Sea Scouts (1939)
8/10
Donald versus the shark!
4 July 2020
"Sea Scouts" was made during the finest years for Disney shorts. Like other shorts from this era, they were unsurpassed by other studios...thanks to gorgeous backgrounds and highly detailed animation. "Sea Scouts", simply put, is a gorgeous short...the type you would expect from Disney in 1939.

The first thing you'll likely notice is that Donald's nephews look a tad different--more rounded. This is because it's an early appearance by them and they still weren't as consistently drawn. This is not a criticism...more an observation.

As for the story, Donald is going to take his nephews boating but unfortunately, a nasty shark is lurking nearby and plans on eating them. Can Donald manage to save himself and his little nephews?

This is a well animated and enjoyable cartoon. I particularly liked the way it ended...certainly NOT what I expected!
