There’s a little Donald in all of us – Donald Duck actor marks 90th anniversary
The cartoon duck, known for his semi-intelligible speech and ill-temper, is celebrating the 90th milestone anniversary.
The voice actor of Donald Duck has said he feels the disgruntled Disney character is still entertaining audiences after 90 years because “there’s a little Donald in all of us”.
The cartoon duck, known for his semi-intelligible speech and ill-temper, is celebrating the 90th milestone anniversary on Sunday after making his film debut in 1934 in the short cartoon The Wise Little Hen.
Tony Anselmo, who has voiced the Disney character since 1985, thinks Donald has become more relevant over the years due to there being “more frustration than there used to be”.
Reflecting on the character’s legacy, Anselmo told the PA news agency: “I think it’s because most people can relate to him because there’s a little Donald in all of us.
“If you watch Walt Disney’s Donald Duck cartoons, he’s really a pretty good-natured guy. He likes to have fun and he has ambitions.
“He sets out to do something and it’s only when something gets in his way that he gets mad.
