Comments

From Jon Cooke : The weakest out of this batch of shorts. This bit reminded me alot of the famous Pluto/flypaper sequence.

From Juan F. Lara : Donald got his fingers stuck in the holes of a bowling ball/bomb, ... and that was about it. Donald spent nearly the whole length of this short trying to get unstuck only by prying the bomb off. So it's the same joke done over and over, and no tension is built. The only thing I really liked about this short (Apart from the animation/artwork. The short had a pretty color scheme and they did a good job keeping Donald's movement smooth.) was the ending. I expected Donald to get blown to smithereens, but that wasn't what happened.

From John Renard : I really liked this one! The animation was great and the ending was absolutely hilarious! From the episode it aired in, it was probably my fave.

From David Gonterman : I wonder what Donald's going to use to make the spare?
