    Bee on Guard
    As they head out to harvest pollen for their honey supply, a swarm of military-outfitted bees leave one of the number, Spike, behind to guard their fortress-like hive. Donald Duck hopes to swipe some honey, but the feisty, red-haired (red HAIRED?) Spike proves to be a formidable adversary. So Donald transforms himself into a giant bee with a jerry-built costume (complete with "stinger"), gaining Spike's confidence and hoodwinking him sufficiently to sneak several quarts of honey right under his nose. The rest of the swarm returns and banishes Spike for dereliction of duty--whereupon Spike cooks up a scheme to trap Donald at his own duplicitous game. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Corn Chips
    While shovelling his front walk on a snowy day, Donald Duck cleverlys harnesses some "chipmunk" power by hoodwinking Chip and Dale into doing all the heavy lifting. Once they catch on, C&D decide to get even by invading Donald's house and pilfering his popcorn. But Don discovers them hiding in his food supply, and it's the Chips who nearly get themsleves "popped." This escalates into an all-out junkfood war, culminating in an impromptu football game and a rooftop skiing excursion--with Donald as usual getting the worst of it. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Dude Duck
    Donald Duck takes a vacation at the Bar None Dude Ranch in Monument Valley. Hyperactive horse Rover Boy hopes that he'll be selected for a ride through the valley by one of the gorgeous female vacationers: instead, he gets Donald. To avoid having the duck straddle his saddle, Roer Boy goes through a series of clever ploys to convince Donald that he's out of shape, to no avail. The rest of the cartoon consists of the duck and the horse trying to outwit each other--until an angry bull gets into the act. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Out of Scale
    In this cartoon, we learn that Donald Duck and Walt Disney have something in common: Both are model-train aficionados, and both have set up elaborate miniature railroads in their backyards. When Donald decides to add a real tree to his layout, he appropriates the one which serves as home and hearth for chipmunks Chip and Dale. In retalation, C&D sabotage Don's operation and set up housekeeping in a scale-model home along the tracks. Sensing that the Chips aren't going to leave without some prodding, Donald cooks up a scheme that involves a phony thunderstorm and other "unnatural" disasters--but Chip and Dale have the last laugh, as always. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Lucky Number
    Service station owner Donald Duck hopes that he'll draw the "lucky number" in a radio contest, with a brand-new "Zoom V8" car as first prize. Alas, Donald's ticket is off by one number, and he goes away for a few minutes to sulk. In the meantime, Don's teenage nephews Huey, Duey and Louie discover that their uncle has won the car after all--but when they try to tell, he's convinced they're playing a prank on them. Finally, the boys collect the car and deliver it to Donald themselves. Alas, the short-tempered Donald is still certain that he's being set up for a practical joke. . .and detructively vents his spleen on the poor, helpless car as his nephews look on in horror. The moral: No one is better at screwing up his own life than good ol' Donald Duck (Wak!) ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Donald Applecore
    It's harvest time, and Donald Duck begins gathering up apples from his vast orchard. Alas, it doesn't take long for Donald to figure out that someone has been biting huge chunks out of his apples--and that someone turns out to be those prankish chipmunts Chip and Dale. Donald fights back by hopping in his helicopter and bombarding them with insect powder. This is but the first volley in a messy battle royale which is punctuated throughout by the famous schoolyard rhyme: "Applecore!"/"Baltimore!"/"Who's you're friend?"/"Me!"--climaxed by an apple splattered in the face of the unlucky "Me". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Uncle Donald's Ants
    Following the standard movie-cartoon instructions, Donald Duck sets about to bake a cake. Unfortunately, nothing in the instructions have warned Donald of the consequnence of a leaky sugar bag. Sure enough, it isn't long before zillions of ants (all voiced by Pinto Colvig, taking time out from his usual duties as "Goofy"), who are so industrious that they actually construct a pipeline from the sidewalk to Donald's kitchen. This Disney cartoon is reminiscent of another "duck vs. the ants" epic, Tea for Two Hundred. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Trick or Treat
    It's traditional on Halloween for little costumed kids to knock on every door squealing "Trick or Treat", whereupon the homeowner is expected to hand over a treat. But when Huey, Dewey and Louie arrive at the door of their Uncle Donald, he prankishly pulls a "trick" on them, forcing them to leave empty-handed. All this is witnessed by fun-loving Witch Hazel, who takes a liking to the boys and decides to teach Donald a lesson with the help of her doglike magic broom Beezlebubb and a trio of singing ghosts. Before long, Donald finds himself unable to stop dancing--while his feet continually change color depending on the song. This delightful cartoon is distinguished by a catchy theme tune and some fascinating title designs--to say nothing of the presence of the irrepressible Witch Hazel. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Pluto's Christmas Tree
    In this "Mickey Mouse" cartoon, Mickey and his dog Pluto head out on a snowy evening to cut down their Christmas tree. As it happens, the tree selected to occupy Mickey's living room is the residence of those capricious chipmunks Chip and Dale. Deciding to have some fun at Pluto's expense, the Chips hide in the tree during the decoration process and cheerfully chow down on the candy canes. Then they wreak havoc with the Christmas lights and ornaments, as Pluto vainly tries to convince Mickey that someone is amiss. Finally C&D go into a frenzy of descruction--but Mickey's reaction is unusual indeed. A few significant cameo appearances cap this mirthsome Yuletide offering. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Let's Stick Together
    Relaxing in the park, elderly bee Spike recalls his lifelong friendship with the even more ancient Donald Duck. It all begins when Spike offers the use of his stinger to help streetsweeper Donald clean up the park, with Donald feeding and housing the bee (though sharing the same bed proves a trick proposition). Later the boys go into another business: Donald sells balloons, Spike pops them, and the customers rush back to Donald, thereby doubling his income. Other joint business venutres include knitting, crocheting, and tatooing, and before long Mr. Duck has become a millionaire off the bee's labors. Alas, the partnership dissolves thanks to that oldest and most reliable of "spoilers": namely, True Love. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Canvas Back Duck
    Accompanying his nephews to a local carnival, Donald impresses the kids by winning all the sideshow "tests of strength." Enter a nerdy youngster who tells the nephews that "My uncle can lick your uncle." Taking up the challenge, Donald agrees to go three rounds in the boxing ring with "Peewee Pete"--little imagining that he's been duped into allowing himself to get pummelled in public by a very tough prizefighter. When Donald's nephews figure out what's happening, they secretly pitch in to prevent Donald from being beaten to pulp--even outfitting their Uncle with a pair of non-regulation roller skates. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    The New Neighbor
    Donald Duck tries to extend the hand of friendship to his new neighbor Pete. Unfortunately, when you give Pete an inch, he takes a mile, and before long the boorish newcomer is dumping his garbage in Donald's yard, allowing his pet dog to run amok, and "borrowing" everything that isn't nailed down. Enough is enough, and Donald declares war on Pete--a spectacular fracas that not only attracts the attention of everyone else in town, but also is covered by the local TV media as if it were a combination boxing match and football game. Background musical themes include "Whistle While You Work". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Rugged Bear
    It's bear hunting season, and the habitually terrified Humphrey Bear desperately searches for a hideout. Unfortunely, Humphrey chooses the home of Donald Duck, a dedicated hunter whose walls are festooned with guns and stuffed trophies. When Donald returns, Humphrey disguises himself as a bear rug, a charade that forces him to endure unending humiliation and abuse. The limit comes when Donald decides that his "rug" is in pretty sorry shape, and stuffs poor Humphrey in the washing machine. But the biggest laugh is reserved for the end, when Humphrey discovers that he isn't the first bear to seek refuge in the home of Mr. Duck. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Working for Peanuts
    Originally released in 3-D, Working for Peanuts represents yet another battle of wits between Donald Duck and the irrespressible Chip and Dale. Forsaking acorns for peanuts, C&D stumble upon what seems to be an endless supply of goobers: a local zoo where resides Dolores the Elephant, whose admirers inundate her with peanuts at every opportunity. But in order to avail themselves of Dolores' food supply, the two chipmunks must evade sharp-eyed zookeeper Donald Duck. Unfortunately, Donald is a bit too fast for C&D, who are forced to come up with "Plan B": posing as a pair of "rare albino chipmunks" whom Donald must wait on hand and foot. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Don's Fountain of Youth
    Driving through the heart of Florida's swamp country, Donald Duck is upset that his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie seem more interesting in comic books than scenery. When his radiator overheats, Donald heads to a nearby pond to get some water. Discovering that this particular pond was once mistaken by Ponce de Leon as the Fountain of Youth, Donald finally figures out a way to get the boys' attention. Donning a bonnet, Donald begins babbling baby talk, terrifying his impressionable nephews. When the kids get fed up with Donald's fake crying and threaten to spank him, he pulls another stunt, pretending to "devolve" into an egg. Unfortunately, the only egg available belongs to a surly alligator--who isn't in the mood for practical jokes. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Dragon Around
    While reading a fairy tale about knights and dragons, Dale the chipmunk is horrified to see the castle-shaped tree he shares with his pal Chip being threatened by a sharp-toothed dragon--actually a steam shovel operated by Donald Duck, whose job it is to knock down the tree for a freeway project. Determined to vanquish the "monster", Chip and Dale don their homemade armor, brandish their jerry-built lances, and set out to do battle (with Chip as the knight errant and Dale as his faithful steed!) But Donald isn't so easily disposed of, forcing the "chipsters" to adopt a strategy never dreamed of In Days of Old When Knights Were Bold. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Spare the Rod
    It's chore time in the home of Donald Duck, but nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie would rather play Hawaiian music in their treehouse or indulge in a pirate game. Preparing to punish his nephews, Donald is stopped in his tracks by "The Voice of Child Psychology", who encourages Donald to "be a pal" and join their games. Alas, "understanding" goes to rather ridiculous lengths when Donald mistakes three escaped cannibals for his nephews. This cartoon is highlighted by the satirical silent-movie-style subtitles which periodically interrupt the action. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Grand Canyonscope
    Donald Duck joins a tour of the Grand Canyon, conducted by Ranger J. Audubon Woodlore ("Spread out, a little, folks. This is CinemaScape"). Unfortunately, Donald repeatedly wanders away from the group to take pictures and get into mischief. Later on, the group embarks on a burro ride to the bottom of the Canyon, with Donald getting things off to a bad start by setting off a flashbulb right in the burro's eyes. Not unexpectedly, this leads to a wild and treaherous journey to the Canyon floor, complicated not only by the temporarily blinded burro but also by the unexpected appearance of a mountain lion. By the time the cartoon comes to a close, the Grand Canyon has received its first "facelift" in nearly two million years. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Donald's Diary
    Bachelor Donald Duck recounts his recent romantic misadventures in his diary (amusingly, Donald's "narrative" voice sounds just like Ronald Colman). As the beauteous Daisy mounts an elaborate campaign to ensnare Donald as her husband, our hero can only remember that "I knew I was winning her over." Even a visit to Daisy's somewhat fearsome family--three disreputable looking younger brothers, a mother who checks Donald's financial status in Dun and Bradstreet, and an addle-pated father who spends his day cutting out paper dolls--will not dissuade Donald from his marital plans. Only a surrealistic nightmare on the eve of Donald's proposal convinces him that he's better off remaining single. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    The Flying Squirrel
    Working as a peanut vendor in a city park, Donald Duck persuades a flying squirrel to help him hang up an advertising banner, with the promise that he'll reward the squirrel with a peanut. But when Donald goes back on his word, the squirrel gets even with the help of some rather militaristic toys lifted from a "Quacker Jax" box. The battle between Donald and the squirrel escalates throughout the day, ending with the only aerial dogfight in history to be fought with "peanut bombs." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Grin and Bear It
    Donald Duck vacations at Brownstone National Park, where the effusive Ranger Woodlore greets the tourists with a "few rules"--foremost among them "Don't Molest the Bears". He then gives a similar pep talk to the park bears, warning the redoubtable Humprhey Bear not to go around stealing picnic baskets--or else (cue the "Dragnet" theme). But after seeing the other bears enjoying the hospitality of the friendly tourists, Humphrey can stand no more, and sets about to cadge a free meal from Donald--even if he has to resort to (gasp!) thievery. This leads to a wild slapstick contretemps between bear and duck, whereupon the Ranger must take a hand in matters. . .with ironically amusing results. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Bearly Asleep
    Park Ranger Donald Duck holds court over the bears in his jurisdiction, marching them into their cave for their winter hibernation. The only bear who doesn't enter into the spirit of things is good old Humphrey, who manages to make trouble even when he's asleep with his nocturnal twitching and heavy snory. Finally the other bears kick Humphrey out of the cave, forcing him to seek shelter elsewhere (that train tunner is definitely out!). Finally, Humphrey sneaks into Donald's cabin, pretending to be a sleepwalker--at which point the slapstick tomfoolery really begins to accellerate. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Up a Tree
    Lumberjack Donald Duck prepares to cut down a very tall tree, which is occupied by--you guessed it--Chip and Dale. Dale resigns himself to moving up, but Chip insists upon fighting for his home. And fight he does, sabotaging all of Donald's efforts to get his work done. But neither the duck nor the chipmunks will give up, and the result is a wild downhill ride on a log, with wide-eyed Donald heading directly into the teeth of a buzzsaw. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Lake Titicaca
    This ready-made "short subject" is actually a lengthy excerpt from the 1943 Disney animated feature Saludos Amigos. American tourist Donald Duck pays a visit to Lake Titicaca in the Bolivian Andes, 13,000 feet above sea level. Beginning with an excursion across the Lake in a saiboat, Donald has one strange and marvelous adventure after another, especially when he crosses paths with an extremely recalcitrant llama. Ultimately, Donald finds himself stranded on a high suspension bridge, leading to an unexpected "drop-in" at a native pottery shop. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    No Hunting
    Donald Duck decides to emulate his "old grandpappy" and start hunting for his food. He quickly learns that hunters are none too popular in these parts, especially because of their habit of accidentally shooting farm livestock, their wholesale littering, and their pollution of every body of water in the vicinity. When hunting season officially begins, the occasion is staged like the launching of WW2, replete with paratroopers, reconnaissance teams, tanks, howitzers and aerial dogfights. Watch for an amusing unbilled cameo by Bambi and his mother. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Beezy Bear
    Donald Duck owns a bee farm which borders a National park. Enterprising Humphrey the Bear tries to steal a little honey, whereupon Ranger Woodlore is summoned. Unable to believe that one of "my boys" is a thief, the Ranger warns both Donald and Humphrey to stay on their own sides of the boundary line. But Humphrey resorts to all manner of trickery to lure the bees away and syphon off the honey, succeeding only in being chased by the angry insects into a nearby pond--leading the Ranger to wonder why Humphrey takes so many baths. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Chips Ahoy
    On the verge of starvation, Chip and Dale want to get to an acorn-laden island in the middle of a river. Unfortunately, they can't swim, so they "borrow" a model ship from a bottle owned by (who else?) Donald Duck. To force the chipsters off the vessel, Donald tries everything from flooding the hold to faking a storm at sea. Finally, Donald attempts to give chase after C&D, but Dale has already sabotaged every available boat. By fadeout time, everyone has "gone nuts" in more ways than one. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    How to Have an Accident in the Home
    In the first of two safety-oriented Disney cartoons, we are introduced to J. Jonah Fate, eternal fall guy. Introducing an average citizen--Donald Duck!--who must duck and dodge all sorts of accidents when heading home at night, Fate reveals that Donald is his own worst enemy when it comes to household accidents--and worse, Donald never seems to catch on, blaming all his mishaps on "Fate." Since 5 million people have home accidents every year, Donald is in good company when passing the buck. The rest of the cartoon is a montage of accidents caused by gas stoves, faulty wiring, throw rugs, and household items left stranded on the stairs. Will Donald ever wise up? You'll have to stick around til the end to find out. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Cosmic Capers
    Cosmic Capers is a shortened version of Mars and Beyond, a 1956 episode of the TV anthology Disneyland. This re-edited adaptation is a brief animated history of astronomy, from Ptolemy to the Space Age. Ptolemy's theory was that the earth is center of the Universe, and it wasn't until the Renaissance that this theory was challenged by such scientific Mavericks as Galileo. Astronomers of the 18th and 19th century were particularly interested in out neighbor planet Mars, which with its ice caps and "canals" appeared to be able to sustain life. Such fantasists and H.G. Wells and Edgar Rice Burroughs went so far as to postulate the Mars was populated by a vast, scientifically advanced civilization comprised of grotesque-looking creatures The bulk of the cartoon offers some amusing speculations as to what Martians might look like (in one sequence, one of the alien monsters bears a startling resemblance to Donald Duck!) Technical consultants for the original Mars and Beyond include Werner Von Braun, Dr. E.C. Slipher and Dr. Ernest Stuhlinger. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Donald in Mathmagic Land
    This Oscar-nominated featurette is a typically felicitous Disney combination of music and live action. In search of big game, hunter Donald Duck stumbles into a strange and wonderous land dominated by numbers: numbers on the ground, numbers in the trees, numbers in the river, even numbered footprints left behind by a walking pencil. The offscreen voice of The Spirit of Adventure informs Donald that he is in Mathmagic Land, immediately dispelling the duck's dismissive attitude that mathematics is "egghead stuff" by immediately highlighting the correlation between math and music. We then travel back in time to Pythagoras, who uses mathematical equations to produce the most beautiful of music. He also disovers the "mathmagic" in the pentagram and the golden rectangle, which can mathematically reproduce itself indefinitely, and is also the foundation of all architecture and scupture. Much to Donald's fascination, he learns that mathematics can even apply to the shapes of nature, from a starfish to a tree, and to such common everyday game as chess, baseball, football, basketball and billiards. Finally, there's the most exciting "game" of all: the shape of things that are discovered and formulated in the human mind. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    How to Have an Accident at Work
    In this sequel to How to Have an Accident at Home, eternal "fall guy" J. Jonah Fate takes us into the home of a typical suburbanite named Donald Duck. A stickler for household safety, Donald makes certain that everyone in his family avoid accidents by anticipating them. But once Donald is at the workplace, it's a different story. Our hero keeps his mind on everything BUT job safety, resulting in several quick trips to the hospital. But does Donald learn from his painful experiences? Certainly not: when anything goes wrong, Donald blames "Fate" for his misfortune--and J. Jonah Fate is none too happy. One brief scene in How to Have an Accident at Work reveals that all of Donald's coworkers are named after Disney animation staffers. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    The Litterbug
    In this Disney live-action/animated "special", we are given a sneak peak at a new book called "Pest Control" by one D.D. Tee. The author/narrator explains that, while Mankind has for the most part netutralized such predatory pests as the mosquito and boll weevil, we have not yet rid ourselve of that most annoying and destructive of pests: The Litterbug (who in this film looks a lot like Donald Duck). Though the private "domains" of the Litterbug may be clean and tidy, on weekends the little nemesis is capable of littering three times its own weight. The Litterbug is most active during the vacation months, generally migrating to the beach or the mountains. We are offered some rather messy examples of the worst offenders, including "The Unconscious Carrier", "The Sports Bug", and "The Sneak Bug." The catchy closing song, performed by several not-so-timid woodland creatures, takes the Litterbug to task for blighting and polluting the landscape--and as a bonus, there's a superbly ironic closing gag. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Donald and the Wheel
    In this part-animation, part-live action Disney "special", two silhouetted figures representing the "Spirts of Progress" musically discuss the most important invention in the History of Mankind: namely, the wheel. The be-bopping duo heads back in time to visit "cave duck" Donald, who is having a hard time moving things without the benefit of the wheel. They try to convince Donald to get some inventing done by taking him on a quick trip into the future, where the wheel makes possible the formation of great civilizations, the westward expansion of the United States, the creation of such "whirling" devices as the phonograph record and the movie projector, the generation of electric power, and the exploration of outer space. Donald is duly impressed--but he may not be interested in taking responsibility for all the miracles of progress wrought by humble wheel. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
