symphony short did he debut and on what date did

What is his middle name? And in which nineteen forty
11
00:00:51.280 --> 00:01:00.000
two cartoon did this appear? Question four? Which comics legend
12

heckel Mickey's orchestra by blasting out Turkey in the straw.
18
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.159
We'll be right back with these answers after this break
19
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:42.120
welcome back. Question one Donald Duck's debut short and date? Answer,
20
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.920
The Wise Little Hen June ninth, nineteen thirty four. Donald
21
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.480
made his on screen debut in The Wise Little Hen,
22
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.599
released June ninth, nineteen thirty four, and that date is
23
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.920
widely observed as his birthday. The short introduced his cheeky personality,
24
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.640
which quickly made him a Disney star. Question two who
25
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:05.159
first voiced Donald Duck? Answer Clarence Ducky Nash. Clarence Ducky
26
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:09.159
Nash originated Donald's signature voice in nineteen thirty four and
27
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.240
performed it for roughly fifty years. He later mentored animator
28
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.080
turned voice actor Tony Anselmo, who succeeded him as Donald's
29
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.199
official voice. Question three, Donald's middle name and the short
30
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.800
that revealed it? Answer Fauntleroy in Donald Gets Drafted. The
31
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.439
nineteen forty two short Donald Gets Drafted shows Donald's full
32
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.639
name as Donald Fauntleroy Duck. The gag became canon and
33
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:37.919
is often cited in Disney lore. Question four, who is
34
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.599
the Good Duck artist behind Duckburg and Uncle Scrooge? Answer
35
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.120
Carl Barks, working largely anonymously from the nineteen forties to
36
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.120
the nineteen sixties, Carl Barks wrote and drew influential Donald
37
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.879
Duck comics, creating Duckberg, Uncle Scrooge, the Beagle Boys, and more.
38
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.000
Fans later dubbed him the Good Duck Artist when they
39
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:01.520
discovered his identity. Question five in the band Concert nineteen
40
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.759
thirty five, what instrument does Donald use to heckel Mickey?
41
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:09.120
Answer a piccolo? Donald repeatedly interrupts the performance by piping
42
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.919
a jaunty tune on a piccolo, sparking chaotic gags. The short,
43
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.120
directed by Wilfrid Jackson, became a landmark of early color
44
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.280
animation and a showcase of Donald's feisty comic energy. That
45
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:24.840
concludes Today's five daily Trivia questions. I'm Mark Ellison, and
46
