Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for fans of a well-timed joke and animation lovers. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too.
- 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 1938: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Schoolboy Donald is torn between his angel and devil sides, though in Donald's case, the devil side isn't hard to resist. But the smoking he's encouraged to do turns him green and gives him regrets, and when the good side shows up and kicks evil's butt, Donald cheers.
