Donald's son, possibly named Donald Jr., is an anthropomorphic duckling who is the toddler son of Donald and Daisy Duck. He appeared in the 1959 cartoon short How to Have an Accident at Work, where his father wants him to help make the household safer and less hazardous.
Background[]
Personality[]
Donald's son is innocent, sweet and naive. Unlike his cousins who give Donald a hard time, Junior is very loyal to his father and clearly looks up to him. In his brief appearance, he is shown to somewhat be afraid of Donald's famous temper tantrums, but he learns from them and even seems to slightly exhibit early signs of Donald's annoyed expressions. Regardless, he has a good relationship with his father, whom he loves dearly, as well as his mother Daisy.
Physical appearance[]
Donald's son looks like a tiny carbon copy of Donald, and even wears a blue jumper all the time. While he can stand on his own, he still sits in a high chair at the breakfast table. From this, it can be deduced that he is slightly younger than his more famous cousins.
Trivia[]
- Unlike his father Donald or his cousins Huey, Dewey and Louie, he speaks with a normal voice as opposed to their characteristic "duck voices", which is the only apparent trait he inherited from his mother Daisy.
- Ironically, his mother originally had a "duck voice" like Donald, Huey, Dewey and Louie in her debut cartoon "Mr. Duck Steps Out".
- For unknown reasons, he, much like Daisy's parents, is absent from subsequent modern animated media depicting the Duck family together such as Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas and it's sequel Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas, DuckTales (both 1987 and 2017) and Paul Rudish's Mickey Mouse reboot.
