National Donald Duck Day 2021: 10 Fun Quotes By The Beloved Cartoon Character

National Donald Duck Day is celebrated in the United States every year on June 9 to commemorate the birthday of the beloved cartoon character, which first appeared on screen in "The Wise Little Hen" on June 9, 1934.

The popularity of the anthropomorphic duck -- with his yellow bill, legs, and feet, and a trademark sailor shirt, cap and bow-tie -- might only be second to that of the legendary Mickey Mouse. Since 1934, the character has featured in over theatrical films, which is more than any other Disney character. In 2002, Donald Duck also featured in TV Guide’s list of top 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time.
