On June 9, 1934, Donald Fauntleroy Duck made his debut upon the world's big entertainment stage in "The Wise Little Hen."1
Donald has since appeared in more films than any other Disney character and he is the fifth-most published comic book character.2Donald's distinctive speech was voiced by Clarence Nash3 for fifty years.
And thus it was, eighty years ago today.
1The pig character is Peter Pig, not Porky.
