Donald Duck on ‘Hot Ones’

An animated duck character strains to cool off by pulling on his shirt collar, seated at a table with several bottles of hot sauce and chicken wings, against a dark background.

Donald joins host Sean Evans for an interview as he eats cauliflower “wings” (instead of chicken wings) with progressively spicier Disney-themed sauces. The episode is part of an ongoing celebration of Donald’s 90th birthday. Mickey Mouse also makes an appearance, mostly because Donald “needed him to drive.”

Donald Duck is an icon of the American cinema, with countless film and television appearances to his name, and a distinctive delivery that makes every appearance unique and unforgettable. Now, he’s celebrating a major birthday milestone—90 years of wise-quacking—with a historic appearance on Hot Ones. But how is he with spicy food? Find out as Donald takes on a gauntlet of spicy cauliflower nuggets and discusses Disney lore, his unfiltered thoughts on impersonators, and much more.

See Donald discuss his birthday, his acting career starting with “The Wise Little Hen” (1934), his middle name, his friends, and more in the episode below.

“Mickey Mouse and his friends, including Donald Duck, have always been a part of popular culture, so it only made sense that Donald and Mickey appear on one of the most recognized internet shows with celebrity guests,” said Tim Pennoyer, director of Brand Marketing, The Walt Disney Company.

Animation for Donald on this episode of “Hot Ones” was done by the Walt Disney Animation Studios team led by animator Eric Goldberg. Disney Legend Tony Anselmo voiced Donald, as usual, alongside Bret Iwan as Mickey Mouse.

“It’s been a great honor to direct two of our greatest stars, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse, on this special episode of ‘Hot Ones.’ Of course, Donald can get a bit cranky at times, but all of the artists involved loved animating him!” said Goldberg. “It was a blast working with Sean Evans and the ‘Hot Ones’ team, and the voices of Donald, Tony Anselmo, and Mickey, Bret Iwan.”

Donald’s 90th birthday has also been honored with exclusive merchandise like a Dooney & Bourke collection and a Disney Munchlings popcorn bucket and plush. Merch is available at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and on DisneyStore.com.
