Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 8 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1941: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Hobo Donald steals dinner off Pegleg Pete's table. Pete gives Donald a stick of dynamite. Then he puts Donald to work chopping trees. To say Donald is an inept lumberjack is understating the case. After several mishaps, Pete/Pierre chases Donald on railroad handcars.
