Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This is one of the best Donald Duck cartoons to feature Donald Duck at work in the Royal Bros gift wrapping department being the worst gift wrapper worker and goofing off. Here is the summary.Donald Duck runs late to work, he uses the magnet so he can clock in early. He then looks at the woman statue and his head transforms into a wolf head and he whistles at it. The speaker horn talks to Donald and sings a song which Donald hates and wants it over with.Then the toys zoom by very fast it pulls Donalds blue shirt and hat off leaving him undressed. He quickly runs over and puts his shirt and hat on.Donald Duck makes a gift wrapping mess by first rolling the fish bowl on the table like a bowling ball and it knocks over perfume bottles. He wraps it and smashes the bowl with the ink stamp. He plays the trumpet and uses the clamp to turn it into a tuba and puts it in the box. He puts the ring in the football box and deflates the football in the ring box, plays with the clock pedestal and reads the book pretending to work. He then pulls out his lunch and pours coffee in his cup and the speaker horn sneezes spraying the drink in Donalds face which he gets angry. He pretends to say sorry and makes faces, wraps a box very sloppy, plays with perfume and plays with the speaker horn.Donald then wraps a rocking chair with him in it, then a Jack in the box comes down and Donald plays with it but he can't get it shut. The Jack in the box launches Donald across the counter through the gift boxes until his head hits the sand dumper toy which spills sand all over his beak. He tries to clamp the box with a vice, shoves a rubber ball into the speaker which fires at the clamp and the Jack in the box hits Donalds head into the pie causing him to wear a pie hat and get very angry.Finally Donald ties the Jack in the box down and hammers it down with stakes. But the box breaks through the floor, Donald looks down out the window and is surprised to see it go through the floor. Donald runs down the stairs and pulls Jacks head but ends up getting pulled into the jack in the box getting trapped inside until he finally emerges out of the box with Jack stealing Donalds blue shirt and hat while Donald wears Jacks clown accordion costume and nightcap. Donald complains about his costume.His boss tells him it's cleaning time, Donald is excited and runs upstairs still wearing Jacks clown costume only to find out he has to wrap more gifts and Donald replies in anger and runs upstairs to beat up on the boss.I find this cartoon very silly as Donald Duck wearing only a blue shirt and hat but doesn't wear pants as usual. I did feel sorry for Donald when the sand spills all over his beak while being stuck in the gift boxes I wonder how he escaped. It's even sillier when his head turns into a wolf, wears a pie hat, has clothes blown off him, and the best part is, he switches clothes with Jack in the box. Jack wears Donalds shirt and hat, While Donald wears Jacks accordion clown costume with a nightcap but still no pants.Also what happened to the Jack in the box who stole Donald's shirt and hat and disappeared, Did Donald Duck ever get the shirt and hat back from Jack? Also did Donald Duck ever managed to take off his accordion shirt that he took from Jack-in-the-box? Did Donald Duck ever find a way to finally close the Jack-in-the-box toy that refused to stay shut? Did Donald Duck get fired from his job? Who knows, but that would be a Donald Duck sequel I would like to see as this cartoon ends in a cliffhanger. I want to see a part 2 sequel where Donald Duck is still wearing an accordion costume with a nightcap.I'm surprised there isn't an action figure toy or t-shirt that depicts Donald Duck in the accordion costume with the nightcap and the Jack in the box wearing the shirt and hat like this cartoon, there should be one.Anyways I enjoyed the cartoon with Donald Duck in the clown costume losing his temper. I hope Disney company will make a part 2 of this cartoon which is very unlikely.

Donald Duck (voiced by Clarence Nash).Director: JACK KING. Story: Harry Reeves, Rex Cox. Animators: Don Towsley, Josh Meador, Judge Whitaker, Bill Justice. Lay-outs: Ernest Nordli. Backgrounds: Howard Dunn. Music: Oliver Wallace. Color by Technicolor. RCA Sound System. Executive producer: Walt Disney.Copyright 2 November 1944 by Walt Disney Productions. Released through RKO Radio Pictures. A Walt Disney "Donald Duck" cartoon. 1 reel. (The Buena Vista DVD rates 10/10).SYNOPSIS: Donald is employed in the gift-wrapping department of the Royal Bros. Department Store. As the only employee in this section, he is literally showered with gifts. Some, he finds comparatively easy to wrap. Others, such as a Jack-in-the-box, predictably prove more difficult.
COMMENT: A quick-paced, mildly amusing entry in this series, attractively colored and animated. Off-beat in that Donald is the only "live" character on screen, though he does do battle with a lively speaking tube that carries hurry-up messages from his boss.

This is a rather funny cartoon starring Donald Duck as a gift wrapper in a department store. But, he's not the most prudent worker as he takes breaks to eat his lunch and alter gifts so he could fit them in the gift boxes - quite hilarious! The animation is another nicely done piece of work and Clarence Nash does a great voice over work for Donald as always.Donald's little tangle with the Jack-in-the-Box was the highlight of the cartoon, along with him grappling with the speaker horn where his boss yells out instructions in a rather annoyingly polite way.Quite funny all around and Donald does his best when he's frustrated.Grade B+

Donald Duck works at the Royal Bros. Department Store in the gift wrapping department, and on this morning he was late to work. But, using a magnet he set the punch clock back so no one would notice he was tardy. Donald races downstairs to the gift wrapping department and is greeted by his boss on the bullhorn, who then recites the Royal Bros. motto, which included that the employees did not watch the clock. Donald however could not wait for 5:00 to roll around. In the meantime, a ton of items to be gift wrapped came pouring down the chute. The first item was a goldfish bowl. Donald did a fine job wrapping it, until he stamped it "Fragile" which broke it. He next picked a very small box for an inflated football. To make it fit, he deflated it. Next, he filled a six-shooter with ink and marked one package a "rush". The boss on the bullhorn listened to Donald's every move so when Donald wanted to pause and read a comic book, he rustled paper and shook boxes at the bullhorn to fool his boss. Next Donald is sent a rocking chair to wrap, and he wraps it with himself sitting in the seat.Just then the boss announced that productivity in all departments would increase. Donald sat back happily thinking about the extra money he'd be making, until it was announced that Donald's department wasn't included. Next, Donald struggles to wrap a jack-in-the-box that wouldn't stay closed. He tried everything from clamping it down, to tying it down. Finally, he had to wrestle with it, switching clothes in the process. Finally, 5:00 came. Quitting time. But before Donald could run upstairs he was asked to stay and wrap a few more items. The boss knew Donald wouldn't mind, but Mr. Duck decided to express his feelings by racing upstairs and beating up his boss.The Clock Watcher. Another classic Donald Duck cartoon. This time he works in a department store as a gift wrapper, and we can pretty much assume that he is not very good at it. But by the end of this cartoon, he becomes a hero to the workers by racing upstairs and beating up his boss, so it's a safe bet he has been fired. This cartoon is celebrating its 60th anniversary. It's also available on a brand new Donald Duck DVD chronicling all his hits from 1942 to 1946! So, from 1945, The Clock Watcher. I recommend it to all the Donald fans out there!
