Commando Duck

Easily one of the worst soldiers the Army has ever seen (judging by his previous cartoon hijinks), Donald is dropped out of an airplane and right into enemy territory. That's somewhere in the Japan jungle actually.

The air is ripe for typical wartime xenophobia as things go wrong for poor old ducky right from the start. He sniped at by stereotyped Japanese soldiers and runs for his feathered life. The funny thing is, while running he tries to escape on a rubber raft. But the raft gets caught under a waterfall and fills up with river water. Soon it becomes a massive waterballoon and Donald running for his life once more, tho not from the 'Japs' but from the impending doom of a mile high water balloon.

It's very funny and highly inventive. Definitely one of Donald's better wartime efforts.

This short is great.Donald as a commando is effective in a way no other Disney character could be.The Japanese have quite a sence of humor.They also have dialogs that cause me to burst in laughter such as in a moment in which one of them sees a shoots the rope from which Donald is hanging he shouts"I did it!Just like the Lone Ranger!".The condition of the airfield in the end is reminding me of Surrealistic paintings.Probably one of Disney's best shorts,

The heavily supplied "Donald" must head to a Japanese airbase on a remote island. There he is to surround and wipe them all out...! Well narrowly avoiding a couple of crocodiles upon landing, he sets off on his mission whilst the vocals of his well camouflaged enemy indulge in some stereotyping pidgin-dialogue about only shooting people in the back. Quickly, "Donald" realises that his inflatable dinghy isn't bullet proof, nor is it much use on waterfalls either, especially when more and more full of water and expanding exponentially - though the resulting inundation clearly has it's uses. Cartoons were regularly used as propaganda tools, but I rarely remember one quite this aggressive. Not just in the animation, itself, but in the whole presentation. Somehow, even the perilous antics of the duck didn't inject much humour into this and I didn't love it.

This is one of the few Disney shorts to show one of our beloved characters fighting the enemy in combat.

Donald is given a mission to face the enemy and destroy the Japanese airbase on a tropical island.

In order to do this he must travel by river and be on the look out for Crocodiles and Japanese Snippers This task is very risky for a soldier to do specially for Donald.

This here is yet another great WW2 Donald Duck short.

Please that this is one of the many Disney shorts banned due to it having Japanese as the enemy and making them look very gullible and sneaky. So those who are Japanese might find this short offensive.

You're able to see it off of the Disney Treasures Front Line Box Set.

Donald Duck as a paratrooper has to surround (he is alone) a whole Japanese base and then attack the enemy. Most of the things go wrong, of course. This is a quite funny Disney short. The Japanese enemies have some nice one-liners and the ending is quite funny as well. 7/10.
