Donald's Crime

I generally spend my time waiting for Donald to get his well deserved comeuppance in most of his cartoons. This one, nominated for an Oscar, is one of the few times Donald even comes close to being a sympathetic character. Oh, Donald is his usual considerate, affable self, alright, but at a point in the cartoon toward the end, he actually becomes a bit more likable ad I almost felt sorry for him at times (almost). Very well done. This is shown from time to time on the Ink and Paint Club. Recommended.

Donald Duck stars in this animated short film that lacks a solid plot and is aimed more at parodying the neo-noir cinema of the time. The animation is something that always delivers what is promised in this type of short film and it must be recognized that the references to film noir are quite good and compensates for the lack of plot with a visual appeal in the references in which it seems that Donald is having a nightmare caused by that voice that talks to him constantly. That gives a feeling of something out of Hitchcock. The only thing that can be said about this short film is that it is fun to watch and is only fascinating for its noir references without offering much. My final rating for this short film is a 7/10.

Despite the other reviews I find this short lesser and little funny.You have to wait till the end to smile.I believe that was one of Don's failures.

Donald is on his way to commiting crimes, Daisy and Donald was having a date, however, Donald was broke, he decided to steal his nephews' money to spent the splendid night.

The whole process was tiring and nervous, since Donald's evil conscience egged on him.

It's pretty creepy after Donald recevied a wonderful kiss from Daisy, being called "big shot", his conscience reminded and tackled him, he felt like he is going to jail and was wanted. But in the end, even though he raised enough money to made amends about his nephews' money, his nephews' spotted him, too. So. as conscience said"You see, chum? Crimes doens't pay."

I wonder what will happen to Donald soon.

Donald has a date with Daisy. But he has no money. So there are his industrious nephews, who have saved their allowances in a piggy bank. First we have the back and forth of whether to break the bank. Then when the deed is done, the incredible guilt. Donald is only human (ha ha). He does show some admirable traits in the end, but he does pay a price.
