Donald's Nephews

Yes, it's true! The cartoons of today are lacking the quality wich is found in the old cartoons; 1930-1960.

This cartoons differs from the regulars; this is the one where Huey, Dewey & Louie are introduced. And what little rascals they are!

Donald Duck's sister Dumbella sends her three sons, Huey, Dewey and Louie to visit their uncle Donald.A bad mistake.These three little rascals cause a disaster in the house with their tricycles.Donald isn't getting any help from the little book "Modern Child Training".He tries music, he tries sympathy...But instead of angels these boys turn out to be little demons.Donald's Nephews from 1938 is the first film we get to see Huey, Dewey and Louie.The legendary Clarence Nash provides the voice for Donald and the nephews.Alongside Jack Hannah the other of the writers was the true Duck Master Carl Barks.No wonder this story works so good.It's very funny to watch Donald lose his temper.The scene where the boys give Donald a pie filled with very hot mustard...Hilarious.Cartoons today don't have that what the old ones did.They lack in providing laughter and amusement.This 8 minutes of pure fun sure made this boy laugh.

This Disney cartoon features the first appearance of Donald Duck's nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie - sons of Donald's sister, Dumbella. As they're little kids, they prove to be rowdy and troublemakers, almost too much for Donald to handle.

There isn't much chemistry or family bonding between the uncle and nephews, just the kids playing mean tricks on their uncle, which doesn't make them very likable. It is neat, though, hearing Clarence Nash provide the voices for all the characters, and him making Donald lose his temper is just classic and funny.

The story line could have been better, as the nephews didn't have much redeeming qualities. As least Donald tried to read a self-help book to learn how to deal with children!

Grade C-

While enjoying a calm, stress-free day, Donald is sent a postcard from his sister Dumbella, saying that her sons Huey, Duey and Louie will be coming to stay for a while. Now these are not the well behaved kids from Duck Tales that you might be used to. No, they are little rapscallions who proceed to do nothing but lay waste to Donald's house.

Donald desperately tries to keep them under control and even consults a child psychiatry book in a futile attempt to maintain order. It doesn't work and only inspires them to torment him further.

This cartoon is proof that Donald's sole purpose in his existence is to live it in a state of perpetual rage.

This is a simply wonderful cartoon which is evidence of why I love Donald Duck so much. In a one man show, Clarence Nash impeccably voices our favourite cantankerous quack and all three nephews. The cartoon has a good story, fine animation and brilliant music, as is to be expected from a standard Disney cartoon.

Huey, Duey and Louey are not only funny but are very cute as well. Not to mention naughty. There are many funny moments in this cartoon, especially when Donald and his nephews play Pop Goes The Weasel on their instruments, and the nephews play constant tricks on Donald. Also Donald is always seen reading his rule book, my favourite being "after all, little children are only angels without wings". All in all, funny, engaging and wonderful. 10/10 Bethany Cox
