It ain't her you're looking for, Donald

If you take a look at the people who made this 6.5-minute cartoon "Crazy Over Daisy", you will find many names that were enjoying prolific and successful careers long before and after this movie. Lets just mention the name of Donald Duck voice actor Clarence Nash here and if you know a bit about cartoons and the Golden Age of Animation, then I'm sure you know what I mean. This little movie here had its 65th anniversary already, so it is really very old. And while I like many Disney works, I must say that this one here has not aged too well. Donald is on his bike paying Daisy a visit when he is made fun of by Chip and Dale. Not willing to take the mocking, he catches them (yep he does it this time) and gets them inside the wheels of his bike. When he arrives at Daisy, she does not like at all what she sees and accuses Donald of violence against these little (in her eyes) harmless animals. I had some problems with this short color cartoon. First of all what is up with the ducks' hair, even if that was just a minor issue. Donald looked like Scrooge here. And also story-wise, it frequently did not make that much sense really, to a degree where this being a cartoon is no longer explanation enough. Plus, are there any likable characters in here at all? Donsld may come the closest. Overall, I would say the wit, creativity and entertainment factor are all not on a level here where I would recommend checking it out. The main theme was okay, but that isn't enough. This was way below Disney's best, even if we are only looking at short cartoons. Thumbs down.
