	Donald Duck
		Donald first appeared in the Silly Symphonies cartoon "The Wise Little Hen" on June 9, 1934 (though he is mentioned in a 1931 Disney storybook).
		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.
		The Donald of "The Wise Little Hen" made his printed debut in the newspaper comic strip adaptation of that cartoon.

	Silly Symphonies: Walt Disney Treasures Limited Edition Tin (1929-1939)
		The same applied to Donald Duck’s debut in “The Wise Little Hen”, which may be the best looking cartoon in the package.
		Dialogue sounded a little edgy at times, but for the most part, the lines were acceptably clear and accurate.
		They start with “The Three Little Pigs”, which was the first “SS” to produce lots of materials, and they go through the history of merchandising and show us many examples.

		The little Red Hen was just coming out of her door to pick up a few sticks for kindling wood.
		And as he spun, and spun, and spun, faster, and faster, and faster, the poor little Red Hen got so dizzy watching him that she couldn't hold on to the perch.
		she cut a little hole in the bag; then she poked her head out and saw where she was, and as soon as they came to a good spot she cut the hole bigger and jumped out herself.

		Plot Summary: The hen is looking for someone to help her plant her corn.
		The 'Silly Symphony', The Wise Little Hen feels more like one of those huge, books with thick cardboard pages you read to infants in order to help them learn basic words and morals.
		It may be notable for the first appearance of Donald Duck (in a supporting role) but the rest of it is mainly annoying.

		"The Wise Little Hen" (June 9, 1934 - Peter); most recently seen in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" (June 22, 1988) where he appears as he did in the "Wise Little Hen.").
		Upon his introduction, in the studio release before the theatrical premiere of "The Wise Little Hen" it is said that the Three Little Pigs came to Walt Disney and asked him to find an acting role for their cousin, Peter.
		Unfortunately, perhaps because of his grating voice, he was outshined by another newcomer,Donald Duck.

	Who's Afraid of ASCAP? Popular Songs in the Silly Symphonies
		This landmark song was conceived only to serve a simple functional purpose in the short: the two playful Pigs sang it to express their carefree personalities and to tease their hard-working brother.
		Lullaby Land, produced in the spring and summer of 1933 as Three Little Pigs was first appearing in theaters, illustrates the trend.
		The title character in The Wise Little Hen sings "Help Me Plant My Corn," the Three Pigs reprise "Who's Afraid" in The Big Bad Wolf, while other songs, like "See the Funny Little Bunnies" in Funny Little Bunnies or "The Penguin Is a Very Funny Creature" in Peculiar Penguins, are sung by offscreen choruses.

		Favorite Characters: Three Little Pigs, The Wise Little Hen, Three Little Wolves, Toby Tortoise Returns, and The Big Bad Wolf.
		Overall, as with the "Mickey" series, these cartoons had their fair share of little blemishes, but considering the age of these features, I was definitely still pleased, as they looked better than I'd have expected.

	Walt Disney's Timeless Tales: Volume Three DVD Review
		This Silly Symphony was one of the last shorts that Walt Disney himself directed and though his treatment seems unextraordinary, the tale still resonates and thus, the short diverts, regardless of the contempt Uncle Walt is said to have held for it.
		In this amusing little short, an elder beetle tries to impart a lesson to two young bugs who are feeling bad about their shortness.
		Actually, Amos appears to be standing outside as is The Wise Little Hen, who intentionally or not, has now become Little Hiawatha's target.

	The Tanglefoot Chronicles: A Case Study
		Among the most popular Disney storybooks of the 1930s were Whitman's series of "Big Little Books," which generally retold stories from the comic strips, illustrated with art from the strips themselves.
		In 1934 the "Tanglefoot" continuity was given a curious variation on this treatment: it was divided into a series of six "Wee Little Books," packaged in a slipcase.
		Like the Big Little Books, it was illustrated with the original comic art, but this book was produced on a more elaborate scale, with full-color illustrations.

	We all forgot Uncle Donald's Birthday! - Animation Show Forums
		Anyhow, according to some record, The Wise Little Hen premiered in theaters on June 8, 1934.
		Heh, I remember when his 50th came up 20 years ago, namely since they made a bigger deal about if then (and we got Disney Channel on our cables ystem at the time so I've got some recollection of it from a special they did on the duck, which I have on tape).
		It's rather amusing to see a cartoon character at his roots in these things (with Donald didn't look anything like the way he would morph into in the later part of the '30s and into the '40s onward).

	Donald Duck in "The Wise Little Hen"
		Donald Duck made his first appearance in "The Wise Little Hen," a Silly Symphony cartoon, on June 9, 1934.
		He made an encore performance in the Mickey Mouse cartoon, "The Orphan's Benefit," on August 11, 1934.
		Donald was an immediate hit with audiences who loved his fiery temper, and over the next decade he became so popular that he even surpassed Mickey Mouse in the number of cartoons in which he appeared.

		No, it all starts with the “Silly Symphony”; The Wise Little Hen, basically a retelling of the well-known (at least at the time) folk tale of a hen trying to plant corn and finding no one to help her.
		There is no hint of his temper or any of his other vices which made him so appealing.
		This is probably why Disney tends to stress Orphan’s Benefit (where Donald disrupts Mickey’s performance) over The Wise Little Hen.

		While all the shorts can be watched, and generally the color and video is fairly presreved, some like "The Wise Little Hen," "Three Little Wolves" and "Toby Tortoise Returns" show their age with shaky video and intermittent color fading at spots.
		Leonard Maltin's commentaries on his picks do help provide historical context on some shorts, such as the Wolf disguising as a Jewish peddler in "Three Little Pigs" and how that was common in the day (even if it didn't make it, in his words, "any less distasteful").
		As far as navigating the Gallery section, the main selection menu only shows a portion of each picture in a rectangular cutout at its full size, not as a thumbnail; unless you know exactly which picture you want to see, you must flip through the entire gallery at full-size until the picture is located.

		Like his 75-year-old friend Mickey Mouse, Donald's classic character, in trademark navy sailor's hat, red bowtie and blue shirt, arguably has been a bit overlooked in recent years, overshadowed by computer-animated critters such as Nemo the cute clownfish and Shrek the ogre, put out by non-Disney companies Pixar and DreamWorks.
