Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone who's ever talked to their pet and fans of a well-timed joke. An animal steals a fair few scenes. Sits nicely alongside A Close Shave.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 6 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1953: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
While traveling with his nephews, Donald is disgusted that they are only interested in comics. He stops at the "fountain of youth" and tricks the kids into thinking he is a baby again. However, he gets tangled up with an aggressive mother alligator and her babies, and makes a hurried exit with the nephews.
