A brand new Donald Duck animation came as a pleasant surprise to all traditional animation fans out there. A live-action mix 2d animated Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse on a popular Youtube channel. Host Sean Evans asks different celebrities guests questions while they attempt to eat spicy chicken wings coated in his own brand of spicy hot sauces. In this episode however, instead of chicken wings, Donald Duck had cauliflower wings so he wouldn’t be eating his chicken cousins.

This Youtube video had a little controversy with not giving artists any credit. After numerous complaints, Hot Ones has included both Animator and Producer credits into their episode featuring Donald Duck into the Youtube Description. Found below:

From Hot Ones Episode: 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.

Lavalle Lee

Lavalle Lee has been creating animated cartoons online since 1999/2000 for his website flashcartoons.org. Many cartoons on the site have gained viral video status reaching millions of viewers online. In 2009, Lavalle started learning hand drawn animation from Don Bluth in his animation classes, as well as attending his Masterclasses in Arizona. He has also personally studied animation and visual effects from Veteran Disney animators in Orlando, FL.

Lavalle is widely known in the animation industry as the creator of the TraditionalAnimation.com website. After seeing that most animation sites were about all types of animation, not any specific to classical hand drawn animation, Lavalle knew Traditional Animation needed to be represented online. TraditionalAnimation.com has become the leading website and social media account for all things 2D. The website served as inspiration for “The Traditional Animation Show” in which Lavalle was both producer and host.

His partnership with Don Bluth began when he championed the Dragon's Lair Indiegogo campaign as lead project manager, editor, voice actor and in-betweener. The campaign reached $730,000 dollars to produce a 7-minute pitch video. In 2017, Lavalle brought the idea of creating a school to Don Bluth, and Don Bluth University was born. After a decade of learning from Don Bluth and working together on multiple pitches and business ventures, Lavalle accepted the position as Vice President of Don Bluth's new company Don Bluth Studios.
