Summary: Maybe it's me, but the Duck ain't funny!
Review: With excellent animation, Disney must've cut back on his gag writing budget, because Donald Duck solo just isn't that funny, pretty much a one joke pony.The shorts with Donald, Mickey and Goofy together are classics, as the different characters play off each other, or react with their own personalities to the same situation, without having to carry an entire cartoon. For laugh out loud funny cartoons, I prefer Warner Bros. or Tex Avery MGM shorts (yeah, when are THOSE coming out on DVD?). BTW, I did enjoy the DD toons on the WWII set more than these...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sooooooooooooo!!!! In 2 Words: Just Ducky!!!
Review: Wonderful to see the unedited, uncensored, and unbound Donald in his early work at the Disney Studios! Braveaux, WD! The only drawback has been mentioned before, so I quote from a previous reviewer "The big drawback however is Leonard Maltin's sermonizing about gunplay and stereotyping... all the unPC stuff. I feel like he thinks morons are watching these cartoons. He keeps giving the "that was what was done then, but we would never consider doing it now". Ok, Leonard, once is enough, thanks."

BUT......... even Little Lame Leonard cannot hold this Duck down, and Donald's everlasting charm overshadows even Mr. Maltin's limp noodle routine!

I can't wait for the next set, though it does not appear it will be coming out in 2005. My personal favorite, the Fountain of Youth, which has Donald and his 3 nephews visiting the fabled Fountain of Youth in Florida only to find themselves in comedy hijinx with a local gator, will hopefully be included then.

Buy it...... Donald and Disney put the CLASS in classics, and continue to demonstrate why these will ALWAYS be ageless and enduring!!!
