The Village Smithy

It seems Donald Duck got more than his share of bad luck in this cartoon short, where he tries to install a new iron rim on a wagon wheel and put a shoe on the donkey.

While Donald exhibited his classic slapstick comedy when bad luck strikes his way, the resistance of the donkey reminded me too much of a spoiled, childish brat who would not heed to discipline.

It's a cartoon that kids would probably enjoy, but for me, Donald had to deal with too much bad luck and an excruciatingly annoying animal. The animation was also a little on the dull side, in my humble opinion. There are lots more funny Donald cartoons than this.
