The success of Donald Duck came at a most opportune time. While Mickey was still popular, he had evolved into a more gentle, easy-going character. Consequently, Disney was finding it more and more difficult to come up with ideas that would be comedically fruitful. With Donald, the possibilities seemed endless.Throughout his career, Donald's voice was provided by Clarence "Ducky" Nash, and a lot of his humor came from the fact that you could never really understand what he was saying; even more so when he flew into one of his fits of rage. While Donald may have gotten angry at his various tormentors through the years, he was rarely malicious. His jokes, or his attempts at revenge, always had a way of backfiring on him.
