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
- Best for people who need a good giggle and animation lovers. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too. Shelve it next to In a Heartbeat.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 8 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1941: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Donald has to get up early, but everything seems to be working to keep him awake. His loudly ticking alarm clock resists several attempts to quiet it. Donald ultimately swallows it; the glow-in-the-dark dial can be seen through his feathers. Then his folding bed folds up on him. Springs start popping out of it; Donald builds an elaborate framework to hold it down. Finally, enough of the clock reassembles itself to sound the alarm and night is over.
