I just want to wish good ol'Donald a happy birthday!:bosko:

[mac]

Wow! 70 happy years! I wish Disney still made a big thing of their characters' birthdays. I was only a baby when Donald was 50, but I know a big thing was made because I remember seeing Donald stuff with the 1934 - 1984 logo on it when I was older, as well as a repeat of a special T.V show celebrating the fact. Luckily we can celebrate it here!

I've got too many Donald favourites to mention but I love:
The Plastics Inventor
Clown of the Jungle
Spare the Rod
The recent wave of Treasures also provided some Donald shorts I had never seen before which have already become firm favourites:
Polar Trappers
Fire Chief
Truant Officer Donald
Der Fuehrer's Face

Happy Birthday, Donald!:donald:

I haven't seen many Donald cartoons (as well as Disney shorts in general) but from what I've seen already, his cartoons are pretty funny.

70 happy years, and you will never be forgotten!
