Lori Kristen Kelly's Donkey Ducks were brought to life when her then-5 year old daughter, Sienna, asked her to draw a duck. Lori drew something which Sienna thought was a donkey, to which Lori answered "It's a donkey duck!". And then, Donkey Ducks were born! Just like Disco Lance, Lori always felt like she was unique from the other kids growing up in elementary school. Always being tall and lanky, Lori got called names and was laughed at, just like Disco Lance. Lori turned what she thought was a disadvantage into an advantage when she worked as a fashion model in New York City and Italy. She wants to teach other children to use their uniqueness to their advantage, and also appreciate and learn from others' uniqueness as well.

When Disco Lance brings his 70's style and disco moves to school, he gets made fun of by all the other kids who think he's different and strange.
