Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for people who need a good giggle and animation lovers. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too. Sits nicely alongside A Close Shave.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 7 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1946: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Donald is a lighthouse keeper. He shines the light on a sleeping pelican; the angry bird comes into the lighthouse and tries to put out the light. Donald and the bird do battle through the rest of the picture.
