Comments

From Ryan : In this short, Bootle Beetle tells his grandson about how he barely made it out of Donald Duck's yard alive. This short was okay, but not one of my favorites. I do enjoy the background art of this short, as well as the animation, quite a bit.

From Isidro : Average. This is not a Donald Duck short; it's a Bootle Beetle short starring Donald for about 2 and a half minutes. In those years the Duck had little screen time compared to the "new rodent of the week" that appared on "his" shorts. With notable exceptions, of course.

I have seen "The Greener Yard" and would like to
