Donald Duck Presents is an American animated television series that aired onThe Disney Channel beginning in 1983 and which featuredDisney animated shorts.[1] AlthoughDonald Duck shorts were the primary programming, additional cartoons featuringGoofy,Mickey Mouse,Chip 'n Dale,Pluto, as well asSilly Symphonies, Disneyfeaturettes, and other Disney-based shorts were shown. The show was first aired on September 1, 1983, a few months after The Disney Channel was launched. Its timeslot for its early run was at 8 a.m. Eastern/Pacific Time, making it the third program of The Disney Channel's 16 (later 18) hour programming day.
Brief clips andsegues featuring Donald Duck typically were placed between each short. The shorts often were edited down, removing the opening and closing credits, and in some cases, edited for length.
The opening of the show featured a cavalcade of scenes from Disney shorts, and a theme song. Unlike the opening ofGood Morning, Mickey!, which features all of the characters in the theme, the opening of Donald Duck Presents features only Donald (andhis nephews).
The show was replaced byDonald's Quack Attack in 1992.[2][3]
This show was released only on VHS PAL in the UK as part of a six-volume set which also each featured an episode ofGood Morning, Mickey!,Welcome to Pooh Corner,The Mouse Factory andMousercise. Unlike the stateside version ofDonald Duck Presents, however, there were no cartoon shorts released; that position was filled byGood Morning, Mickey!. Instead, it contained different Disney featurettes.
