Riri, Fifi and Loulou

Creation and evolution

They appear in one of the " Strip s" weekly magazines of Donald the October 17th 1937, which will be adapted to the cinema under the title the Nephews of Donald (Donald' S Nephews) the April 15th 1938. Their mother, Della Duck, entrusts them a few days to her Donald brother during the hospitalization of her husband, victim of the explosion of a detonator that the three rogues placed under his armchair. It will be never again question of the parents of Riri, Fifi and Loulou and the guard will become permanent.

The three ducklings were many adventures of their uncle Donald starting from 1942, then of their great-uncle Picsou after his creation in 1947.

Starting from the gags and stories of Al Taliaferro and Carl Barks, Gift Rosa, in a cover design for French monthly magazine Picsou magazine , determined three times:

the Years 1930, during which they are the aces of the silly things.
the Années 1940, where their energy passes more in plays that in spite
the Années 1950 finally, where the Age of Enlightenment is reached, under the beneficial influence of Grand-Mère Donald, with adhesion with the Castors Juniors of which they quickly become multi-decorated generals. Their possession of the Manual of the Beavers Juniors, source inexhaustible of knowledge, made them essential to the treasure hunts of the uncle Picsou.

No means of differentiating them physically in a sure way not existing, the draftsmen tried to allot a color of clothing to them: Riri in red (or orange), Fifi in blue and Loulou in green Remains the mystery (solved by a history of Gift Rosa) of knowing how Donald arrives to recognizes so easily whereas themselves always cannot it!

Riri, Fifi and Loulou as cartoons

Riri, Fifi and Loulou played an important role in the drawn adventures of Donald and Picsou. They are also present through their membership at the Castors Juniors (in English The Junior Woodchucks ). Their handbook - whose five volumes were published in France - contains the answers to all the problems of the daily life. This youth organization, copied on the movement scout and having for goals the transmission of the knowledge and safeguarding of the environment, largely contributed to make small demons of origin of the responsible ducklings.

In Nap Heir Over the Rainbow , they are put to the test by Picsou, just like Donald and Gontran Bonheur, which wishes to designate a heir. Picsou entrusts to each one 1.000 US$. Donald uses them to pay the drafts of his new car; Gontran cash buries them on its chance not to need some; Riri, Fifi and Loulou entrust them to a treasure hunter. Whereas Picsou is on the point of indicating Gontran, that he considered to be most careful even if he estimates that the life is unjust , the three ducklings make fortune thanks to the discovery of the treasure and Picsou in fact its heirs.
