Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

OllieSuave-007 This is a semi-funny cartoon from Disney, featuring Donald and Goofy in the polar ice-caps. Goofy is having troubles with this bait as a walrus stole his fish bucket and Donald is trying to make a meal out of penguins by disguising as one and luring a parade of them back to his camp.There are some funny moments here and there in the cartoon; I especially liked the part where Goofy is trying not to let the icicles fall on him. The "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" song that Donald plays to lure the penguins to follow him is pretty catchy - a song you would love to tap your toes to.Not a bad Donald and Goofy cartoon.Grade B-

Michael_Elliott Polar Trappers (1938) *** (out of 4)Goofy and Donald Duck are trappers in Antarctica who are a tad bit hungry. In order to get some food in their bellies, Donald decides to dress up as a penguin in hopes to catch one or more. While this is going on Goofy gets into a battle with a walrus. This animated short isn't a great film by any stretch of the imagination but it's got the typical high quality that you'd come to expect from Disney during this period. The highlight of the film is without question the scene where Donald dresses up as a penguin and joins a line of them in hopes of scoring dinner. There was another great scene where Donald fantasies about a cooked penguin yet calls it a chicken while the animated drawing is a cooked turkey.

utgard14 Disney short with Donald Duck and Goofy as animal trappers in Antarctica ("We don't know why we catch them but we bring them back alive," Goofy sings). This is the first cartoon where Donald and Goofy appear together without Mickey. Most of the cartoon deals with Donald trying to catch a penguin because he's tired of eating beans. Meanwhile Goofy is trying (and failing) to capture a walrus. Lots of funny gags in this one. The "march of the penguins" is the highlight. The animation is wonderful, particularly those gorgeous colors. The music is very lively and cheerful. The voice work from Pinto Colvig and Clarence Nash is flawless. Disney was a cut above anyone else in animation in the 1930s and cartoons like this one are prime examples of why.

Shawn Watson Donald and Goofy are up in the arctic circle for some reason (or it could be antarctic) and are hunting walruses and penguin respectively, as they are both tired of eating beans. While I have no problem with a dog eating a walrus doesn't anyone else find it weird that I duck would eat a penguin? Or 'roast chicken' as Donald calls it. What's to stop Goofy from eating him with that logic? Anyway neither of them succeed, as usual. But Goofy ends up in an ice cavern. flattened by icicles and Donald attempts to march a zillion penguins to their deaths but lets a little baby get in his way and bring about the inevitable doom.Fun nonetheless.
