Comments

A part of this short was used in the feature film, "The Reluctant Dragon."

From Ryan : This is definitely a classic Donald short. I love the part where he milks his cow Clementine (who has been up in a tree eating leaves) and a bee keeps bugging them. The animation was also nicely done, especially the drawing of the barn when Donald calls for Clementine. It was a wonderful perspective drawing. I have only seen the black and white version of this short on the "Mickey Mouse Club." I bet the original color version would look a lot better.

From Baruch Weiss : I thought that this short was okay. I enjoyed the scene where Old MacDonald Duck (hence the name of this cartoon) is looking for Clemintime who was up in a tree eating leaves. She seemed to have gotten down okay, but how she got up there in the first place is an enigma to me; perhaps she climbed up. After all, in a cartoon anything is possible! I also enjoy the scene where a fly bothers the cow and as she swishes her tale it ends up on Donald's head appearing as if he has a tuft of hair!

I have seen "Old MacDonald Duck" and would like to
