Sledding in the snow, Donald Duck (Clarence Nash, who does all voices) purposely destroys Huey, Dewey, and Louie’s snowman. The boys decide to fight back and it escalates to a wild snowball fight. 7 min.
This isn’t really a Christmas film, but it is a winter one, and is generally shown at Christmastime. Disney packages it with their other Christmas shorts, so it gets on to this list by popular demand.
This is standard, Disney studio work from their classic days. The artwork is top notch, as I would expect. There isn’t much of a story, but then Donald Duck shorts aren’t exactly known for their complicated plots. It’s all sight gags, but then with Donald’s voice, clever witticisms would be lost on the audience. He jumps and quacks, and shoots ice bullets at his nephews. Don’t look for meaning, just put it on before an old Christmas feature, with the fire going and some Christmas cookies, and you’re set.
