Donald Duck – Donald’s Diary (1954) – original RKO titles @erik

Uploaded March 2021 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Just like in the Buena Vista reissue – most recently seen on the US DVD Best Pals: Donald and Daisy (2006) – the opening theme in the original RKO version starts on the logo at front. On the Treasures, the RKO logo is silent and the theme starts on the Donald headshot. Other than that, the titles are the same. There were several splices in my 16mm Technicolor print, so I’ve edited and synched it to the soundtrack from the Donald and Daisy dvd.
