Donald and the Cub

Dumb Bell of the Yukon (1946)

*** (out of 4)

I'm sure you can but Donald is the dumb bell the title refers to. Basically he decides to steal a bear cub from its mother but his plans for it don't go as he expected.

If you're a fan of Disney shorts then you'll certainly find this one entertaining as it contains some pretty good laughs as well as some nice action throughout. It "product of its time" humor is also on full display and especially when you consider one of the jokes deals with how to kill the cub and we get a hanging sequence. This sequence is actually quite funny as Donald takes a beating for his effort. Another highlight happens towards the end when mommy bear shows up and Donald must pretend that he's the cub.
