good back-story, and good acting

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Another funny Donald Duck from Walt Disney, where Donald tries to capitalize on the rising value of eggs by storing as much eggs as he could find from a nearby chicken coop. However, a rooster won't let him have them.It's classic Donald fun and comedy as he tries to outsmart the freaky rooster by disguising himself as a hen to lure him away from the chicken coop and eggs. Plenty of back and forth tangling and misses; the scenes with the caterpillar contributed to the laughs. Donald almost had the last laugh as well, but couldn't escape his his "get stuck with all the bad luck" persona.Grade B

Golden Eggs (1941) *** (out of 4)The price of eggs are going through the roof so Donald decides to try and make some money. He goes to a chicken coop to pick some eggs but he's caught by the rooster security guard. The rest of the short has Donald trying to get to the eggs.This isn't the greatest Disney short ever produced but it certainly contains enough good moments to make it worth watching. The highlight is certainly an early scene where Donald is working his magic to try and get the chickens to lay more eggs. The production of this scene was quite funny. T he rest of the short basically has Donald dressed up as a rooster and trying to fool the guard. Again, there's nothing great about this short but it's entertaining.

Clarence Nash & Florence Gill had never sounded SO good like in this Donald Duck cartoon. In this cartoon, Donald has read in the paper that the price of eggs "sky-rocket" to 85 cents a dozen. Sure it might not much today, but I it must have been a lot back then. So he decide to harvest eggs from the hen-house for profit. But not when a protective rooster's on watch. So Donald tries disguising himself as a hen.I love this cartoon, it is one of my favorite Donald shorts from 1941. I love it when Donald flips the record from slow "Lazy Daze" music to "Hot Stuff" jitter-bug music to speed up production (with eggs 85 cents). And also when he first encounters the rooster while zipping back and forth putting eggs in the basket. It is also funny to see Donald as a hen, and it's amazing that Clarence "Ducky" Nash could cluck like a chicken in his Donald voice.Donald is the first duck to be masquerading in the guise of a chicken, because it was also done in a Daffy Duck cartoon "You were never Duckier", but in a different situation.

A Walt Disney DONALD DUCK Cartoon.Donald looks for a fast profit selling the GOLDEN EGGS his hens have produced.Here is another 'Donald gets greedy' film, but it's still fun just to watch The Duck get ever deeper into trouble. Clarence "Ducky" Nash supplies the voice of Donald; the incomparable Florence Gill voiced the hens.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
