Donald's Cousin Gus

This Donald Duck cartoon starts with cousin Gus Goose who is visiting Donald Duck. Donald has no idea who he is, but after a note from his aunt he lets the goose inside his house. The note said that Gus does not each much, but as soon as he is in he starts eating all of Donald's food. Gus drives Donald crazy and of course he tries to get rid of the goose.

The first minute is pretty nice with some good gags and a well animated sequence where Gus is eating everything. But after that it is too much of the same. After a couple of minutes I wanted this cartoon to end. Not a good thing for a Disney cartoon; I normally enjoy them very much.

In this cartoon an ungainly and annoying goose called Gus turns up at Donald's house with a note from Aunt Fanny (?) claiming that he is his cousin and is here for a visit. The note also says he doesn't eat much, which turns out to be a total lie since Gus proceeds to eat Donald out of house and home and turn an otherwise peaceful, non-stressful day for Donald into bedlam.

Gus is an annoying character but thankfully he doesn't say much and only ever makes a honking sound when he wants attention, which he does by squeezing his ass! Much like Donald, I hope to never see Gus again. And this cartoon ain't that great I'm afraid.

I have seen this Donald Duck cartoon and I was very disappointed in this cartoon. Donald Duck is about to have lunch when his cousin Gus stops by for a visit.

It made me mad that Cousin Gus just rudely stole the food including corn, peas, loaf of bread and ate the entire cake and he didn't even share with Donald Duck, Donald Duck tried to get him out of the house with a magic sausage but it didn't work and he even broke into Donald's refrigerator to eat more and leave nothing left for Donald Duck.

I'm very disappointed in this cartoon. His cousin Gus owes Donald Duck an apology for stealing his food without permission. I didn't like the portrayal of a gluttony character with an eating disorder, this episode made me sick to watch, I'm surprised Cousin Gus didn't throw up because this episode made me literally want to throw up. There should be a sequel where Cousin Gus has to pay back Donald Duck for the food he rudely stole from him.

This is one of the worst Disney cartoons I've ever seen and I would like to forget this Donald Duck episode ever existed. I sure hope this cartoon short doesn't end up on Disney Plus, oh wait it's in the Disneyland episode "The Plausible Impossible" by Walt Disney which is painful to watch. Do yourself a favor and fast forward this cartoon short scene and skip it, it isn't worth your time. But everything else in that episode is worth watching.

This Donald Duck episode deserves a Razzie Award for worst cartoon short ever.

A Walt Disney DONALD DUCK Cartoon.

DONALD'S COUSIN GUS Goose arrives with his inexhaustible appetite & bottomless maw.

The Donald finally meets his match in this very funny & well-made cartoon. Clarence `Ducky' Nash supplies Donald's voice. Gus did not prove popular enough with viewers to justify his return as a featured player in further films; when last heard from he was operating a tiny seafood restaurant in Redondo Beach, California.

Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by 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 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 and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, 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. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey'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, Bambi, Peter Pan and Mr. Toad. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.

This cartoon remarkly marked the debut of Cousin Gus, which the only Duck family's members which appeared on Disney animated shorts so early.

On my word, Gus should be OUT for sure, let alone violent-tempered Donald, I truly wondered why did the note was wrote" He doesn't eat much". This could really be a cheater, and when Gus rudely devoured Donald's dishes, like bananas, peas, and even sucked Donald's coffee by the loaf of bread!

Besides the cartoon was being funny, I guess this kind of relative in reality should be kicked out for sure! But Donald can't stop Gus, so poor Donald!

Ranted 8/10.
