Why 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
- Great for animation lovers. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too.

- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 7 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1959: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
J.J. Fate again shows us how accidents aren't his fault, but instead are the result of carelessness. Donald is Mr. Careful at home, but at work, he starts right off by falling down the stairs. He has run-ins with a punch press, flammable paint, a conveyor belt, loose clothing, a monkey wrench, and other problems.
