Don Donald (1937)

chaoticretrodisaster-prone

Overview

AnimationComedyRomance

Donald is courting Daisy (called Donna, here in her first appearance) Duck in Mexico. He arrives on a burro, which doesn't get along at all well with her; she convinces him to buy a car. They head through the desert, but the car breaks down, and throws Donald out, then takes off on its own with Daisy trapped inside the rumble seat. The car hits a rock, throwing Daisy into a mud puddle, to Donald's excessive amusement. Daisy pulls a unicycle from her purse, and rides off.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Donna Duck was Daisy's prototype — same design, different name, equally done with Donald's nonsense.

Cultural

The 'Mexico' setting is pure exoticism tourism; 1930s Hollywood loved a south-of-the-border backdrop for comedy chaos.
