Donalds Schneeballschlacht

As a fan of Donald Duck, I would easily put this as my favorite Donald short/film. The short was able to capture the iconic personality of Donald, creating a humorous exchange between him and his nephews. Several of the scenes from "Donald's Snow Fight" will make you laugh even if you've seen it 100 times before. Between the snowball fight and Donald's sled, this short is well worth the watch!

This is another funny Donald vs. Nephews cartoon where they engage in a snowball fight, warfare style, after Donald destroys his nephews' snowman.

From Donald's ice ship to Huey, Duey and Louie's ice fort, it's one hilarious snowball war you've ever seen. Donald looked like he gets the upper hand at first, tossing snowballs to his nephews like they were bowling pins, but, he soon gets more than he bargained for when the trio pelts him with mouse traps and melts his ship. Then, they dance around humming a mysterious native tune, holding around bow and arrows.

I hate seeing Donald always losing out in the end, but he did start the fight, and this was one of the funniest Donald vs. Nephews cartoons I've seen.

Grade B+

Donald's Snow Fight (1942)

**** (out of 4)

Terrific short has Donald going out to have some fun in the snow when he notices Huey, Dewey and Louie building a snowman. Always the trouble maker, Donald knocks down the snowman and it's an all out battle between the two sides. DONALD'S SNOW FIGHT has been entertaining people for over six decades now and you have to say that it will continue doing so. This is without question one of the best animated shorts ever made. Not only do you get several very funny moments but what really stuck out to me this time is how imaginative the animation is. There's one scene where Donald knocks the three down and they turn into bowling pins so he grabs a snowball and turns it into a bowling ball. There's another scene where the boys shoot some fire arrows at the place Donald is staying and it melts the snow down into a skull-like shape. Of course, there's plenty of hilarious moments as the 7-minutes are action packed with one great sequence after another. There's a certain pleasure that comes from watching this older Disney shorts and by viewing this one it's clear that they were at the top of their game.

In 'Donald's Snow Fight' it has snowed and Donald decides to go sledding. His nephews are already outside making a snowman. Donald wants to have a little fun and destroys the snowman. Of course the nephews want their revenge. A cold war, literally, is what we get to see. The nephews make their own castle, Donald a war ship.

This must be one of the best Donald Duck-cartoons, or Disney-cartoons in general, that I have seen. It is funny from start to finish and the terrible things the nephews and Donald do to each other are perfect for a cartoon. With many good gags, many great laughs, it is hard to find a better Disney-cartoon!

This is another classic Walt Disney cartoon, this time starring Donald Duck and his nephews-Huey, Dewey, and Louie, that I first saw on "The Wonderful World of Disney" on Christmas Day in 1977 in the all-animated episode "From All of Us to All of You". Here with the first day of snow, the duck in the sailor suit puts on his overcoat and slides down hill on his sled wreaking his nephews' snowman on the way. Those boys wow revenge by having their next one looking like their uncle which gives Donald a big surprise when he knocks it down! Two of my favorite gags here comes when the big duck becomes a rhinoceros when snow falls on him and when the nephews become bowling pins which the uncle knocks down with a snow bowling ball. Quite as hilarious then as now with Donald, as always, getting his comeuppance. So for that, I highly recommend Donald's Snow Fight.
