Billposters (1940)
6/10
Fun, if senseless
28 August 2005
In this cartoon Donald and Goofy are out in the countryside pasting up posters for tomato soup. It's a rather odd place to be doing such a thing considering such ads are usually pasted over the plywood boards of an abandoned shop in a dreary ghetto, but never mind.

Goofy decides to paste a poster onto a windmill (a rather odd choice) but ends up getting frustrated by the twirling blades. Donald is pasting a poster on a farmhouse but is tormented by a tin can-eating goat (cartoons often portray goats as can-eaters-is this for real or is it just a myth?) who eats the posters as soon as he puts them up.

After some effort they both overcome their obstacles and succeed at their task. Now all the country animals can appreciate the tomato soup ad. Weird.
