Truant Officer Donald is my sixth review of an Oscar-nominated cartoon for 1941
7 March 2024
This is my sixth review of an Oscar-nominated cartoon for 1941, having previously done the same for George Pal's Rhythm in the Ranks, Friz Freleng's Rhapsody in Rivets, Walter Lantz' Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy from Company B, Rudolf Ising's The Rookie Bear, and Hanna-Barbera's The Night Before Christmas. In this, one of two Walt Disney Studios entries, Donald Duck is indeed a truant officer who eyes his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie having fun swimming thinking they're skipping school. So he takes them any way he can but those three manage to find ways to elude him everytime. At least until they go to their clubhouse. I'll just now say this was quite a funny cartoon nearly from beginning to end. Resident Duck director Jack King really brings the laughs throughout. Only four more Academy Award nominated animated shorts to go...
