Comments

From Ryan : I have not seen this short for a long time. Nevertheless, I remember quite a bit of it. I enjoyed the part where Donald is sleepwalking through the zoo and Daisy is running after him. The ring that Donald was giving to Daisy lands on a female ape's toe. Daisy pulls it off but the female ape thinks her husband is trying to pull the ring off and gets upset. Daisy follows Donald through many other obstacles such as heavy traffic. Daisy has to jump on the traffic light and change it to STOP. Great short with lots of fun gags.

From Candi Bear : This short is really funny. I liked the way donald seems to know where his walking with his eyes closed and he can just slip through troubles that are like, YOU CANT DO THAT, like walking upside down and walking on the wall. But over all its a good short its a classic.

From Baruch weiss : I think that this short's okay. I enjoyed the scene where Donald puts a ring on a tree branch and it lands on a female monkeys finger who thinks that her husband gave it to her, then Donald takes it off and of course the monkey thought it was her husband that did that then she smacks him!

I have seen "Sleepy Time Donald" and would like to
