Golden Eggs
Donald reads in his newspaper that eggs are really going up in value and the price is skyrocketing. Donald realizes that if he had some eggs, he would be quite the wealthy duck so he breaks into a nearby hen-house and collects as many eggs as possible putting them all in a huge basket. Unfortunately, a rooster standing guard makes his presence known and ejects Donald. The inventive duck is able to get back in disguised as a female chicken who the rooster falls for and dances with. Unfortunately, with the rubber glove comb constantly coming loose and a caterpillar falling down the back of his suit, he is ever at the risk of being discovered.

best movie i've ever seen.
Best movie ever!
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
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.
Clarence Nash & Florence Gill had never sounded SO good like in this Donald Duck cartoon. In this cartoon, Donald has read in the paper that the price of eggs "sky-rocket" to 85 cents a dozen. Sure it might not much today, but I it must have been a lot back then. So he decide to harvest eggs from the hen-house for profit. But not when a protective rooster's on watch. So Donald tries disguising himself as a hen.I love this cartoon, it is one of my favorite Donald shorts from 1941. I love it when Donald flips the record from slow "Lazy Daze" music to "Hot Stuff" jitter-bug music to speed up production (with eggs 85 cents). And also when he first encounters the rooster while zipping back and forth putting eggs in the basket. It is also funny to see Donald as a hen, and it's amazing that Clarence "Ducky" Nash could cluck like a chicken in his Donald voice.Donald is the first duck to be masquerading in the guise of a chicken, because it was also done in a Daffy Duck cartoon "You were never Duckier", but in a different situation.
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.
