Review of Bee at the Beach

To get back at Donald for some light bullying, Spike the Bee sadistically and gleefully attempts to brutally murder him by enticing six ravenous sharks to eat him alive. Donald is actually completely ingested by one of the sharks on one occasion and finds himself nearly torn to ribbons by their teeth on multiple others. Worst of all the ending has Donald being chased by the sharks toward the horizon - away from the safety of the beach. So the bee's murder attempt might have ultimately been successful. Are we supposed to think Spike is the protagonist? That Donald had such a cruel fate coming for picking on the little guy? I hate cartoons like this that end with Donald in imminent mortal peril; I think it's fair enough to show him narrowly escaping the predicament caused by his bad temperament having presumably learned his lesson for the time being.
