In this hilarious eight-minute short, Donald’s Evil Self attempts to persuade Donald, not exactly the teacher’s-pet type to begin with, to skip school, go swimming and smoke a corncob pipe. Donald’s Good Self prevails over all.
In honor of the feathered fella himself, here are some Donald Duck fun facts: The first cartoon Donald appeared in was The Wise Little Hen, which debuted on June 9, 1934, which is also Donald’s official birthday. Clarence “Ducky” Nash, who voiced Donald for more than 50 years (1934–1985), developed the voice by imitating the craggy sound of a goat his family cared for when he was a child.
