans know him in Denmark as Anders And, in Indonesia as Donal Bebek and in Italy as Paperino.While Mickey Mouse often enjoys top billing in the United States, in much of Europe — especially among Germans — it is Donald Duck who is the undisputed star.
 In his first appearance in 1934, Donald Duck claimed to be sick so he will not be part of planting the corn crop.(see 2.00)until Mrs. Hen teaches them the value of labor .      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oglDDiv0mes
