The Volunteer Worker Audience Reviews

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
OllieSuave-007 This is a very short cartoon short from Disney, clocking in at just under three minutes. It features Donald Duck going door to door attempting to collect donations for charity. However, he has been rebuffed from just about everybody. However, he finally got a donation from a city worker, who said he was once helped through donations from generous people like Donald as well.It's a feel-good cartoon with some funny Donald moments, especially when he gets the doors slammed in his face, and some charitable scenes, when Donald finally receives a donation from the city worker.Grade A
TheLittleSongbird And I don't mean this at all in a bad way. Perhaps it is a little too short, even by short standards, but I still found it a very nice short indeed. The animation is really beautifully drawn and coloured, and the music adds to any humour or emotional moments without feeling out of place or feeling false. The gags are not plentiful or groundbreaking, but they are fun, which in regard to gags is more important to me, while the story moves briskly and has heart and charm, though you are left wishing for more at the end. The Volunteer Worker has a very meaningful message that anybody can relate to, and it manages to do in a way that doesn't come across as heavy-handed. Donald is a very pleasant surprise. He is playing against his usual characteristics here, playing kind and gentle instead of getting easily frustrated and temperamental in situations(Mickey is more the sort of character that I'd associate the former with). But that said, Donald does do it very well, and it was nice to see a different side to him. In conclusion, a very short Disney short but a more than worthwhile one. 9/10 Bethany Cox
