ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

OllieSuave-007 Donald Duck adopts a baby kangaroo, which turns out to be more than he could handle. He's disobedient, makes faces, and too hyper. Donald tries his best to take care of him while answering phone calls from the lady at the adoption center, reminding Donald of what to do to take care of the kangaroo. That was actually the funniest part in the short, while the rest is just chaotic stuff concentrated on the annoying creature.Grade D+

TheLittleSongbird I have always loved Donald Duck and his cartoons, and I have always had a lot of affection for Daddy Duck. I always did wonder though after the phone call how Joey got in the corner in the first place and why he was so mad at Donald(maybe it was related to the jam and that Joey didn't like being told off), perhaps there could have been an additional scene to explain it. However, the animation consists of well drawn characters, fluid backgrounds and vibrant colours, and the music makes for very pleasant and characterful listening. The story is simple but never dull, and of the gags that consist of Joey eating jam, Joey seeing Donald's pouch and pouncing in it and Donald persuading Joey to take a bath, my favourite was always the one where Donald slips into the bear rug and fools Joey into thinking the bear rug is actually real. The two characters are really great together, Donald still has his easily frustrated side while showing a paternal one also, which I loved. While Joey is incredibly cute and spunky, I love how bravely he acts during the bear hug gag and his facial expressions when Donald tuts at him for eating the jam. Overall, a really cute and humorous cartoon, makes me question why we never saw more of Joey. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Ron Oliver A Walt Disney DONALD DUCK Cartoon.For some unfathomable reason, Donald yearns to become a DADDY DUCK and adopts Joey, an unruly baby kangaroo.This is a fun, but completely unremarkable, little film. Although cute & full of spunk, young Joey would not appear in any other Disney cartoon. Clarence "Ducky" Nash gives voice to Donald.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Bambi, Peter Pan and Mr. Toad. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
