It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Another funny Donald Duck from Walt Disney, where Donald tries to capitalize on the rising value of eggs by storing as much eggs as he could find from a nearby chicken coop. However, a rooster won't let him have them.It's classic Donald fun and comedy as he tries to outsmart the freaky rooster by disguising himself as a hen to lure him away from the chicken coop and eggs. Plenty of back and forth tangling and misses; the scenes with the caterpillar contributed to the laughs. Donald almost had the last laugh as well, but couldn't escape his his "get stuck with all the bad luck" persona.Grade B

Golden Eggs (1941) *** (out of 4)The price of eggs are going through the roof so Donald decides to try and make some money. He goes to a chicken coop to pick some eggs but he's caught by the rooster security guard. The rest of the short has Donald trying to get to the eggs.This isn't the greatest Disney short ever produced but it certainly contains enough good moments to make it worth watching. The highlight is certainly an early scene where Donald is working his magic to try and get the chickens to lay more eggs. The production of this scene was quite funny. T he rest of the short basically has Donald dressed up as a rooster and trying to fool the guard. Again, there's nothing great about this short but it's entertaining.

Clarence Nash & Florence Gill had never sounded SO good like in this Donald Duck cartoon. In this cartoon, Donald has read in the paper that the price of eggs "sky-rocket" to 85 cents a dozen. Sure it might not much today, but I it must have been a lot back then. So he decide to harvest eggs from the hen-house for profit. But not when a protective rooster's on watch. So Donald tries disguising himself as a hen.I love this cartoon, it is one of my favorite Donald shorts from 1941. I love it when Donald flips the record from slow "Lazy Daze" music to "Hot Stuff" jitter-bug music to speed up production (with eggs 85 cents). And also when he first encounters the rooster while zipping back and forth putting eggs in the basket. It is also funny to see Donald as a hen, and it's amazing that Clarence "Ducky" Nash could cluck like a chicken in his Donald voice.Donald is the first duck to be masquerading in the guise of a chicken, because it was also done in a Daffy Duck cartoon "You were never Duckier", but in a different situation.

Donald Duck is reading the paper and finds out that he gets 85 cents per a dozen of eggs. He goes to the chickens and collects as many eggs as he can carry but the rooster gets a little mad. To find his way to the eggs without getting caught by the rooster Donald dresses up like a chicken. The rooster falls instantly in love with Donald and some nice sequences follow.A pretty funny short, especially after Donald has dressed up as a chicken. Although some of the jokes are pretty predictable they will make you smile. Worth a watch.
