Golden Eggs (1941)
8/10
The bird keeps birds
4 October 2005
As I can't help nitpicking I do find it a little odd that Donald Duck, who is himself a bird, keeps loads of hens. In this cartoon he learns of the skyrocketing price of eggs (there must be a shortage of hens then) and rushes out to the barn to prompt them into laying loads of them with some upbeat music.

But the barn Rooster has other ideas and insists that the eggs stay put. Why would Donald allow the Rooster to push him around so much? And why would the Rooster really care what Donald does with the eggs? It's not like he's going to be doing much with them himself. Despite these moans, the cartoon is very funny and Donald's irritable, persistent personality mixes well with the hijinks.
