Donald's Quack Attack is an American animated television series which ran on The Disney Channel and was later rerun on Toon Disney. It premiered on November 2, 1992,[1] along with Mickey's Mouse Tracks,[2] on The Disney Channel. It featured Disney animated short films, especially those with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. Each episode lasted about 22–28 minutes, leaving some time for commercials.
A similar Mickey Mouse version was called Mickey's Mouse Tracks, however, unlike Mouse Tracks, Quack Attack was run with a manic energy. In between the cartoon shorts, a screen would appear with a random background color (pink, blue, green, etc.) With a clip in the corner from a random Donald Duck cartoon. There was a thermometer called the "Quack Attack Meter" with Donald's head on the bottom. When the clip showed Donald getting angry, injured, or humiliated, the head on the thermometer would go up and make a dinging sound.[3] This 10-25 second clip would appear 2 to 4 times per show, depending on how long the shorts were. The credits for the show did not name anyone. Instead, it stated, "The cartoons in this program are the work of the animators from THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY over the past 60 years."
When the show premiered in 1992, it was meant to replace Donald Duck Presents. It was not possible to know what episode was going to be shown on any given day, but the show did feature showings of some shorts that do not show up on The Ink and Paint Club along with some shorts made by the Fleischer brothers, and clips from the animated features, such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, and Lady and the Tramp. Donald's Quack Attack aired on The Disney Channel from 1992 to 2000, and on Toon Disney from 1998 to December 2002. From April 2001 to December 2002, Quack Attack usually aired weekdays at 5 a.m., and every night at midnight.[4] When Quack Attack aired on Toon Disney, there were short commercial breaks in between each cartoon, unlike the airings on The Disney Channel. On some episodes, the first cartoon was cut from the episode to make room for commercial breaks.
