Invenções Modernas

I really liked this cartoon, it is inventive and very funny. The animation is nice and colourful, though the character animation of the robots was a little stiff. And the cartoon does start off a little slow. The music is top notch, very playful and pleasant. Donald is as cantankerous as ever, especially when voiced by Clarence "Ducky" Nash, who captures the character perfectly.

On the whole, the cartoon is very funny, from the ongoing joke about the robot(voiced by Billy Bletcher, original voice of Pete) taking Donald's hats, to the part when Donald disguises himself as a baby and gets more than he bargained for. Modern Inventions is an inventive and fun cartoon, and for fans of the cantankerous quack, this is definitely worth the watch. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Donald Duck visits a modern inventions museum, where he runs into a wide range of unique machines, including a robotic butler, an automatic baby carriage and a mechanized barber and shoe-shiner. However, Donald realized that he has gotten more than he bargained for in visiting the place when the butler starts taking every hat Donald wears, the baby carriage feeds Donald too much milk and the barber doesn't quite cut Donald's hair like it was supposed to. Donald doesn't quite following directions like the "do not touch" signs at the museum and the butler taking every single hat he has hidden in his clothes; he would stick he should leave his hat off while inside the museum.

This cartoon consists of classic Donald humor, from his quacky voice to his frustrated innuendos. It's just funny seeing everything going wrong for him at the museum as the resulting mishaps pile on one after the other.

It's obvious that Donald is prone to bad luck, but they are just hilariously portrayed here!

Grade A-

Watched this recently after so many years! Still makes me laugh!

Donald Duck is one of my favourites of the classic Disney characters with his short temper and funny voice. And seeing him entering this museum of modern inventions is a whole lot of fun.

He is welcomed by this robot butler who asks him for his hat, but Donals just puts on a new one. That's a hilarious running gag through the short. How Donald ends up in trouble when he interacts with the inventions in the museum is just as funny as you can think.

Love this Donald Duck short. Good laugh every time.

We might interpret Disney's "Modern Inventions" as society's idea of what the future would be. Back in the '30s, people were probably hoping for a future of conveniences, continuously reducing our physical exertion. Obviously some of the novelties that did come about in the ensuing decades were nothing like those depicted in the cartoon; I doubt that the average person in 1937 could've envisioned artificial intelligence, let alone a handheld device that can access all the world knowledge.

I'm probably over-analyzing. It's an OK cartoon. I've always preferred the Looney Tunes over the Disney cartoons.

In this 9-minute cartoon, Donald enters a museum exhibiting the latest inventions, such as robot butlers, robot hitchhikers, robot nannies, robot barber chairs...basically all robot stuff. And still, 70 years later, we have no robots. Weird.

Anyway, Donald, being as irritable as he is, quickly becomes angered by the inventions and ends up getting slapped around and tormented in the usual ways. It serves him right for scamming himself into the museum for free. It's funny without being thigh-slappingly hilarious. And some of the robots will probably remind you of Bender and his pals from Futurama.
