Donald’s Nephews - Disney The Skater Company Ltd. Japan (2004)



The Donald’s Nephews Lunch Box, released in 2004 by The Skater Co., Ltd. in Japan under license from The Walt Disney Company, featured the mischievous trio Huey, Dewey, and Louie—collectively known as Donald Duck’s nephews from Disney animation. Designed primarily for schoolchildren, the lunch box was typically made of durable BPA-free plastic with a secure snap-lock lid and colorful printed artwork showcasing the nephews in playful poses, often set against bright, sporty backgrounds that reflected early 2000s character merchandising trends. As part of Japan’s strong culture of decorative bento accessories, the lunch box combined practicality with character appeal, making it popular among young Disney fans and collectors of vintage Disney schoolware. The product exemplified how Japanese manufacturers like Skater successfully blended local lunchbox craftsmanship with globally recognized Disney characters to create functional yet highly collectible items.
