Comments

From Ryan : This cartoon is pretty good. I enjoy watching it a lot because I like all the humor in it. One part I enjoy is where Donald is following his double and Daisy through the Tunnel of Love at an amusement park. It turns out, however, that Donald and his double go through it and end up hugging each other (I'm surprised Disney hasn't censored that, well let's be thankful that they didn't) with Daisy screaming her head off at the two of them. It seems, even though Daisy dosen't have an incoherent voice like Donald, she still loses her temper easily making Donald's perfect match. In fact, this may be the last short where she is that way. One odd thing I noticed was that when Donald's double looked at a photograph of Daisy, his eyes bulged out (something you'd find in one of those Tex Avery cartoons). This is rather odd for a Disney cartoon. Nevertheless, it only happens once and doesn't bother me.

From Albert : Any cartoon where donald loses his temper like this deserves a perfect 10! I laughed till I cried when Donald tears out a huge chunk of wood with only his teeth! To bad they don't play these cartoons as much as they used to.

From Baruch Weiss : "Manners and your English is terrible, untill you develop a more pleasant personality I don't wanna ever see you again" says Daisy at the begining of this cartoon. Well I would have to agree with that Donald can be rude sometimes. The ending with Donald hugging the Donald look alike was pretty funny and it is suprising that Disney hasan't censored that but I'm thankful that they didn't!
