Donald Duck

From where do you get that voice, Donald? The temperamental white duck with distinctive mannerism is famous for his semi-intelligent speeches which could solve any problem. But love spares before his love interest Daisy Duck. The cynical sidekick of Mickey Mouse and Scrooge McDuck, he remains the most loved cartoon character ever.

Tom and Jerry
