Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Micitype Pretty Good

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Wet Paint" is an American 6.5-minute cartoon from 1946, so this one had its 70th anniversary last year already and it is a release from directly after World War II. Donald is the star here, so it is another Disney short film from these highly prolific days and this time the humanized duck is up against another bird, a yellow one in fact, but one that is far more interesting than Tweety or Woodstock. Anyway, lots of ax swinging from Donald here and even a gun gets fired. The names King, Williams and Nash stand for quality of course and here their collaboration mounts into something extraordinary. I really enjoyed the watch. The bird(s) deliver(s) through cuteness, but still works well in a way that he really makes Donald look so funny. One tantrum early on was hilarious when it seems Donald is trying to shut his mouth with his hands being shocked by his own outburst. In addition, the ending is pretty sweet and touching almost and Donald's reaction is pure comedy gold when he sees the little birdies. What else can I say, it's one of the best Donald cartoons I have seen and also among the very best from 1946, which means quite something if you look how popular and frequent new cartoons were back then. I guess that is all. A fast, funny and clever movie. Highly recommended.

Vimacone The Disney cartoon shorts lost their innovative edge after the start of WWII. This is especially the case when the Donald Duck shorts became Disney's most popular cartoons. They regrettably fell in the trap of becoming repetitive formulas much like the Tom and Jerry or Looney Tune shorts were. It started right around the time that this short, Wet Paint was released.Fortunately, this short redeems itself as having a heartwarming ending that some of the best Silly Symphonies in the 30's did. It has a critter inadvertently getting in Donald's way thus causing him to lose his temper and torment it. This case, a bird getting in the way of Donald giving his car a new coat of paint. Donald grows impatient with the bird, Suzie, until he realizes what she is up to. One of the better Donald vs. critter shorts of this time; Where Donald doesn't get owned in the end.

OllieSuave-007 In this Disney cartoon short, Donald Duck repaints his car, but gets interfered by a string-loving bird. After tangling with the bird, Donald finds himself painting over bird tracks, hand prints and dirt on his vehicle. His flustered expressions are classic and funny, and Donald gets almost the brunt of all the bad luck in this short. But, the bird doesn't seem crafty and mischievous like Donald's other adversities like the irritating honey bee and the selfish and greedy Chip n'Dale. Instead, it's just a playful little innocent animal who just want to befriend Donald, as the ending shows.Overall, a nice little cartoon with redeeming qualities, despite Donald getting the bad luck again as usual.Grade B-

Ron Oliver A Walt Disney DONALD DUCK Cartoon.A desperate Donald tries to keep a mother bird from tracking up the WET PAINT on his convertible.The main attraction in this little film is watching the Duck engage in yet another temper tantrum. This was Susie the Bird's only appearance in a Disney cartoon. Clarence "Ducky" Nash supplies Donald with his unique voice.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
