Yet another short where the title doesn’t match the content.
This short makes plain that this isn’t Donald’s dilemma it’s
Daisy’s. She is the one describing the
problem of Donald being taken away from her after getting hit on the head by a
flower pot and thinking he is a great singer, and suddenly he is too. She is the one hurt by his absence Donald
doesn’t care about her with his new personality. She is the one given the choice about giving up
Donald to the world or keeping him for herself, although her outburst of “me,
me, me!” is great.
Okay so the title has nothing to do with the content, but
how about the content itself? It’s
okay. Nothing is horrible, expect when
Daisy goes crazy and starts chewing on her own arm, man classic Disney got away
with a tom of creepy imagery, nothing is really stand out amazing either. I like Donald singing ‘When you Wish Upon a
Star’ it sounds really good, and no doubt saved them tons on royalties. I like Daisy’s attempts as getting in the
stage door, and that she gets so good at getting kicked out she knows where to
put the pillow when Donald gets kicked out after she drops another flower pot on
his head. The rest of the short though
doesn’t have a lot of energy to it, it seems.
Daisy mops about losing Donald there are some flashes of him on advertising
and marquee signs. She waits through the
summer and winter at the stage door, but outside of sticking snow on the scene
nothing else changes, not even the night lighting. It just feels empty and mundane. Maybe if there had been more variety in Daisy
waiting by the back door, and maybe if Donald had sung one other song it would have
added some spice to the short. As it is
it’s okay, but very forgettable.
