"Who's got the sweetest disposition?
One guess, that's who.
Who never never starts an argument?
(Hmm?)
Who never shows a bit of temperment?
Who's never wrong but always right?
(Yeah?)
Who would never dream of starting a fight?
(That's who?)
Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?
(AWAWAWAWAWAWA!!!)
No one but Donald Duck!
(YEAH!)"

When I was younger my Dad got us a VHS of Donald Duck cartoons. My little sister and I would watch them all the time, Dad included. These next two cartoon shorts were on this VHS tape and I remember them to this day. I STILL quote some of the lines, not out loud though.

***BONUS CARTOON***
I had to post this next clip specifically because back in 2000, I got to meet the director Francis Glebas. I was in Orlando, FL at The Disney Institute for their Animation Celebration. Here I got to meet directors, artists and animators from several of the great Disney films. The theme for that year was the just released "Fantasia 2000." I was part of a group of about ten fellow animators and together we put together a ten second piece of animation set to music. More on that later. But what I was getting at was that Francis was there with us checking out our work and giving us tips and pointers, EVERY DAY! I even got him to autograph a lithograph for me. (pic coming soon.) It was one of the best vacations I have ever had, followed closely by the same Animation Celebration trips I took in 1999 and 2001.
So sit back and enjoy Donald Duck in "Pomp and Circumstance"
