Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?

- Made for fans of a well-timed joke and animation lovers. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too.

- Paced for all ages, at 9 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.

Donald is the baggagemaster at a remote railway station. Part of the latest cargo shipment is Hortense the Ostrich, who is a bit too friendly with Donald, and who eats everything in sight, whether it's food or not (mostly not): a concertina, an alarm clock, some balloons, all of which start reacting when Hortense gets the hiccups.
