A few of the politically incorrect ideas were the characters that were based on racial stereotypes or even the nonchalant nature of guns and the unhesitant use of violence. A few notable episodes that are singled out for these reasons are “Clown of the Jungle” where Donald tries to take a relaxing vacation in the jungle (imagery of suicide), “Three For Breakfast” where Chip and Dale steal Donald’s pancakes (an Asian stereotype is used, plus Donald cooking the two chipmunks in a toaster), “Tea For Two Hundred” where Donald tries to bully a colony of ants (the ants represent either African tribes or Native Americans), “Donald’s Happy Birthday” where Donald’s nephews try to get their money from the bank that Donald holds (smoking), and “Beet At The Beach” where Donald is taught a lesson by his bee friend (to tell you the truth I don’t see a big problem in this one).

For the most part, I deplore censorship. While I do sympathize with parents who don’t want their kids learning such ideas from cartoons, I don’t sympathize with parents who immediately take offense with anything they deem unsuitable without 1) watching it themselves, 2) watching it with their kids, and 3) thinking that television is a bigger influence on their kids than they are (or should be). The kids who watched these old cartoons turned into your parents and grandparents, and logically you could only object to these cartoons nowadays if you thought they didn’t turn out so well.

Included on the two-disc DVD is the featurette “The Many Faces of Donald Duck” about how and why Donald Duck was and still is Disney’s biggest character. Walt Disney himself once said Donald was “the Gable of our stable.” I had no idea that Donald actually appeared in more feature films than Mickey. Also in the featurette is Leonard Maltin interviewing animator and current voice of Donald, Tony Anselmo.

Another featurette is “Sculpting Donald” in which Leonard Maltin interviews sculptor Ruben Procopio about the process of making the 2-D Donald into a 3-D Donald. Ruben is very comprehensive and informative on the different methods he uses to capture the many dimensions of a real duck within the many facets of Donald.

This is a great comprehensive look at another stage in Donald’s life, featuring many cartoons of the famous duck with his most hated nemeses. You can watch Donald get himself into the most ridiculous situations, while also seeing him enter and exit the mouths of many dangerous animals and continuing to make many, many people laugh.
