It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Another funny Donald Duck from Walt Disney, where Donald tries to capitalize on the rising value of eggs by storing as much eggs as he could find from a nearby chicken coop. However, a rooster won't let him have them.It's classic Donald fun and comedy as he tries to outsmart the freaky rooster by disguising himself as a hen to lure him away from the chicken coop and eggs. Plenty of back and forth tangling and misses; the scenes with the caterpillar contributed to the laughs. Donald almost had the last laugh as well, but couldn't escape his his "get stuck with all the bad luck" persona.Grade B

Golden Eggs (1941) *** (out of 4)The price of eggs are going through the roof so Donald decides to try and make some money. He goes to a chicken coop to pick some eggs but he's caught by the rooster security guard. The rest of the short has Donald trying to get to the eggs.This isn't the greatest Disney short ever produced but it certainly contains enough good moments to make it worth watching. The highlight is certainly an early scene where Donald is working his magic to try and get the chickens to lay more eggs. The production of this scene was quite funny. T he rest of the short basically has Donald dressed up as a rooster and trying to fool the guard. Again, there's nothing great about this short but it's entertaining.

As I can't help nitpicking I do find it a little odd that Donald Duck, who is himself a bird, keeps loads of hens. In this cartoon he learns of the skyrocketing price of eggs (there must be a shortage of hens then) and rushes out to the barn to prompt them into laying loads of them with some upbeat music.But the barn Rooster has other ideas and insists that the eggs stay put. Why would Donald allow the Rooster to push him around so much? And why would the Rooster really care what Donald does with the eggs? It's not like he's going to be doing much with them himself. Despite these moans, the cartoon is very funny and Donald's irritable, persistent personality mixes well with the hijinks.

Donald Duck is reading the paper and finds out that he gets 85 cents per a dozen of eggs. He goes to the chickens and collects as many eggs as he can carry but the rooster gets a little mad. To find his way to the eggs without getting caught by the rooster Donald dresses up like a chicken. The rooster falls instantly in love with Donald and some nice sequences follow.A pretty funny short, especially after Donald has dressed up as a chicken. Although some of the jokes are pretty predictable they will make you smile. Worth a watch.
