In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film maker Walt Disney He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon films for children When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said “Stop! That’s our duck!”
The duck was the now famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen Later that year, he became a famous star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews Soon, Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself
