Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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
Best for history and war-film fans and anyone who wants a laugh. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 6 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1943: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

The old shell game gets a new face as Donald stays off-base past "Taps" and has to try to sneak back in with out alerting Pete.
