    Conflict between a duck and a penguin, but seen touched in the end...

    Oh, boy! It is goes without saying that this cartoon was pretty creative and warm, Donald and the penguin Tootsie doubtlessly have some conflicts, like the goldfish problems, really, Donald even try to kill the penguin with his long gun, until Donald's conscience hurt and decided to stop that move, which happened to the gun fall down and shoot the back of the house, Donald seen full of regretness and want to cry with no tears, and when the penguin reappeared, and a fully relieved and hysterical Donald hugged his lovable penguin and the final scene seen pretty touched and harmony.

    Overall, it's pretty funny with gags and stuff, pretty well and touched.

    Oh!

    Both cute and funny at the same time

    Donald Duck is one of my favorite Disney characters, and this is one of my favorite shorts from the 1930s era of Donald's cartoon career. In this concise narrative, Donald acquires a penguin from a package. I have procured the DVD edition of "The Chronological Donald Duck #1," which contains the specified short. Like most theatrical shorts I've watched, it's both cute and funny at the same time.

    The funny part is when Tootsie, the penguin, wakes up with a start and slaps Donald in the face. I also love it when Donald turns around and the fish disappear suddenly. The sweet part is when Donald just couldn't shoot Tootsie for eating the fish. When Tootsie was thought to have been shot, Donald scrambled around looking for her as the gun blew up the wall. In the closet, she had concealed herself, and Donald's discovery forgave her past transgressions.

    Tootsie!!!

    Ah, how much I love this cartoon. It is funny and cute if anything. Donald's Penguin also is lovingly animated, with detailed and colourful backgrounds and crisp character features. The music is as is the case with these Disney cartoons is excellent, the scripting is funny and there are some interesting sight gags such as the goldfish disappearing suddenly. The characters featured are engaging, Donald, superlatively voiced by Clarence "Ducky" Nash, is as cantankerous as ever. But in a rare case, he is almost upstaged by none other than Tootsie, who is one of the most adorable penguins I have seen in anything to do with animation. Also some lively chemistry between Donald and Tootsie and a simple but effective story.

    Overall, sweet and entertaining! 10/10 Bethany Cox

    One of my least favorite Donald cartoons.

    In this Disney short, Admiral Byrd ships Donald Duck a penguin from the South Pole. Donald takes the penguin as his pet, but gets angry with it when he thinks it has eaten his goldfish.

    It could have been all-around adorable cartoon, but the penguin acting as a stuck-up animal at first and eating Donald's goldfish was cause for it to have no redeeming qualities. Donald wasn't even very funny in this one and, save from the nice animation, this is one of my least favorite Donald cartoons.

    To me, you wouldn't get a good laugh with this cartoon. It might be cute for others, but overall, it wasn't entertaining.

    Decent Donald Short

    Donald's Penguin (1939)

    ** 1/2 (out of 4)

    Donald receives a package, which happens to be a penguin named Tootsie. Soon Donald is trying to teach him a few things but when he thinks the penguin has eaten his goldfish things turn bad.

    DONALD'S PENGUIN isn't the greatest Disney short ever produced and it's not even one of the best from the Donald series. If you're a fan of Donald then I'm sure you'll still want to check it out but there's really nothing too special on display here. The highlight is certainly Donald's reaction to thinking his goldfish have been eaten. As you'd expect the animation itself is quite good but there just aren't enough laughs or action to keep the film more entertaining.

    • Trivia
      The name of the Admiral that sends Donald the penguin is spelled as Bird, not Byrd. An intentional gag, as the Disney people didn't make typo mistakes very often.
