Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
OllieSuave-007 This is an averagely-made Disney cartoon short where Donald and Goofy goes on a fox hunt. But first, Donald has some trouble controlling his band of lazy bloodhounds and Goofy has some issues dealing with his horse. Then, it's just a lot of running around and hide and seek with Donald and a small fox. Nice animation, but not much humor in this one - just a lot of average slapstick stuff. Nothing really stood out for me, except for the random cameo appearances of Mickey, Minnie and Clark Cluck at the end of the cartoon short. I did, though, loved the tunes Goofy and Donald belch out while on their hunt, and their voice actors always do such a good job making the characters come to life.Grade C
TheLittleSongbird I am also against fox hunting, but this didn't stop me from watching and loving 1938's The Fox Hunt. A cartoon, also from Disney, but from 1931 of the same name is also worth watching for its great gags but I found 1938 better for the quality of the animation and the stronger collection of characters. The animation is really great, not only is it very colourful and smooth but it also has much detail in the backgrounds. The music has Disney's usual character and energy and does well again in enhancing the action. The gags come by fast and are very funny, the best being with Donald as his actions constantly backfires, while both characters are delightful. Donald is marginally more effectively used of the two, he has fun interactions with both the fox( blowing the trumpet trying to get the fox out of the ground) and the hounds(getting himself in a knot with them getting easily temperamental at trying to control them). Goofy's role is smaller, but his likability and clumsiness ensures that he is memorable in his instructional-like role. There are also pleasing appearances from Mickey, Clarabelle, Horace, Minnie and Clara, almost like the whole gang together but with varying degrees of screen time, while the voice work is impeccable. On the whole, very enjoyable indeed, the animation is very well done and the gags all work. 9/10 Bethany Cox
Shawn Watson I'm dead against Fox hunting. It's just plain evil and it's not even a bloody sport. It's just bloody. It's banned here in Britain though evil toffs still participate in and don't get arrested.Donald and Goofy are on such a hunt. They don't manage to kill the fox as the horses are lame and the dogs are too dumb to rip the poor animal apart. In fact, nothing at all really happens in this 8-minute cartoon other than the dogs leading Donald the wrong way.While I hate the hunt you have to appreciate that this was made during Disney's non-PC days. Nothing like this would be made now. The very core of what Disney build his empire on has been quashed by the PC dunderhead execs that run it now. If Walt were alive today he'd be furious.
Ron Oliver A Walt Disney DONALD DUCK & GOOFY Cartoon.Hunter Goofy and Master of the Hounds Donald are determined to turn THE FOX HUNT into a splendid day of sport - whether the fox likes it or not.This very funny little film from Disney's Golden Age is filled with excellent animation and great good humor. Notice Donald's use of bloodhounds, rather than the more traditional foxhounds. The other hunters, making only the tiniest of appearances, are Mickey & Minnie Mouse, Horace Horsecollar & Clara Cluck. Once again, Clarence Nash gives a superb performance as the voice of the irascible Duck.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by pictures & 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 comic 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 storm of naysayers, 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 childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
