When I saw today was National Donald Duck day, it reminded me just how much an impact Disney has had. It's like we are all used to seeing Disney Characters everywhere and there are so many of them now. 

In my opinion, Donald Duck is underrated. So, I was surprised to see a national day for him. It got me thinking, which Disney Character do you think is the most underrated?

    I do feel Donald is often overlooked among the core characters like Mickey, Minnie and Goofy. Goofy was always a favourite, and Tigger too. 

    I wonder how people celebrate it, do you think they do any thing in the parks? :)

    There may be some posts on social media a little later, thinking because of the time difference with America. I also think when it comes to the core characters, Donald is overlooked. 

    I always find characters from the 70's and 80's are overlooked. Like Bernard and Bianca from The Rescuers.

    @Hannah_Scope, I like Pluto, never speaks, but it's all in the expressions. Sticking with dogs, Goofy too!

    Figaro, the cat from Pinocchio is the same, with all the facial expressions. It's interesting hearing Goofy be underrated for some as I never saw him as underrated as he had his own movies.

    It tends to be the big four & the various princesses nowadays. Mind you, there are so many characters now, oldies but goodies are lost & almost forgotten.

    When at a pub quiz once, we had a Disney round, to which my friend just gave me the pen and paper 😂 

    A lot of the questions surrounded the oldies of Disney and I was shocked to find that no one had heard of The Black Cauldron, it's one of my favourites! Gurgi is definitely an underrated character.
