“A Walt Disney DONALD DUCK Cartoon.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDonald is certainly CRAZY OVER DAISY, but Chip u0026#39;nu0026#39; Dale may drive him loony if they donu0026#39;t stop pestering him.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe opening sequence of this film, with Donald pedaling about town on his ordinary while whistling the catchy title tune, has an amiable Gay Nineties ambiance (look fast for cameos from Goofy as an iceman and Mickey u0026amp; Minnie in an ancient jalopy). Once the little rodents arrive on the scene, however, it becomes just another Chipmunk cartoon. Clarence u0026quot;Duckyu0026quot; Nash provides Donald with his unique voice.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWalt 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 u0026amp; Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Waltu0026#39;s older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager u0026amp; counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Waltu0026#39;s imagination, ensuring Disneyu0026#39;s immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickeyu0026#39;s screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Waltu0026#39;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 Waltu0026#39;s genius was unbeatable. Mickeyu0026#39;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 Waltu0026#39;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 u0026amp; 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.”
