Donald Duck turns 70!
Donald was first seen on 9 June 1934 in an animated cartoon called the Wise Little Hen. The famous duck has gone on to feature in hundreds of cartoons and comic strips, which have been translated into dozens of languages.
In Disneyland Paris, a cake with 70 candles will be presented to Donald during a birthday party. He will also leave prints of his webbed feet in a walk of fame, next to handprints by stars such as Bruce Willis and Sharon Stone.

'He has his grumpy periods, he has his mad periods, he's always trying to do the right thing but ends up in a mess. But I think that his character traits will never change and I don't think he will ever, ever grow old--he will stay young at heart.'
