This is Donald Duck's first cartoon, where he plays a supporting character, along with Peter Pig, opposite the Hen. She wants them to help her plant corn, but Donald and Peter fake a belly ache. When she asks them to help her eat the corn, they gladly accept but instead get more than they were bargained for.
It's a colorfully animated cartoon short with innocent-sounding music and lovable characters that kids would enjoy. Even though Donald plays a secondary character, his classic voice (by Clarence Nash) and sailor outfit are seen and heard here and will preclude his iconic character in many cartoons to come.
It's not a terribly funny cartoon, as Donald's trademark slapstick misadventures and comedy are missing (since this is considered a "Silly Symphony" cartoon), but nonetheless, it's a fine one to introduce Donald Duck.
Grade B
