  Donald Duck   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Donald's appearance in the cartoon, as created by animator Dick Lundy, is similar to his modern look — the colors are the same, as is the blue sailor shirt and hat — but his features are more elongated, his body plumper, and his feet bigger.
Donald's act is to recite the poems Mary Had a Little Lamb and Little Boy Blue, but every time he tries, the mischievous orphans taunt him or harass him, leading the Duck to fly into a squawking fit of anger.
Donald is repeatedly attacked, harassed, and ridiculed by his nephews, by the chipmunks Chip n Dale, or by other one-shot characters such as a bear or a colony of ants.
