CORRECTION: A member of D.O.N.A.L.D. has informed me that my translation of the acronym should actually be "German Organization of Non-commercial Devotees of Pure Donaldism" - sorry about that! Because of a few things that were out of my control, this trip was more costly than expected - if you want to support the show and help me do more cool things like this, joining the Patreon is a great way to do so! Thanks for watching, y'all🌈www.patreon.com/dreamsounds
the talk you mentioned sounded so ominous hahah ("are you with Donald? ... me too. follow me") glad you had a great time there!! now I can't help but wonder how many different professional backgrounds Donaldists have already used as the basis for their research. great video!!
As an English speaker, I obviously only know Erika Fuchs by name, rather than her actual work. But the genius of Carl Barks is pretty clear! I only wish something like this existed in the US.
I smiled through this whole video. You did an excellent job explaining Donaldism and I'm so glad you went to the convention and interviewed people! This is so fascinating and I love seeing the enthusiasm of people for something they love. Great video!
wow even without translation you could totally hear the emotional difference between how they sang the song in the restaurant & how they sang it to honor the friends who have passed on. very affecting. what an interesting community, thank you for making a video exploring it!
A similar community also operates in Sweden, Finland and Denmark. In Finland, the equivalent is Ankistit Ry. The communities of the countries cooperate a lot, for example, recently they made a group petition to Disney demanding that Disney not ban the comic stories by artists Don Rosa and Carl Barks.
Girl from one trans person to another, your voice is freaking amazing as of late. I'm a trans guy not on t and your voice is legit more feminine and higher pitched than mine. Seriously good job, I know how much work it is to train your voice and it's impressive stuff, no doubt helped by your skill with vocals. Also, this community is adorable. Love seeing wholesome communities form.
This was lovely Marlene, thanks for sharing! I love getting even a little peek into the beautiful weirdness of the world in new ways, and this definitely counts as beautiful weirdness.

As a Donaldist and member of the D.O.N.A.L.D. I'm really moved by the honest, careful and sincere interest in our work. It's such a sweet and well researched documentary about is.
It’s interesting how different fandom can be around the world. The donaldists seem like very lovely people. I would love to go to one of these conventions some day!
I put all the videos in my sub feed into my Watch Later playlist to watch at my own pace, and at first before you started explaining it I had to go check to see if this was posted on April 1st 😂 This was a fascinating video! You always find the coolest topics that other Disney UA-camrs don’t, and the vibes are always immaculate. Perfect as always, Marlene 💙
Good work as always. I'm terribly sorry I wasn't more help with the tax thing, but this video was sooooo worth it. This is such an interesting view into a part of the Duck fandom that I wasn't really aware of, so thank you.
What an odd, magical little video. This was special. Thank you for all of the work and research you did on this! You made it interesting and engaging for someone who never cared about Donald Duck

Donald > Mickey.
By far.
Meeting up at the votreffen sounded hush hush, Quack and Dagger if you will 🤭
I’m still so intrigued that this is a thing! It may be smallish group but their passion is there. Thank you for the insight to Donaldism.
We are more than 1100 members
you did not have to blur me at 11:45 😁 - great video - really enjoyed it!
Sorry about that, I forgot to find some people at the convention and ask for permission!😅But thanks for watching :)
love to see authentic connection, and you did a phenomenal job capturing it
This is wholesome, I love fandom so much such pure love to an interest :)))
I love learning more about fellow humans
They’re so fun
Donald also had a fandom in the nordics too!
Not the main thing,
but thank you for masking.
So many people are trying to pretend the pandemic is over.
I never knew of this community! That's fascinating
This is such a fascinating part of the world I did not know about before this video. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
wow! that's crazy (in a good way)! so interesting!
This is awesome
This is so fun tbh
@Dreamsounds can you speak or understand German?
Yes, I speak German
It's so amazing when a fandom becomes a little community where people gather together at conventions. I wish that happens with my fandoms.
I'd imagine Steven Universe fandom becoming a mad max scenario if there were every a community of them.

Donald is quite popular in Japan too! I love Donald, he’s such a grouchy little man!

I would love to be in a community like this.
This was fascinating! I love learning about extremely niche/granular fandoms.
Sorry mom, going off to become a donaldist and become the new member of the fearsome five in St. Canard.
Wenn ich nur von dieser Organisation gewusst habe, wann ich Deutschland gewohnt habe! Great video, danke!
I didn’t realize this was a thing, thank you for sharing it with all of us!!!
