In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film-maker Walter Disney.
He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon film for children. When Walter
Disney heard Nash's voice, he said, "Stop! That's our duck!"
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film, The Wise
Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and worn his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he
became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he
was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very easily. And they loved his voice when he
became angry with Mickey's eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse
himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody, like Mickey.
In the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, Donald and his friends Mickey, Go
ofy and Pluto made hundreds
of Disney cartoons. He also made educational film about the place of the USA in the world, and safety
in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared-there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons on the
television and hear that famous voice.
