It’s a monumental year for Donald Duck, as Disney launches an epic 90th-anniversary celebration befitting one of its most beloved characters. The festivities kicked off with a grand salute on Good Morning America, where fans were treated to an exclusive preview. The morning show revealed Donald Duck-inspired goodies and hosted an in-studio surprise party attended by none other than Donald Duck himself.
This multi-faceted celebration spans across various Disney domains, including Walt Disney Animation Studios, Disney parks, consumer products, and more. On June 9th, a new brand spot will make its debut, highlighting Donald’s enduring storytelling magic and commemorating his first appearance in the 1934 Silly Symphony short, *The Wise Little Hen*.
Good Morning America’s spotlight featured over 70 themed products from 20+ iconic brands like American Tourister, Casetify, and Loungefly. And that’s just the beginning! Throughout the summer, look forward to fresh additions from Cakeworthy, Citizen, Forever 21, GAP, PEZ, and more. This campaign offers an exhilarating journey through Donald Duck’s significant contributions to Disney’s legacy, celebrating not just his lovable personality and memorable outbursts but his indelible impact on pop culture.
In a treat for movie buffs, Disney+ will stream two newly restored classic shorts from Disney Legend Jack Hannah: *Crazy Over Daisy* and *Out on a Limb*. June 9 is the day to mark as Donald returns to the small screen in *D.I.Y. Duck*, a new short directed by soon-to-be Disney Legend Mark Henn. Bursting with home-repair antics, this short features archival voice recordings of Clarence “Ducky” Nash, the original voice of Donald Duck.
The celebrations stretch globally with Tokyo Disneyland’s “Donald’s Quacky Duck City” and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort’s “Donald’s Birthday Duckling Dance,” extending to July 7. The Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank isn’t left out as Donald makes his presence felt with playful takeovers, like renaming Mickey Avenue to “Donald” Avenue.
