Good Scouts Trailers

Donald is leading a scout troop consisting of his nephews on a hike in the woods. Donald isn't nearly the expert on the woods that he thinks he is, much to the amusement of the boys. In a bid for sympathy, he douses himself in catsup and fakes injury; the boys bandage him so thoroughly he can't see, and he stumbles into a pot of honey, and is soon getting all too much attention from a bear.

Why so much hype?

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Or alternatively camping chaos. "Good Scouts" is an Oscar--nominated Disney cartoon from 1938, so this one will have its 80th anniversary next year and it is one of the works from the Golden Age of Animation. It came out briefly before the beginning of the World War II and if you need evidence of how much everybody loved Disney at that time, then a look at the Cartoon Category at the 1939 Oscars is enough. 4 out of 5 (including the winner) nominees were by Disney. This one here has everybody's favorite duck Donald go hiking with the nephews. I thought it was at its best early on. The music at the very beginning is so contagious that you really wanna be with these guys. Yes, even with Donald. And the petrified tree scene is perhaps the comedy highlight from this cartoon, also great build-up until Donald finally makes use of his ax. It does get a bit worse, but the bear and geyser scenes aren't that bad either. All in all this 8 minute cartoon (1 minute longer than they usually were) is not one of best or worse by Disney and starring Donald Duck. I recommend checking it out.

Donald takes on a follow-the-leader role as he takes his scout troop - Huey, Duey and Louie - to a hike in the woods.As bad luck will have it, Donald not-so-expertise in the woods lands him in a hilarious tussle with a bear. His nephews doesn't really help much as they bandage him so thoroughly from a stumble that he can't see bear. Donald takes the brunt of the bad luck.This cartoon has its funny moments with great animation and colorful characters. But it doesn't show much teamwork between Donald and his nephews. There are better ones featuring Donald and his nephews out there.Grade C+

In this cartoon Donald is taking his nephews (no a helluva lot more well-behaved) on a camping trip in the wilderness. Donald is their leader and well...you can pretty much guess that every time he tries to show off to them that disaster will promptly follow.Be it chopping down a tree, pitching a tent or fending off wild bears, Donald does it all badly. And funny. And this is the first cartoon in which Donald actually appears cute instead of frowning and shouting all the time. It's also one of the few cartoons in which is face doesn't turn firetruck red through sheer anger.For a short made in 1938 it's brilliantly drawn and very funny.

In this short, nominated for an Oscar, Donald is the Scout leader of a troop consisting of his nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louey. As is typically the case, Donld is affable, good-natured, even-tempered and thoroughly prepared. Cartoondom's most prominent case of coronary thrombosis in waiting, its' poster child for hypertension, is in rare form. The boys are better equipped than he is for what happens on their hike. The end of the short is hilarious. This runs from time to time on The Ink and Paint Club and is well worth watching.
