Beginning on this day in 1948, the cartoon short Daddy Duck was on the bill at movie theaters, featuring Donald Duck. Our irascible hero finds himself in an adoption agency after deciding he wants to become a father. No, not to his nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, but to a bouncing baby kangaroo named Joey. Although his first day as a father is a bit of a tiring experience, it marked the start of beautiful relationship… at least for this one featurette, as this was Joey’s one and only appearance with our beloved duck.
