Comments

A similar plot line was used, replacing the mountain lion with a gorila, in 1944's "Donald Duck and the Gorilla."

From Ryan : As mentioned in the comments above, this short is similar to the earlier short "Donald Duck and the Gorilla" only with a lion. Donald's nephews want a pie that Donald has just baked so they disguise themselves as a lion in order to get it. Donald is not fooled for long and chases them away. Eventually, a real mountain lion comes by and Donald thinks it's his nephews again. This is one of my favorite shorts and I reacommend it to all Disney fans.

From Baruch Weiss : This short was ok but it wasn't one of my favorites. If Donald's nephews wanted a pie, they should of just asked their uncle if they could have some. Speaking of nephews I wonder if they have a dad at all?

I have seen "Lion Around" and would like to
