Walt Disney's Famous Ducks
Daisy Duck
Daisy Duck is one of Walt Disney's cartoon and comic book
characters. She was created as a female counterpart to Donald
Duck. Daisy first appeared in the cartoon "Mr. Duck Steps Out" on
June 7, 1940.
She is a descendant of Pintail Duck. She was born on 1920. She is
Donald's distant cousin. She replaced Donna Duck, possibly her
older sister, as Donald's girlfriend since 1940 though she
occasionally dates their common cousin Gladstone Gander. She has
Donald's temper but is a bit more sophisticated. One of her
brothers is the father of Huey Duck, Dewey Duck, and Louie Duck.
A sister of hers is the mother of the triplets April, May, and
June Duck who serve as Huey, Dewey, and Louie's female
counterparts.
Scrooge McDuck
Scrooge McDuck is a comic book and cartoon fictional character,
created by artist Carl Barks for The Walt Disney Company.
Scrooge McDuck first appeared in the story "Christmas on Bear
Mountain" in December, 1947. He was also cast as the star of the
Disney animated series DuckTales, which first aired on September
11, 1987 and produced several spin-off cartoon series.
Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck
Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck are fictional characters of the
Scrooge McDuck universe, Donald Duck's three almost identical
nephews. They were created by Ted Osborne and Al Taliaferro and
first appeared in a newspaper comic strip on October 17, 1937.
Their first on-screen appearance was in Donald's Nephews,
released April 15, 1938.
They are the sons of Donald's sister Della Thelma Duck, nicknamed
"Dumbella" and one of Daisy Duck's brothers. They are sent to
Donald temporarily until their father comes back from the
hospital where he ended after their last practical joke of
putting fire-crackers under his chair. Their parents were never
heard of again and Donald had adopted them by 1942. They
accompany their uncle Donald and their grand-uncle Scrooge McDuck
in most of their adventures. They are generals of the world-wide
scout organization The Junior Woodchucks.
According to Don Rosa, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck were born in
1940 in Duckburg, Calisota.
The TV series Quack Pack added to the three their full names:
Huey's full name is Huebert Duck.
Dewey's full name is Deuteronomy Duck.
Louie's full name is Louis Duck.
But according to interviews by Taliaferro they were originally
named after two political figures and an animator of the time:
Huey was named after Huey Pierce Long of Louisiana.
Dewey was named after Thomas Edmund Dewey of New York.
Louie was named after animator Louie Schmitt.
