This is one of the few times where the topic of "Disney" & "Remaster" being put together makes me feel excited!

[@yeseniaadames4389]

What about epic Mickey rebrushed (which is a remaster)

[@ElyseExplosion]

We visited the parks in January, my husband's first trip since 1989. One of the big things he wanted to do was meet Donald, and we got the opportunity at Tusker House. When I mentioned that my husband had been waiting to meet him for 30+ years, Donald tapped his watch and stamped his foot. I laughed so hard. Best costume character, full stop 😂

[@tuckerduke2662]

I said to Donald Duck that I wanted to see him for 28+ years, except he was more shocked than angry.

[@shinyagumon7015]

The Ice-Capades costumes were *articulated* ? Wow, that's so impressive, especially when you keep in mind the technology at the time and the budget they had to work with. Honestly I would love seeing you dive deeper into this topic. Also I'm down to see the weird history behind College Mascot Donald #DonaldDuckthrowsdown

[@tuckerduke2662]

You're right, Disney Dan. Donald Duck is a lot of fun. In fact, the very first time I met Donald Duck during the Christmas season, he saw my Goofy t-shirt and grabbed and pulled it out of anger. That was the sign that my Disney trip was not going to be ordinary at all. It was going to be amazing, which it was. I caught my whole first interaction with the duck on video.

[@BowtiesRcoool]

LOL same! You literally described my meet n greet two weeks ago lol I had a goofy shirt and I had just finished taking a pic with goofy then moved on to Donald and he was upset and turned his back lol loved it

[@xavierandresmendoza2426]

Seeing Herbie twice in this video makes me feel like we need a Herbie Disney Parks Evolution. I feel Herbie would be interesting since even in the same park, and in the same year they had two Herbie designs wandering around at the same time.

[@meganhash7840]

One of my favorite Disney memories of all times was when I was with my grandparents at a character dining restaurant (I'm 99.9% sure it was Hollywood and vine) and Donald pointed to my grandfather's Korean War vet hat and clapped, thanking him for his service. I just thought it was so sweet and the fact Donald duck canonically is a vet too made it even cooler

[@tuckerduke2662]

They may have served in two different wars, but one thing is for certain: soldiers are pretty much brothers or sisters in arms. I thank your grandfather for his service. 😊🫡🇺🇸

[@broadway331]

I’ve never had a disappointing interaction with Donald. Always 10/10. I’m not sure what’s funnier: his narcissism when you’re wearing Donald merch or his anger when you’re wearing Mickey merch.

[@tuckerduke2662]

I made a video of my very first encounter with Donald Duck. He got mad at my Goofy shirt as if it were a Mickey shirt and grabbed, twisted, and pulled it in a hilarious temper tantrum. Donald Duck made sure that my vacation trip there was more memorable and greater than any other previous theme park I went to.

[@nodesire9291]

The early Donalds are haunting. My grandpa could do a Donald voice. I miss him. Candycorn Donald is one of the BEST Donalds

As a kid the character costumes always fascinated me and it’s very hard to find information on them. It’s really because of the magic that Disney doesn’t give out much info I get it. I’ve gotten information only from people who have worked as Characters till your videos. Thanks DisneyDan.

[@hayleywaalen2612]

Oh Donald, You're always getting mad.

[@katherinealvarez9216]

I still think that his garble is all cuss words

[@johnfeliciano585]

Too much anger in him

[@BasementMermaid]

Ok I would adore the Oregon ducks video! Great remaster of the video, Donald is my favorite character to meet in the parks❤

[@djtonygaming]

I have a soft spot for the cartoony Donald Duck costume, they always used promo pics with that costumes whenever they did adverts for Disneyland Paris in the swedish Donald Duck comic books.

[@gftyhify]

At 10:06 that’s what Donald looked like the first time I went to Disneyland in 1991. I was 4 years old and I didn’t enjoyed it at all I was terrified of the costumed characters. Although I didn’t meet Donald to me those huge pupils are straight up uncanny valley territory and would defiantly have terrified me

[@oswaldtheluckyrabbitsuppor5929]

The newest Donald Mascot costume is so adorable and a perfect recreation of Donald!💙 Oswald may be my favourite but I love Donald too! I wish I could meet them in a Disney park someday!

[@ashcashgamer5770]

Thank you Dan for your history on mascot costumes. :)

[@726berkshire]

Fantastic remaster of one of your classic evolution videos. ^^ Didn’t know articulated Donald had his own Meet and Greet. Mickey usually takes most of the spotlight. #DonaldDuckThrowsDown

[@AlolaMasked_BettyRubbleFan]

7:31 Oh, God… Herbie, What happened to you??

[@toysvilltvstudios2.072]

Dan should do a Herbie Evolution. :)

[@Alberto_Tellez]

My big fave is still the 2002 Modern Donald used today. Thanks for the remake Dan.

[@tuckerduke2662]

Same here. The 2002 outfit looks exactly like him.

[@Alberto_Tellez]

@@tuckerduke2662, no doubt about it.

[@theanimatortwothousandten]

Can you do a Bugs Bunny costume evolution?

[@CinophileRailroad1993]

Disney Dan On A Weekday? What The Duck?! 😂❤ 🦆

[@lateramae]

Great, now Howard the Duck is going to be stuck in my brain for all of eternity. Thanks Dan.

[@user-ek5cl7vd5q]

I'm so happy you remade this video. Donald is my favorite character and I love seeing all his versions. I need his cruise outfit for myself. Haha.

[@NathanSpies]

Donald Duck: Aka the one character that many have trouble doing an impression of.

[@Ortensia.]

My brother can do an impression of Donald duck

[@Lily_5forever]

Dan never disappoints us 😊❤

[@BrotherofAriel]

I’m so excited for you to see live action Ariel she beautiful and so sweet ❤🧜🏾‍♂️. Thanks for the amazing content 🎆🎇🎆🎇

[@averyeml]

None of those ice capades costumes truly came out unscathed but Donald feels like he’s been the least messed up since the beginning.

[@DuchessRococoPuff]

So cool to see the old archival footage of the parks and the ice-capades! Thank you as always for putting so much work and research into these videos.

[@sschweg08]

Your laugh is so infectious!!

[@NarjaraSMagalhaes]

im obsessed by these opening costumes from 1955

[@meetscottyb]

Love the vids! Former character cast member here. I was actually used to design the Buzz Lightyear costume and was the first Buzz so I’m basically a LIVING LEGEND! But this brings back SO many memories!

[@DuddleBug5]

Cool!

[@garrettdarkstar2647]

That's awesome! I'm curious, was the 1995 Toy used in any influence to the costume?

[@arrowpirate9011]

Time really flies. I remember watching you back when you were opening the Disney Crossy Road toys and then evolution of characters in the park. I'll always be happy to watch your videos for many more years to come.

[@GregoryAmicar57]

7:30 HERBIE! Make evolution of Herbie in disney parks next!

[@turkeydinnerchewie2499]

I am anxiously awaiting more Horace Horsecollar content from your channel🐴

[@Ireton06]

Excellent update didn’t expect the vintage ice skate footage, really neat to see

[@lollybirdy]

Donald is my favorite ngl 😂

[@sjmhadsock4586]

Finland definitely loves Donald Duck

[@brianszabo3870]

Cool!!! Speaking of Donald Duck, any thoughts on bringing back the Duck Family that made appearances throughout Donald’s 50th in 1984? Not to mention bringing other Disney Duck Family members to the parks, especially at Disneyland’s new Toontown.

[@ratbones620]

Donald is one of my favorite characters along with Goofy. It’s always so fun seeing him in the parks!

[@tuckerduke2662]

He certainly is, especially when he physically interacts with you (i.e. pulling your shirt out of hilarious anger).

[@DaffyTaffy93]

Last September I was looking all over for Donald Duck for a photo with him at Disney world I swear he was dodging me 😅 Finally got one with him on a Disney cruise months later life achievement fulfilled 😂

[@brycevo]

Gotta love the courageous duck

[@Bigthundrinmonutin]

Talking Mickey was weird, talking Donald was the holiest thing blessed on this Disneyland

[@BenChurchill76]

Donald is my favorite character! I never did like the "Toontown" Donald...he just never quite looked like himself. The current version is the absolute refinement of all of the previous though. I've had several great interactions with Donald in the parks over the years, from playing hide-and-seek on Main Street, to learning to tell him "You're my favorite" in Japanese while at Tokyo Disneyland. His reaction to that was very funny and memorable for me.

[@dumartist]

Donald has always been my favorite! We love the duck! 💙🩵

[@miabrimm8465]

Can you upload the evolution of Jiminy Cricket costumes in Disneyland & more? Yes or no?

[@sketchnotes2246]

As a kid growing up in Oregon, I always wondered why Donald was on all of the U of O merch! Would love to hear that story! #DonaldDuckThrowsDOWN

[@bloodblues85]

I want examples of ALL the different outfits they put him in. C'mon, you're Disney Dan. I expect more.

[@mav_toons9694]

is it wierd that at 12:10 i smelled him, like the smell of the costume from every character that you meet

on a completely different note, the hotel that the Oregon duck is advertising for (the graduate) is a great hotel chain and I can't recommend them enough

Man, I need a Pluto video!

[@Dogman2605]

Donald is a macho duck!

[@kristindemaria2327]

You need to be a sassy performer to be friends with Donald! We were in animal kingdom and my kids (3 and 5 at the time) walked up to Donald , huge smile and autograph books out he slapped them out of their hands and brought them in for a huge hug and it was hysterical! We got a really good pics with him. Then daisy stole my husband and walked down to show him off to Uncle Scrooge lol

[@tuckerduke2662]

That sounds so fun. I wish that happened to me in my youth.

[@sjmhadsock4586]

But another great Disney Dan video

I would like to see more nintendo meet and greets,we're yet to see Bowser

This is a good time to post this. Because Donald is turning 89 soon.

[@ElricSowrd]

I remember the eye thing. Especially with the Daisy head.

[@ghosttoastmew]

Recently my friend and I went to Magic Kingdom and Epcot and I had my small plushie of Donald with me and when he saw it his interactions with it were the cutest thing ever! I got to take lots of amazing polaroids of it and I will cherish the moment always!

[@mariafox9226]

Happy Birthday Donald!

[@maxordman4100]

Wow what a wonderful history of Donald Duck! Your coverage of Donald’s different costumes is fantastic! Donald Duck is such a special character in my heart. I love his adorable feathers and his cute little sailor suit too! The powdered blue eyes from the 80s costume actually look okay to me but the new eyes are great too. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Please do the Oregon University Duck history too! @#Donaldduckthrowsdown!

[@Emthe30something]

10:32 i literally said "oh no" out loud. No no 1990's, no no

[@zestyrats7913]

Whe I went to Disney world with my fam back in 2019, we went to animal kingdom and did one of the buffets around the switch between breakfast and lunch. Donald ended up walking around at somepoint and came up to our table in which after a bit I think I went to reach for my drink but ended up knocking it over, but it was okay cause Donald took the fault for it :’) He made a little scene out of cleaning it up it was really funny

[@bt4416]

Day 2 of me asking for a Launchpad Mcquack costume evolution

[@NintegaDario]

Regarding the ending, it's more or so you focus more on an air pocket in your left cheek, I don't know about laying your tongue on the roof of your mouth, it basically happens on it's own when doing the voice. I can do the impression and say some sentences.

[@jamarthedancingdemon3961]

COOL

[@Grace-ir8er]

I'm in the same boat when it comes to doing a Donald voice - I can kind of pull it off, but my grandfather's Donald impression was LEGENDARY, and he didn't even have to do anything special like the tongue thing or the air pocket in the cheeks some people have mentioned in the comments. He was able to do tons of cool little things like that.

It cracks me up so much that Walt Disney, the man who thought of everything, who redesigned the modern trash can for opening day, forgot he'd need costumed characters for opening day 🤣.
