Donald Duck is a friend of Mickey Mouse, and is most known for his short temper and sometimes unintelligible speech. He first appeared in the 1930s through various comic strips. His love interest, Daisy, and his three nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie, were introduced in the late 1930s. In 1947 the Gund Manufacturing Company began a long-lasting partnership with Walt Disney Productions, creating plush figures of popular characters like Mickey Mouse and Minnie, Donald Duck, Daisy, and Donald?s three nephews, Snow White, Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp, Mary Poppins, Winnie the Pooh, and others. These days, Gund offers soft toys of more recent Disney movies like "The Aristocats," "Monsters, Inc.," and "Cars."
