Synopsis

In the African jungle, the narrator introduces us to the various birds living there and to wildlife photographer Donald Duck intent on getting some pictures. Unfortunately, all his attempts to photograph birds are ruined by the "clown of the jungle", the Aracuan Bird. Example: when Donald attempts to photograph a chorus line of hummingbirds, the Aracuan Bird interrupts the picture with a Russian kick dance. Donald becomes aggravated to the point where he gives chase but the bird always manages to outsmart Donald and make short work of his sanity.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
OllieSuave-007 A narrator voiced over this cartoon short on a series of tropical birds in an African jungle. In the jungle photographing, or trying to, is Donald Duck. Like a previous cartoon, he seemed to never be able to pull the camera shutter. To make things complicated, an Aracuan Bird with a wacky cackling voice makes life difficult for Donald. What results is the usual bad luck Donald inherits.There are a few funny slapstick moments at Donald's expense. The animation was very nice and colorful and there are some of the classic Donald expressions that we've come to love. The birds singing and crooning like people singing were somewhat interesting to look at. It's still more of an average Donald cartoon, though.Grade C-
TheLittleSongbird This is also one of my favourite Donald Duck cartoons, and it is certainly the best of the ones featuring the Aracuan bird. The animation is vibrant and colourful, just look at the gorgeous backgrounds right at the start, and the music is as energetic and bouncy as ever before with a beautifully harmonised bird song. The story is a tad routine, but skips along very nicely in the pace, and the sight gags and humour are constantly hilarious, such as the sight of the Aracuan bird shaking Donald's beak. The Aracuan bird is absolute nuts(reminds me of a more maniacal version of Roadrunner), but isn't he funny? Donald's cantankerous and somewhat rude personality perfects contrasts. The vocal work is stellar. Clown of the Jungle is a short cartoon at 6 minutes, but it is 6 minutes or animated joy and fun. 10/1 Bethany Cox
yle There are two versions of this -- one broadcasted every Christmas in Scandinavia. The second (original?) is a bit longer with more cartoon violent gags put into it towards the end. Very Tex Avery-ish and highly amusing. Did Disney's "family values" censorship kick in somewhere? Both are great fun, but try to get hold of the extended one.
action-6 Clown of the jungle is one of my all-time favorite Donald-movies. Donald is in the rainforest in South-America as a bird-photographer. All of Donald`s attempts of taking pictures of the rare birds are ruined by a bird who is absolutely crazy! That bird is what makes this one of my favorite Donald-movies and it is great fun for the entire family. 10/10
