I think the Walt Disney Company has established a tradition among some of its voice actors. For iconic characters such as Donald Duck, the respective voice actors have to choose and train an heir who will continue to portray that character's distinctive voice and personality. For example, Clarence Nash, Donald's first voice actor, personally trained Tony Anselmo to speak in Donald's highly distinctive accent.

I was there for this parade in 1984! I've always remembered the song.

LightLife4 I use to ABSOLUTELY love this special growing up. My dad taped it years ago for my older brother. I was only a year old when it aired but we use to watch it constantly growing up. It made me love Disney so much and want to go to Walt Disney world so badly. Well, because of this special, years later I signed up for a college internship and lived and worked at Walt Disney world for a year. It was super neat. In the back break room behind adventure land, they had a huge picture from this parade. Seeing that picture, the circle was complete! I went on eBay and bought a “happy 50th birthday Donald” vintage tee shirt from the 80s to cap it off. Was a little pricey but I had to buy it because it was the only one I found that was in my size! (A vintage large is a medium in today’s fitting)

What a way to celebrate my birth. And believe me, I ended up as a Donald Duck fan.

I was four years old how do I have such vivid memories of this

I was there in 86 and I was 5 years old. My mom took pictures of the parade but she also took pictures of me as I sat on my dad's shoulders. You can run it like a flip book with my eyes as wide as saucers and mouth hanging open in pure blind amazement as I followed the parade.

I was just a kid when i saw this for the first time... it is really touching and it brings back such great memories... i all used to cry from 2:03 onwards...

35 years later and he’s still the best! Happy birthday ya’ quack!

Today is his 90th birthday, congratulations and happy birthday one of my favorite toon ducks 🦆🎂🎈🎉9️⃣0️⃣

Trevor Noah show made me search for this.

In many ways, Donald Duck is an ingenious character. He is good-natured and mostly genuinely friendly, but he is also brash, bad-tempered and sometimes mischievous. Of the original Disney cartoon cast, Donald was the one so-called "good" character with negative traits. In this way, he is used as a buffer to balance the purity of characters such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Goofy. With his complex personality, Donald Duck can be seen as the most "human" of the Disney cast.

That's interesting. I'm not as familiar with the older Disney cartoons, but I've heard that the original Mickey Mouse was a real scoundrel, although he became "nicer" and better-behaved as the years passed.

Happy 90th Birthday, Donald Duck!!! 2024

I was in a gift shop in the Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World on Saturday night and they were playing this song on the speakers in the store. I got all misty -eyed.

This was one reason why I say 1984 was a great year.

I remember my High School marching band marching at Walt Disney World for his 50th.

I just figured out that Joey Scarbury is the singer of the birthday song. Awesome!

I love Donald Duck. I remember watching this. Haven't seen it since I was a kid but still remember the words :)

Happy birthday Donald Duck we love you so much

Happy Birthday Donald Duck

I think I'll have to agree with Cayetanini - this made me cry happily too. Incidentally, this must be the earliest appearance I've seen of the park versions of Scrooge (in his red coat from the comics, no less!) and HD&L, and maybe also the only time they ever had Grandma Duck appear at the parks.

Blimey this brings back memories, I remember seeing this on a video recording in the early/mid 90's

Donald is the best

Thanks for posting this. I miss those early Disney days.

Interestingly, the Treasures line started to release Donald's classic cartoons in mid-2004, around the time that Donald had his 70th birthday! And one of the bonus features, about Clarence Nash, the original voice of Donald, mentioned a snippet of this special, specifically the part with Nash being at Grauman's Chinese Theater in 1984, when Donald put his hand- and web-prints in cement in front of the theater with other stars!

Gosh we all wish we could go to Disneyland and i could give Basil of Baker Street autograph ✍️ and wish Donald Duck happy birthday 🎊🎂🎁🎈🎉

Happy 85th, Donald!!

Beautiful! It's a shame that they didn't do anything this big when he turned 75 a while back.

I remember this. Wow, I can't believe it was that long ago. It almost seems like it was yesterday when I saw this.

This is pre pixar era of the Disney studio & Parks

I was there at that parade. Oh man, how weird to see it on a video!! Mind is blown. Thank you for this!

This song is so catchy.

Wishing you a very happy birthday, Donald Duck!!!

WOW!! I haven't seen this for many years. Now it's my birthday today!!! Yay!!!!

happy 50th birthday donald duck!

So far, Uncle Scrooge makes appearances during the holidays. Donald's nephews nowadays are seen in Disneyland Paris. Last time I saw the Big Bad Wolf and Robin Hood was in Share a Dream Come True Parade and Spectromagic.

If they have another big celebration for his 85th birthday, would characters such as Dipper and Mabel Pines, Star Butterfly, PIXAR characters, and post-Tangeled princesses join in?

Can Mickey Mouse get a parade like this on his 100th?

Just picture... if an intelligent alien species had been observing that area that day... Holy crap man, their brains probably violently imploded in utter confusion. XD

Good Song Too!

slwalsh when I worked there in 2007, I saw the nephews and Uncle Scrooge? I don’t know if they were out for a specific reason or whatnot? Maybe because they were releasing ducktales on dvd? I did see them though!
