Really, does anyone know Goofy's birthday? Not the one they celebrate in Disneyworld to make $, but the "real birthdate"? My Mom insists that his is the same as hers-November 25th.

Bah humbug....

All of Disney's critters get birthdays and everybody comes to the party but when Alfred E Newman had his a couple years ago an' I posted it like it fell off the board faster than a speeding bullet...

But, heck, happy b-day, you dumb duck...

The boys (Huey, Dewey & Louie) and the girls (April, May & June) were, in truth, the offspring of a sordid out-of-wedlock joining of Donald and Daisy. Because of the times, they had to claim they were an uncle and aunt, but the truth can now be revealed. They split up the kids in a sort of reverse Brady Bunch scenario.

Bobert, whatcha think of this theory?

Maybe the reason why people didn't respond to your Alfred E. Newman birthday thread was because they had him confused with a certain president whose initials are GWB.

Best birthday wishes to Dubya? Naw...

Who's the leader of the band that's made for you and me?

M-I-C (Donald Duck!) K-E-Y (Donald Duck!) M-O-U-S-E!

Mickey Mouse! (Donald Duck!) Mickey Mouse! (Donald Duck!)

Here's some more words to that Mickey Mouse Club song:

"forever let us hold our banner high high! high!"

?????

[and didn't they sing this at the end?]

"Now it's time to say goodnite
to all our family
M-I-C
K-E-Y
Why? because we love you.
M-O-U-S-E."

-snip-

I have very fond remembrances of this song. And I liked Donald Duck for sticking up for himself. Why should Mickey always have the center stage?

And though it's kinda off topic I want to say how much I liked the entire original Mickey Mouse Club program. My favorite day was Adventure Day [wasn't that a Thursday?]. Here are the only words to that day's songs that I can recall:

"This is the day that is filled with excitement-
nobody knows what's going to happen...."

-snip-

Adventure Day is alot like life.

Positive vibrations,

LOL!! RangerSteve, thank you!

How could I forget "See you real soon?"!

I recited those words along with those Musketeers, so you would have thought that I would have remembered them. But then again, that was eons ago.

And btw I liked Annette too. Actually I can't remember any other Mousecatters by names. Can anybody else?

And I regret to say that I never owned a Mousecatter hat. Oh how I yearned for one of those hats!

Alfred E. Neuman was very cool, and he looked a lot like Alfalfa from The Little Rascals too.

Note that all relations between the figures in the Duck and Mouse families are non-sexual; there are no parents, only uncles and aunts. A single grandma is far off from usability in bed. The girlfriends Daisy and Minnie? No love words are told. Just the right stuff for little boy scaiuts.
But up in my attic, deep in a drawer, I still keep a drawing of the entire Disney population celebrating an orgy (about 1965) - so dirty that it's funny again (including a gang bang of Cinderella with the dwarfs).

You know it is really sad that more attention was not given Donald Duck, he was like so many partners of the silver screen that never got the attention or the roles they so richly deserved. They were always the second banana - sorta like how William Abbott treated Louis Costello (Abbott & Costello) or how Dean Martin treated Joseph Levitch (ok - Martin & Lewis). Some of our most famous and infamous duos in motion picture or real-life scenios one always was the fall person. Why can't we treat them as equal, aren't they just as worthy as their partners which made themselves and them look good. Crosby was never considered a dramatic actor until he received good reviews for "The Country Girl" did you ever see Jerry Lewis or Lou Costello in a motion picture that stood out and make people gasp and say "Wow what a performance." Most people do not remember Rod Steiger, he made a lot movies as a heavy, a person you would like, but who could forget his performance in "OKLAHOMA" as Jud Fry or how about the secret agent that bedded many of a young maidens, but one of his earliest movies - he not only danced, but sang in "Darby O'Gill and the Little People." Come on folks, give Donald Duck some credit, he had to go against a mouse was called "Steamboat Willie." Are you a man or a mouse, that mouse not only got the chesse, but good roles where Donald was subjected to lesser roles - he never got the role (s) of a lifetime, he could have been a contender, but alas no one ever that of him as a serious actor. Shame on you for not making him part of your favorite star - does he have a star on the walk, for that matter does any "Fowl" of the motion picture business have their own star - I bet Mickey Mouse/Bugs Bunny does - We love you Donald, I was disappointed that Walt Disney or others in the business did not give you the credit that you so richly deserve. A protest to stop viewing all motion pictures associated with Walt Disney Productions until they give you, DONALD DUCK the credit that he so RICHLY DESERVES.

Donald does have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame though...

Donald first appeared in the Silly Symphonies cartoon "The Wise Little Hen" on June 9, 1934. He is the son of Hortense McDuck and Quackmore Duck, brother to Della Thelma Duck, and uncle to three identical triplet nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie.
