snowjob

My favorite "Donald Duck" cartoon ever, also my go-to clip to refute the whole "only Goofy holds up today" thing i.e. Disney shorts. I love how minimal the setup is - as though Donald and the Nephews exist in a permanent state of antagonism. If I had had the kind of ridiculous snow we've had here this year when I was, say, 10... I'd have probably contracted serious hypothermia trying to recreate this stuff...



Even today, the quality of the animation on these things blows my mind, especially considering it's ALL oldschool ink-and-paint stuff. And you can tell the animators had a field-day playing around with the physics of snow/ice/water - I wouldn't be surprised to learn that was the whole reason for doing the cartoon itself.
