'''Donald Fauntleroy Duck''' is a character who stars in cartoons and comics produced by [[The Walt Disney Company]], introduced as a supporting character in the 1934 Silly Symphony ''[[wikipedia:The Wise Little Hen|The Wise Little Hen]]''. He is a white anthropomorphic duck whose most famous personality trait is his easily provoked and explosive temper. He soon rose to become the studio's major star, eclipsing [[Mickey Mouse]] in popularity and starring in more than 100 theatrical cartoons through 1961. He was also a major star in comics (gathering an equally popular array of co-stars such as his nephews [[Huey, Dewey and Louie]] and uncle [[Scrooge McDuck]]), and remains an active figure in Disney television shows, comic books, and countless shows and parades at the Disney theme parks.
