Timber (1941)
9/10
Much fun to be had with this cartoon!
26 June 2012
As I've said many times already I love Disney and always have done. Timber is not one of my absolute favourites, cartoons like the Riveter(of which Timber is somewhat similar to) are perhaps more original story-wise, but I still love it regardless. The animation is great, with vibrant colours and fluid backgrounds, while the music is very energetic, doing much to enhance the action. Both Donald and Pete(known as Pierre here) are a lot of fun here, Pete/Pierre is a great foil, rapacious and commanding, and he and Donald work wonderfully together. And Donald is in his element, just by being him, no matter how frustrated he gets you always root for him. Both characters are impeccably voiced as ever by Clarence Nash and Billy Bletcher. The gags also really bring Timber alive, I especially loved the parts with Donald with the saw(which has a mind of its own I swear!), Donald cutting down the tree and the chase sequence at the end. All in all, recommended highly, very funny and beautifully animated. 9/10 Bethany Cox
