PodBill Just what I expected
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
OllieSuave-007 Donald and Pluto team up once again in another hilarious cartoon short, where Donald is in charge of cleaning the windows of an apartment high-rise (brave of Donald doing so without any safety harness!), while Pluto attempts to help. Unfortunately, the lazy dog rather sleep, and Donald gets himself tangling with an angry bee.It's another beautifully animated short with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments; Donald was absolutely hilarious in this one, from him attempting to wake up Pluto with his cackling voice to him accidentally splashing a buckle of bolts onto a window instead of water.Donald's singing is sure to crack anybody up, and his little fight with the bee was pretty entertaining. It's just too bad Pluto wasn't of much help in this story.Funny stuff here! Grade A
crosswalkx I have seen this 1940 Donald Duck cartoon. It's funny and embarrassing at the same time.This short starts out with Donald Duck wearing a blue shirt and sailor hat but no pants or shoes, singing while standing on the roped platform being hoisted up by Pluto the dog.Things go wrong for Donald Duck while he's washing windows. First his hat and tail feathers gets clipped and Donald is annoyed by this. He also falls down and lands on a statue horse. He has trouble getting Pluto to wake up to get him a bucket of water. Then Pluto wakes up and Donald ends up hooking to a bucket of bolts and breaks the window.Donald tries to drown the bee in water as a joke. The bee gets mad at Donald and attacks Donald. Donald Duck fights the bee until he ends up getting his body tied up on the roped platform with his feathery rear end exposed for the bee to sting. Donald tries to blow at the bee to stop the bee from stinging him, but they both get tired out.The bee finally stung Donald Duck in the butt and it causes Donald to get untied and he falls head first into the drain pipe all the way down at the bottom pipe, where he calls Pluto for help. But Pluto ignores him and shoves his foot into Donald's head and goes back to sleep.I find it funny that Donald Duck gets his hat and tail feathers trimmed and he breaks the window. I also find it embarrassing that Donald Duck gets his rear end stung by a bee without any pants on. I also feel sorry that Donald Duck is stuck in the pipe. I hope someone can get him out. Hopefully the Disney company will extend the ending with Donald Duck getting out of the drain pipe.
Shawn Watson This cartoon reminded me a lot of a previous Donald short called Clock Cleaners. The same high rise/vertigo gags are used but that doesn't stop it from being funny.Donald is washing windows while Pluto down on the ground sends up fresh buckets of water. But he's to busy napping and ignores Donald when prompted with a hook to the head. Instead Donald snares a bucket of bolts (why would a window washer have a bucket of bolts?) and smashes a huge pane of glass with it. But his troubles aren't over as a bee makes it his mission to sting Donald for soaking him.Despite some erection/impotence imagery at the end with the bee struggling to make a decent sting, it's amusing.
Ron Oliver A Walt Disney DONALD DUCK Cartoon.Donald & Pluto are WINDOW CLEANERS on a large skyscraper, but the Duck's day comes unstrung when he plays a joke on a very belligerent bee...This was one of a small handful of cartoons to co-star the Duck and the Pup, their very different personalities bouncing well off of each other. The addition of the Bee to the mix only adds to the vertiginous hilarity. The legendary Carl Barks wrote the story; Clarence Nash supplied Donald with his unique voice.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by pictures & 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 comic 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 childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
