## Origin

**Tootsie**, the adorable little penguin gifted to Donald Duck by Admiral Byrd in the 1939's short movie "Donald's Penguin", steals the spotlight with her fiery temper and never-ending appetite for seafood, especially Donald's precious tropical fish.

When Donald unwraps the present and opens the box, Tootsie is sleeping surrounded by ice. Donald takes her out and wakes her up by shaking her. She slaps him trying to fight back and then sits on the box lid looking grumpy. Donald walks around, sniffs her and thinks of what to do with her, and she is also very suspicious of Donald copying his actions and trying to understand something about him. They end up walking around arrogantly because Tootsie does not like Donald's smell and goes away, and Donald decides to do the same. Eventually he scares her, and she hits herself on the wall trying to run away, which makes him laugh, but Tootsie is not upset for long as she notices fish in a tank next to her and licks her mouth looking forward to eating them. She manages to jump up to the shelf to get to the tank, but Donald notices her intentions and scolds her.

While Donald is not looking, Tootsie eats his fish one by one pretending like nothing happened. Seeing him angry, she tries to hide in a corner, but Donald catches her and slaps her as a punishment. Tootsie starts crying, and Donald takes her to the fish tank only to realize that the fish have not been eaten but were hidden in their house. He realizes his mistake and puts Tootsie back down on the floor apologizing to her, but Tootsie is offended, so she proudly walks away. Donald starts begging for forgiveness but Tootsie closes her ears.

Donald decides to make up for his mistake by bringing her some fish from the fridge, but when he comes back he realizes that both Tootsie and the fish are gone. He decides not to jump to conclusions this time and assumes that the fish are hidden in their little house again. He takes the house out of the tank only to find that Tootsie is inside, most likely having eaten his precious fish. She starts running away and splashing water at him, eventually hiding under a chest. Donald demands that she has to come out and puts his hand under the chest but gets into a mousetrap. Tootsie sneaks around and steals the fish from his hand. Donald chases her to the wardrobe and tells her to come out threatening with a rifle that "This is the end for you!" Tootsie shakes and cries accepting her gloomy fate. However, Donald starts crying, too, because he cannot kill her. He puts the rifle away but it falls and shoots, making a hole in the wall right where Tootsie was standing, prompting Donald to call and look for her. However, Tootsie walks out of the wardrobe in one piece, and Donald emotionally hugs her.
