Synopsis

Nothing succeeds like success, as the saying goes, but in the case of Donald Duck the opposite is true: the candor with which Donald reveals his weaknesses wins our hearts and stays with us forever.

Revisit Donald’s life’s work from nine decades in one of the most expansive illustrated publications on the Disney universe. Following Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse: The Ultimate History by TASCHEN, we witness the career of Mickey’s only rival for the throne as Disney’s most popular creation. From his debut in the Silly Symphony short film The Wise Little Hen on June 9, 1934, the authors trace Donald’s more than 170 cartoons, groundbreaking adventures in comics and TV, and theme park appearances. As a special treat to his fans, they also dive deep into the vaults to tell the story of his unfinished film projects.

With unprecedented access to Disney’s vast historical archives and collections as well as public and private collections, the authors illuminate Donald’s life story with rare concept art, story sketches, background paintings, animation, and comic drawings as well as historical photographs. We encounter the work of all major Donald artists in both film and comics who defined his character, including a vast tribute to the “Duck Man” himself, master storyteller Carl Barks, alongside unseen early storyboard drawings.

In the history of comics, Donald Duck is the most frequently printed figure outside the superhero genre, and has appeared on screen more often than any other Disney character. Since the 1950s, Duckburg has expanded into a truly global village, with American artists being joined by a new generation of international colleagues.

As Carl Barks once said of Donald: “He is everything, he is everybody; he makes the same mistakes that we all make.” He may often be unlucky, but this is precisely why everybody can relate to the world’s most famous and best loved Duck, fittingly celebrated with this monumental tribute.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Según el dicho, el éxito llama al éxito, pero en el caso del personaje de Disney sucede justo lo contrario: la franqueza con la que el Pato Donald revela sus debilidades se gana nuestros corazones para siempre.Revisamos nueve décadas de la vida de Donald en una de las publicaciones ilustradas sobre el universo Disney más extensas. Después de Mickey Mouse: The Ultimate History de TASCHEN, exploramos la carrera del único rival de Mickey al título de la creación más popular de Disney. Empezando por su debut el 9 de junio de 1934 en el cortometraje The Wise Little Hen, de la serie Silly Symphony, los autores documentan más de 170 historias de dibujos animados de Donald, aventuras en cómics y televisión y apariciones en parques temáticos. Como regalo especial para sus fans, también abordan sus proyectos cinematográficos inacabados.Con acceso excepcional y sin precedentes a los vastos archivos y colecciones históricos de Disney, así como a colecciones públicas y privadas, los autores arrojan luz sobre la vida de Donald con arte conceptual, bocetos de historietas, ilustraciones de fondo, animaciones, dibujos de cómics y fotografías históricas. Encontramos el trabajo de todos los principales artistas que han dado vida a Donald, tanto en cine como en cómic, y que han definido su personaje, incluido un extenso homenaje al mismísimo "hombre de los patos", el maestro Carl Barks, junto con guiones gráficos inéditos.En la historia de los cómics, el Pato Donald es la figura con más presencia en publicaciones impresas fuera del género de superhéroes. También ha aparecido en la pantalla con más frecuencia que cualquier otro personaje de Disney. Desde la década de 1950, Duckburg se ha expandido hasta convertirse en una auténtica aldea global, donde una nueva generación de artistas internacionales se ha sumado a los estadounidenses. Como dijo una vez Carl Barks sobre Donald: "Él es todo, él es todos; comete los mismos errores que todos cometemos". Puede que a menudo tenga mala suerte, pero justo por eso todo el mundo puede identificarse con el pato más famoso y querido del mundo, al que rendimos homenaje con este libro monumental.Copyright (c) 2024 Disney Enterprises, Inc.
