Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Dreadfully Boring

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This is a hilarious cartoon short where Donald and Goofy are lost at sea, stranded after their nickel-propelled sailboat won't sail because Donald ran out of nickels. As a result, you get to see an unshaven Donald yearning for water and suffering under the hot sun, while Goofy drinks seawater and attempts to fish, without a care in the world.It's frustrated Donald and clueless Goofy - offering up some great laughs, from Goofy waving to passersby on an ocean liner (without an inkling that they could have saved them from their stranded sailboat) while Donald tries to catch a nickel fallen from Goofy's shirt. Lots of hilarious misadventures follow before they finally got the sailboat working.A funny cartoon featuring two of Disney's most hilarious characters!Grade A

Disney cartoons were a big part of my childhood and I have great affection for a lot of them now. No Sail still holds up today for me. The animation is colourful and vibrant as one would expect, and the music is both beautiful and energetic. I also loved the simple yet never dull story and the line "A huck, the worst is over, it's all downhill from here". But other than the impeccable voice work of Pinto Colvig(Goofy) and Clarence Nash(Donald), the characters and gags are what make No Sail so worth watching. The contrast between Goofy and Donald is really inspired, Goofy easy-going, clumsy and nonchalant and Donald frustrated, cantankerous and basically the character equivalent of an emotional roller-coaster, yet both manage to be likable. And the gags make this one of the funnier Disney cartoons in my opinion, especially the fight over the "chicken", the growth of the stubble(s), the frantic ending and the recurring gag of Donald being clobbered on the head with the main sail. Overall, a great cartoon. 10/10 Bethany Cox

A Walt Disney DONALD & GOOFY Cartoon.Donald Duck finds himself stranded in a tiny boat with NO SAIL, in shark-infested waters - and doltish Goofy as his companion.This humorous little film garners its laughs from the dichotomy between the two characters' personalities - the blustery, temperamental Duck and the easygoing, simpleminded Goof. Place them in a perilous situation, surround them with danger and you've got the potential for a great little comedy. Clarence Nash provides Donald with his unique voice.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by pictures & drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew comic figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work will always pay off.
