Don Donald (1937)
8/10
Donald's Date Disaster
6 June 2004
Donald plays some sort of traveling Banjo player who comes into (an apparently Mexican) town on a pitiful, lazy, dying Donkey and tries to serenade the lovely Daisy Duck (called Donna in this short). She's not too impressed with his wooing skills and quickly becomes bored with him.

Desperate not to lose her attention Donald trades his worthless mule in for a car (these were new-ish creations back in the 30s). Daisy is interested once more and they go out for a ride.

Well, Donald is no boy racer that's for sure. Following Daisy's orders, Donald pushes the car to its limit on the rough desert terrain and it's not belong before it falls apart and fights back against its enraged owner.

Another perfect example of the highly irritable duck being pushed to the point of a nervous-breakdown. Which, when you think about it, is quite cruel entertainment.
