A Batalha de Neve de Donald

Instead of having fun in the snow, Donald feels the need to destroy the snowman his nephews have built. It escalates into some fierce attacks by the band of brothers on their nasty uncle. It is non stop. If there's a criticism it would be the sheer cruelty engaged in. Still, it's quite a hoot. Donald never seems to learn.

This is another classic Walt Disney cartoon, this time starring Donald Duck and his nephews-Huey, Dewey, and Louie, that I first saw on "The Wonderful World of Disney" on Christmas Day in 1977 in the all-animated episode "From All of Us to All of You". Here with the first day of snow, the duck in the sailor suit puts on his overcoat and slides down hill on his sled wreaking his nephews' snowman on the way. Those boys wow revenge by having their next one looking like their uncle which gives Donald a big surprise when he knocks it down! Two of my favorite gags here comes when the big duck becomes a rhinoceros when snow falls on him and when the nephews become bowling pins which the uncle knocks down with a snow bowling ball. Quite as hilarious then as now with Donald, as always, getting his comeuppance. So for that, I highly recommend Donald's Snow Fight.

This is another funny Donald vs. Nephews cartoon where they engage in a snowball fight, warfare style, after Donald destroys his nephews' snowman.

From Donald's ice ship to Huey, Duey and Louie's ice fort, it's one hilarious snowball war you've ever seen. Donald looked like he gets the upper hand at first, tossing snowballs to his nephews like they were bowling pins, but, he soon gets more than he bargained for when the trio pelts him with mouse traps and melts his ship. Then, they dance around humming a mysterious native tune, holding around bow and arrows.

I hate seeing Donald always losing out in the end, but he did start the fight, and this was one of the funniest Donald vs. Nephews cartoons I've seen.

Grade B+

I don't think it is quite as good as the stunning Flowers and Trees, but this is a truly funny Donald Duck short. The animation is excellent, as usual in a Silly Symphony, and I will say I love them to death. Donald's Snow Fight is also outstandingly scored with no weak moments. Donald duck is voiced marvellously by Clarence "Ducky" Nash, who had a very distinctive voice that was perfect for the character, and he also voiced the three nephews Huey, Douey and Louie, so it was a one man show. The short is full of hilarious bits, my favourite being when Donald dresses up in that over-sized overcoat and starts singing Jingle Bells. After he sees his nephews building a snowman he decides to ruin the fun and gets thwarted, causing a war between him and them, leading to hilarious consequences. I was kind of sad when Donald was frozen in the ice, but that isn't really a criticism. I loved this short, so I'll give it a 10/10 for entertainment value. Bethany Cox.

As a fan of Donald Duck, I would easily put this as my favorite Donald short/film. The short was able to capture the iconic personality of Donald, creating a humorous exchange between him and his nephews. Several of the scenes from "Donald's Snow Fight" will make you laugh even if you've seen it 100 times before. Between the snowball fight and Donald's sled, this short is well worth the watch!
