'Old MacDonald Duck' is an animated cartoon by Walt Disney Productions from 1941, featuring Donald Duck.

Plot



Donald Duck works as a farmer on a farm. He is disturbed by a fly when he tries to milk his cow Clementine.

Voice cast



* Donald Duck: Clarence Nash

Music



The cartoon takes its title from the children's song "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" that Donald sings while feeding his animals. Later on, while milking Clementine, Donald sings also the American folk ballad "Oh My Darling, Clementine".

In addition, "Turkey in the Straw" is used as background music, as in 'Steamboat Willie' and 'The Band Concert'.
