From Ryan : This is definitely a classic
Donald Duck short. The animation was nicely done, giving it an eerie look.
I liked the scene where the cat and Donald are both on a board and Donald
is about to fall into the ocean, lake,etc. The cat walks over and he tells
him/her to go back, but as soon as the cat is too far back, Donald tells
the cat to come back a little more. Another funny scene is at the end when
the bomb (which was in the package the whole time) exploded after falling
into the water. Dozens of fish came flying right out and landing on the dock
all over Donald. Soon several cats come over to chow down.

From Baruch Weiss : This sure is a classic Donald short! I espically enjoy the song Donald sings at the begining. I also enjoy the ending where fish comes flying and several cats come and start to chow down and Donald just laughs it off; kind of out of character for him because that's usually what Mickey Mouse would do. The only other time I can think of when he did this was in the 1940 cartoon "Donald's Dog Laundry"!
