Donald's Dilemma is a Walt Disney Studios animated cartoon directed by Jack King and starring Donald and Daisy Duck. It was originally released on July 11, 1947 in the United States. The title of this short is a misnomer, as it is Daisy, rather than Donald, who confronts the story's central dilemma. The "Donald Duck song," also known as "No One But Donald Duck," which became Donald Duck's official theme song, made its debut in this cartoon.

Plot

Daisy narrates her problem to an unseen psychologist through flashback scenes. Her problem started on a spring day when she was out on a date with Donald and a flower pot fell on his head. He regained consciousness soon enough but with some marked differences. His singing voice was improved to the degree in which it sounds identical to Frank Sinatra, but Donald had no memory of who Daisy was. He became a well-known crooner and his rendition of "When You Wish Upon a Star" from Pinocchio became a hit, which gave him a large number of fans. Daisy's loss resulted in a number of psychological symptoms - she suffered from insomnia, anorexia and self-described insanity. An often censored scene features her losing her will to live and pointing a gun at her head, while in front of a table of other suicide methods, including a noose, a grenade, a bomb, a knife, and poison. She decided that she would see Donald once again at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, at any cost, but failed to do so. That's when she decided to go to the psychologist - and the flashback meets the actual time of the cartoon.
