Hey there Steven,
What you're looking for is the clip of Donald interacting with Robert Benchley in The Reluctant Dragon. It's available within the full movie in Walt Disney Treasures: Behind the Scenes at Walt Disney Studios as well as an excerpt in the special features for Walt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald (go to the Special Features menu and highlight the Angel Donald. If you highlight Devil Donald, you get "The Volunteer Worker"). I think it might have also been used in one of the "Disneyland" episodes ("The Plausible Impossible"?), which should also be in the Behind the Scenes set. If you have either of those sets, you'll have the clip you need. Disney later re-purposed the clip in 1981 for the television special "The Illusion of Life", where they replaced Robert Benchley's bits with footage of Hayley Mills talking to Donald. It's up on youtube, though the quality isn't very good:
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fwq7iByUOcM?fs ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fwq7iByUOcM?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Jump ahead to 3:04 to get to the Donald Duck clip.
Hope that helps!
