According to http://www.ibdprince.com/metric.shtml that would be around
68 cm which is actually quite short. If Donald is app. 85% of Mickey's
height, he would be only app. 58 cm which is much shorter than Tristan's
estimate that Donald's height is around half of that of Walt Disney. I
don't know Walt Disney's height, but assuming he is 180 cm, Donald would
be app. 90 cm.
I wonder if Barks' dog-nose characters are supposed to be the height of
humans, but if so, it seems like Barks saw the ducks as being just above
half height of humans.
