What is the name of Donald Duck's first cartoon, released in 1934?

Donald Duck’s first cartoon was the 1934 short The Wise Little Hen.

The film was produced by Walt Disney Productions and released on June 9, 1934, as part of the Silly Symphonies series. Donald appears as a lazy duck who pretends to have a stomachache so he will not help the hen plant and harvest corn. His distinctive voice was supplied by Clarence Nash.

The Wise Little Hen was adapted from a story in the children’s book The Little Red Hen. Donald was not yet the fully developed character audiences would later recognize: he had a less familiar appearance, a somewhat different personality, and no sailor suit in the exact form associated with his later cartoons.

Donald’s popularity quickly expanded. His next major appearances helped establish his short temper, comic frustration, and recognizable speech, making him one of Disney’s most important stars alongside Mickey Mouse.
