Better Late Then Never

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

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+

While not the best Donald Duck cartoon, it is a well drawn and funny one at that. Once again, Donald is the butt of his nephews's mischievous antics, and not only that he does everything here badly! Donald is as cantankerous and as volatile as ever, and his nephews are cute and mischievous, not to mention funny. The animation is excellent here, with crisp backgrounds and nice colouring. The character features mayn't always be as great as it could have been, but oh well. The music is lively and fun, and the voice acting from Clarence Nash is stellar. The gags are funny, especially the end one, that had me in stitches.Overall, not the best but great fun at that. 9/10 Bethany Cox

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.
