The Worst Film Ever
ThedevilChoose
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Don Donald was very interesting. The animation is very well done and colourful, and the music is stylish. The story is rather routine and the middle half of the short is rather slow. But it is funny, the two duck stars are very appealing, and one of the main reasons why I like this short is because Donald finds love. There are some good jokes like Donald's attempts to mend the broken down car, Donald laughing whenever Daisy does something funny much to her annoyance, and Donald's hat shrinking when it fills with water. And Clarence voices Donald to perfection. I have always thought this Donald Duck cartoon as an interesting one, it isn't the best, but it isn't the worst either. But it is one of the better ones. 8/10 Bethany Cox

"Don Donald" has the distinction of being Donald's first solo cartoon. That's its only distinction. It offers no more than occasional, incomplete glimpses of Donald's personality, which had been far more fully developed in his cameo in "The Band Concert" (1935) and the ten or so cartoons that had been made since in which he had co-starred.The basic problem is one of casting. Donald may be the greatest, richest cartoon creation of all time, but there are some things he can't do, and role-playing song-and-dance is one of them. This is more the kind of cartoon that was assigned to Mickey at the start of HIS solo career. Mickey was born to play roles. Donald was always best as himself. (That's one of the reasons why Mickey's segment in "Fantasia" would be, if it were separate, one of the best short cartoons ever made, while the best that can be said of Donald's segment in the generally ill-conceived "Fantasia 2000" is that it was a game but doomed effort.) It's surprising that a director as talented and astute as Ben Sharpsteen could have made so elementary a mistake.Donald's solo career would soon take off. Later in 1937 he'd appear in "Modern Inventions" and "Donald's Ostrich", both the real thing.

The character that is in this short is not Daisy but Donna Duck who briefly appeared in comic strips even meeting Daisy in one of them,which means they are not the same person.Donald first dates this woman who temper matches his own and Daisy's.This woman doesn't need the protection or help of her partner like Minnie.In this movie the male and the female character are alike in so many aspects it gets intriguing.Too bad Disney didn't oftenly use srong female characters.Easily one of the most interesting Donald shorts and the first to portray him as a lover.

This very funny Donald Duck short puts the feathered one south of the border as he tries to woo an attractive young female duck. This film marks the first appearance of the character that would become Daisy Duck, but it's not the Daisy we've come to know. This duckette has a temper to match Donald's. Watching this made me wish they had left the Daisy Duck character like this, making her a much more suitable match for Donald.
