This is a fun outing with Donald Duck and his three nephews - Huey, Dewey and Louie. I have to digress here a second and mention something I noticed when I first learned to read. The first time I picked up a Disney Comic book, it struck me that even though they sounded similar, the names Huey, Dewey and Louie were all spelled differently. That just amazed the heck out of me for reasons I can't explain even today. Of course as one grows older, all types of spelling inconsistencies pop up in the English language, and this winds up being a trivial one.

Anyway, this is a colorful eight minute adventure set on the high seas, with Admiral Donald leading his troops just long enough until his boat is smashed to smithereens. For what it's worth, I thought the animators made a wise decision by coloring the shark green instead of blue or gray, that was just the contrast needed to make the story a more colorful one. I couldn't believe it though when Donald prevailed by punching him out! Where was he when they needed him on the set of "Jaws"?
