Greetings to all my readers.
I think some Wikipedia pages should be integrated, at the beginning, with the words: Attention , surprising revelations!
It 's the feeling that I had a few days ago when, in fact through Wikipedia, I was going for pure hobby, to do research on the world of the Disney ducks.
An experiment you can try to do it too: just type "Donald Wikipedia" on Google, and then, thanks to wired links, reach the pages of the various characters involved. You will do so
a series of shocking discoveries, and today I want you back, in a list (with comments) what impressed me most:
1) Here Quo Here are the sons of Donald's twin sister, Della Duck .
So Peperino has a twin sister?
Who knew?
I remember an old cartoon I saw, in which Donald Duck received a letter from a duck in the charge that the three pests Quo Qua here, but I had noticed that she was his twin sister, perhaps because she, in her first appearance, was presented as the cousin of Donald Duck.
2) Uncle Scrooge is the brother of Hydrangea 'de Scrooge, who is none other than ... the mother of Donald Duck!
has finally explained the relationship between Donald and the rich tion. they always say that Scrooge is Donald's uncle, but no one ever asks why.
3) The husband of Hortense 'de Scrooge, and father of Donald, the Duck Quackmore , is the son of Grandma Duck.
A revelation perhaps obvious, but curious to know, especially because it seems that, because of their choleric characters, Hortense and Quackmore were made one for another, and could not feel that together, and even this must be the typical irritability of the child.
4) Grandma Duck also had a husband, appeared in very few occasions, his name is Humperdink duck.
I do not think that they serve other comments, but perhaps her husband's Grandma Duck is easier to remember, since it appears in many stories in flashback, and is also known as Grandma Duck .
5) The vast fortune of Gaston, the result of a symbol of good luck painting by a painter, the birthday of his mother.
It seems, moreover, that Gaston child, his birthday, while playing with Donald, was struck by lightning since then, every time you birthday, so once a year, Gaston suddenly ... unlucky!
Initially, then, to explain the relationship of Gaston with the 'de Scrooge, it was imagined that the lucky duck, after the death (for indigestion) real of his parents, had been adopted by Matilda, the sister of Uncle Scrooge.
6) Initially Ciccio, a cousin of Donald Duck, had to have the features of a brilliant inventor, but it soon became incurable glutton we know, and the identity of the inventor was attributed to Archimedes Pythagorean.
Moreover, it seems that Ciccio, despite living permanently with Grandma Duck, his nephew is not direct, as Casey Coot, the grandfather of Ciccio, is the brother of Grandma Duck, which makes Ciccio a great-grandson of the latter, and a second cousin of Donald Duck.
The information I have reported from Wikipedia is based on a Duck Family Tree Don Rosa, American Disney comics (but of Italian descent), created in 1993, based on Carl Barks notes that over the years '50, had already made, privately, a similar work. However
Don Rosa's family tree is more complete, because thanks to a series of letters exchanged by Carl Barks himself, the author was able to resolve several inconsistencies which limited the old notes.
So, summing up, we can conclude that the Disney family of ducks is remarkably complex, partly because the Disney literature (taking into account now, only the comics) is endless, and we must also consider the many characters in the most recent creation, which often, perhaps, are only a guest appearance in a story, and nothing more.
Yet there, too.
How, moreover, there are also characters that I mentioned in the list above, and bizarre characters with long names, which is hard to keep in memory, and only appeared in the early days, when there was still the desire of better define certain relationships.
But then things changed: the focus has shifted only a few characters, like Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, Gladstone ... as we all know, because history has made them more famous.
Thus, the older guys, older relatives of the extended family of ducks, have been lost, and now, today, their recovery is nothing more than a pastime, a game for a few passengers, fussy and demanding, enthusiasts.
Why, after all, there are very little chance that one of those old characters, like Donald's father, or mother of Gaston lucky, to be dusted off in the stories of today. This
, however, by preventing new ones created.
And from just 10 years, the family of ducks Disney could find certain personalities that we would never expect.
Because even at Disney, like so many other things in life, we can only focus on the future and move forward in your path.
Even if, despite everything, there will always be those who, like me, is no longer interested in these modern productions, and will continue to look for, in his short visit to the newsstand, those publications which reproduce the glorious historical past and the ducks, to savor the 'inexhaustible fascination.
