Modern Inventions

"Modern Inventions" is a cartoon inspired by World's Fairs...such as the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition. This is because at the various fairs, all sorts of modern and futuristic inventions were showcased in the various pavilions...much like the place Donald goes to when the cartoon begins. There, he finds all sorts of robotics--as folks in 1937 apparently thought robots would become our butlers and do a lot of other time-saving things for mankind. Unfortunately, Donald is a nasty jerk and each time the robots try to help, Donald loses his temper...and he clearly deserves all the bad things that happen to him. Still, despite Donald being a total jerk (or perhaps because of it), it's very enjoyable and well made...nicely animated and funny.
