I find little interesting
in a bunch of kids being bratty. Just a continuation of the 1934
"
Orphan's Benefit."
This short was kind of funny,
but it did get a bit out of hand when the orphans kept giving Donald a hard
time. How come they didn't do any of that stuff to Mickey? They were so sweet
and gentle with Mickey, yet were bratty little creeps with Donald.
This isn't one of my
favorite Mickey cartoons but I like watching it from time to time. The music
is nicely done though. Like '
Orphans
Benefit' it says in the opening titles "A Walt Disney Mickey Mouse" but
the film focuses on Donald while Mickey is hardly in it. There is a scene
where Mickey bumps into a tree causing all the orphans to fall on him. After
that mickey does not appear in the rest of the short; the cartoon focuses
on Donald and the orphans.
This short is really funny!
My favorite part is when the bees were chasing Donald into a log and one orphan
pushed a big rock to the end of the log to trap Donald and the bees and Donald is
getting stung in the log. It would be funny if Huey, Dewey and Louie were in this
short with the orphans, and then they be playing more tricks with Donald. I give this a 80.
