Here's a quick look at who Donald is, what makes him tick, and why he still matters today.

Donald Fauntleroy Duck is a hot-headed, easily agitated, yet fiercely loyal sailor created by Walt Disney Productions. First appearing in 1934's Silly Symphonies cartoon The Wise Little Hen, Donald quickly became a fan favorite for his comedic rage and unpredictable behavior.
