Admiral Byrd ships Donald a penguin from the South Pole. Donald is amused by it, until he thinks it has eaten his goldfish. It hasn't - yet - so Donald gets a fish from the fridge to make amends. When he comes back, though, he's got a reason to be upset with the penguin.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Oh, boy! It is goes without saying that this cartoon was pretty creative and warm, Donald and the penguin Tootsie doubtlessly have some conflicts, like the goldfish problems, really, Donald even try to kill the penguin with his long gun, until Donald's conscience hurt and decided to stop that move, which happened to the gun fall down and shoot the back of the house, Donald seen full of regretness and want to cry with no tears, and when the penguin reappeared, and a fully relieved and hysterical Donald hugged his lovable penguin and the final scene seen pretty touched and harmony.Overall, it's pretty funny with gags and stuff, pretty well and touched.Oh!

Donald's Penguin (1939) ** 1/2 (out of 4)Donald receives a package, which happens to be a penguin named Tootsie. Soon Donald is trying to teach him a few things but when he thinks the penguin has eaten his goldfish things turn bad.DONALD'S PENGUIN isn't the greatest Disney short ever produced and it's not even one of the best from the Donald series. If you're a fan of Donald then I'm sure you'll still want to check it out but there's really nothing too special on display here. The highlight is certainly Donald's reaction to thinking his goldfish have been eaten. As you'd expect the animation itself is quite good but there just aren't enough laughs or action to keep the film more entertaining.

Ah, how much I love this cartoon. It is funny and cute if anything. Donald's Penguin also is lovingly animated, with detailed and colourful backgrounds and crisp character features. The music is as is the case with these Disney cartoons is excellent, the scripting is funny and there are some interesting sight gags such as the goldfish disappearing suddenly. The characters featured are engaging, Donald, superlatively voiced by Clarence "Ducky" Nash, is as cantankerous as ever. But in a rare case, he is almost upstaged by none other than Tootsie, who is one of the most adorable penguins I have seen in anything to do with animation. Also some lively chemistry between Donald and Tootsie and a simple but effective story.Overall, sweet and entertaining! 10/10 Bethany Cox

Though, let's face it, it would probably be not as cute as the one in this cartoon. For some reason a pal of Donalds sends him a penguin as a present out of the blue. Donald doesn't quite know what it is (despite hunting them in The Polar Trappers cartoon) or how to work it. He freaks when he sees that the penguin, called Tootsy, has eaten his goldfish but apologises when it turns out he didn't. So to make Tootsy feel better Donald gives him a fish from the refrigerator. Which means that Donald has fish for pets and for dinner. A bit odd.So annoyed is Donald by his inability to care for Tootsy that he tries to execute him but ends up only loving more. Still, it's a funny cartoon and it's good to see Donald making pals.
