Editing Daisy Duck (section)

==Donna Duck<!--'Donna Duck' redirects here-->==
'''Donna Duck'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> made her sole animated appearance in the short film ''[[Don Donald]]'' (1937), directed by [[Ben Sharpsteen]]. It was the first installment of the ''Donald Duck'' film series and was also the first time Donald was shown with a love interest. In the story, Donald travels to Mexico to court a duck who is largely a female version of himself. She is portrayed with the same feisty temperament and as such was also voiced by Clarence Nash. At the end of the story, she spitefully abandons Donald in the desert after his car breaks down.

While Donna was not reused in film after her only appearance, she became an inspiration for the creation of Daisy. Donna appeared in early British [[Disney comics]] and was introduced in the American [[Donald Duck (comic strip)|comic strip]] in 1951, as Daisy's unwitting rival for Donald's affections.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://coa.inducks.org/character.php?c=Donna+Duck+from+1951|title=Donna Duck – I.N.D.U.C.K.S.|website=Coa.inducks.org|access-date=January 7, 2018}}</ref>

Other Disney characters, such as [[Goofy]], were introduced under various names (Dippy Dawg) and appearances, leading some historians to conclude that Donna and Daisy are the same character. However, in these other instances, changes usually developed over time, during which the character remained in use. Donna, on the other hand, appeared only once, and it was a few years before a new female love interest for Donald was designed. There were many significant differences between the two characters all-at-once, in personality, nationality, name and attire.
