Donald's Quack Attack was a television series on the Disney Channel which ran in 1992. It premiered on March 1, 1992, along with Mickey's Mouse Tracks 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 With a clip in the corner from a random Donald Duck cartoon. There was a thermometer with Donald's head on the bottom. When the clip showed Donald getting angry, the head on the thermometer would go up and make a dinging sound. This was called the "Quack Attack Meter." 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 didn't 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." The show premiered back in 1992 and was made to replace Donald Duck Presents. It wasn't possible to know what episode was going to be shown on any given day, but the show did feature showings of some shorts that don't 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 October 2002.
