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
Aimed squarely at animation lovers. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 8 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1936: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Mickey and Donald take a truckload of mouse boys on a picnic. The boys delight in tormenting Donald, first by filching the picnic food, then giving him a flower with a bee inside (Donald eventually gets the whole hive after him), and finally a sandwich with another bee in it.
