The Donald Duck universe is a fictional shared universe which is the setting of stories involving Disney cartoon character Donald Duck, as well as Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Scrooge McDuck, and many other characters. The world is a spin-off of the older Mickey Mouse universe, yet has become much more extensive. Life in the Donald Duck universe centers on the city of Duckburg, usually located in the fictional U.S. state of Calisota, analogous to Northern California. The world also incorporates several other real and fictional locations, as well as historical figures and a fictional timeline, which is followed by varying degrees of consistency. Disney comics are the primary medium for Donald Duck stories. Contributors include Americans Carl Barks, Ted Osborne, Don Rosa, Tony Strobl, Al Taliaferro, and William Van Horn, as well as Italians Giovan Battista Carpi, Marco Rota, and Romano Scarpa. Other media includes children's books such as Little Big Books and Little Golden Books, television series such as ''Duck Tales'' (1987-1990) and ''Darkwing Duck'' (1991-1992), and video games such as ''QuackShot'' (1991), ''Goin' Quackers'' (2000), and ''DuckTales: Remastered'' (2013). "Donald Duck universe" is not an official Disney term, but is sometimes used by fans. Don Rosa has also used the terms Barks Universe and Italian Duck Universe to describe different versions of the world's continuity. ==History== Most of the characters have appeared in the 1980s Disney cartoon series ''DuckTales''. Disney's ''Darkwing Duck'' series is nominally set in the ''DuckTales'' universe, in a metropolis called St. Canard, although aside from sharing the denizen Launchpad McQuack, and a few crossover episodes involving GizmoDuck, there is no interaction. The ''Darkwing Duck'' material does not appear in Barks' comics, as the ''Darkwing Duck'' TV series was created decades after Barks's active years as a comic artist. Later, a few characters would be the main characters in the show ''Quack Pack''. However, in the magazine ''Disney Adventures'', there was a five-part crossover/storyline titled "Legend of the Chaos God" which began with ''TaleSpin'', and continued with ''Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers'', ''Goof Troop'', and ''DuckTales'', then concluded with ''Darkwing Duck''. Duckburg was the setting of the 1987 animated series ''DuckTales''. The cartoon's version of Duckburg was based heavily on the comics' version. Duckburg appeared in the 1990s animated series ''Quack Pack''. In Quack Pack, Duckburg was populated almost entirely by human beings, with Donald, Daisy, and Donald's nephews as the only anthropomorphized animals that usually appeared. Moreover, the Money Bin is nowhere to be seen. Duckburg was the setting for one of the three initial levels of the video game ''Quackshot'' and also for the second level of the video game ''Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers''. Duckburg was also used for the setting of Mickey's Birthdayland (later Mickey's Starland) at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom from 1988 to 1996. It even included Grandma Duck's Farm and a statue of Cornelius Coot, though it was more of a rural town than a burgeoning metropolis. The connection to Duckburg was removed as the land was renovated in 1996 to become Mickey's Toontown Fair. However, the Cornelius Coot statue remains. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donald Duck universe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
