Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Donald takes on a follow-the-leader role as he takes his scout troop - Huey, Duey and Louie - to a hike in the woods.As bad luck will have it, Donald not-so-expertise in the woods lands him in a hilarious tussle with a bear. His nephews doesn't really help much as they bandage him so thoroughly from a stumble that he can't see bear. Donald takes the brunt of the bad luck.This cartoon has its funny moments with great animation and colorful characters. But it doesn't show much teamwork between Donald and his nephews. There are better ones featuring Donald and his nephews out there.Grade C+

While not the best Donald Duck cartoon, it is a well drawn and funny one at that. Once again, Donald is the butt of his nephews's mischievous antics, and not only that he does everything here badly! Donald is as cantankerous and as volatile as ever, and his nephews are cute and mischievous, not to mention funny. The animation is excellent here, with crisp backgrounds and nice colouring. The character features mayn't always be as great as it could have been, but oh well. The music is lively and fun, and the voice acting from Clarence Nash is stellar. The gags are funny, especially the end one, that had me in stitches.Overall, not the best but great fun at that. 9/10 Bethany Cox

A Walt Disney DONALD DUCK Cartoon.Huey, Dewey & Louie are all GOOD SCOUTS, but their Uncle Donald is about to reveal the full range of his incompetence as Scoutmaster while leading them on a camping trip.Donald's Nephews made their second cartoon appearance in this very humorous, finely animated little film. The Disney artists were beginning to see definite possibilities with the little fowls - their mischievous behavior being a good catalyst for Donald's volatility. The story was written by the legendary Carl Barks; Clarence Nash provides the voices for the entire Duck clan.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by pictures & drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew comic figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials anMouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovatordWhen a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey , his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. 's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work will always pay off.

In this short, nominated for an Oscar, Donald is the Scout leader of a troop consisting of his nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louey. As is typically the case, Donld is affable, good-natured, even-tempered and thoroughly prepared. Cartoondom's most prominent case of coronary thrombosis in waiting, its' poster child for hypertension, is in rare form. The boys are better equipped than he is for what happens on their hike. The end of the short is hilarious. This runs from time to time on The Ink and Paint Club and is well worth watching.
