Chef Donald

In this cartoon Donald tries his hand at some baking. A radio cookery show is own and the female host is instructing listeners on how to make their very own waffles covered in butter and maple syrup. Feeling hungry, Donald decides to join in. And he does well enough until, in a moment of distraction, he adds rubber cement to the mix instead of baking powder.

Now he's created some kind of flubber substance with enough elasticity to cause no end of havoc in the kitchen. The gags are mostly quite simple but there's enough invention in some of the havoc to make it an above average Donald cartoon.

This is one the Donald Duck's cartoons which I have very fond memories from childhood. At the time, it was one of the cartoons I used to watch with more frequency. This is a great cartoon. It's very simple and predictable yet lacks in nothing. It does its duty quite well: to make people laugh and amuse them.

This is one of Donald's most hilarious cartoons. It is hysterical! Donald gets mad all the time, which is classic him. He listens to a radio cooking program while mixing up a batch of waffles. However, he ends up using rubber cement instead of baking powder in a moment of distraction, but he never realizes why is it going all wrong for him.

The funniest and craziest things happen to the duck and at the end, when they ask over the radio if he enjoyed his recipe and wished to hear about it, Donald runs to the radio station and... well, what happens is hysterical. We hear Donald getting mad and the radio shakes over and over.

One of my favourite Donald Duck cartoons of all time. The story is simple and a tad predictable, but it is well paced and the simplicity works. Plus the gags are so inventive and so well-timed and the dialogue(ie. Old Mother Mallard's instructions) so effective that any predictability in the story were soon overcome. Donald himself is great, angry and manic which is indeed classic of him but he is very funny too. The animation is colourful and vibrant, and as usual the music has a lot of energy to it. Old Mother Mallard(aptly named) is a hoot too, as is the ending.

Overall, simply delicious, not only is it funny, but it has inspired me to further improve my cooking. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Donald Duck is listening to a radio cooking program when he hears a recipe for waffles. In his excitement he is using rubber cement instead of baking powder. Although there are some funny moments this Disney short is a little too predictable. Still nice. 7/10.

In this installment of the Donald Duck series, Donald is at home listening to the radio. When the host begins giving a recipe for homemade waffles, Donald follows along...with less than spectacular results. Why? Because instead of adding baking powder, the knucklehead adds rubber cement and all sorts of hilarity results. And, as you'd expect from Donald, this just leaves him angry and searching for someone onto which to vent his anger.

While the plot to this short is simple, it works great for two main reasons. First, the animatio quality is top notch. Second, it's quite funy and manages to make the most of a simple situation. It also didn't hurt that it ended quite well! Worth your time....and currently on Disney+.
