Trivia:
The name of the Admiral that sends Donald the penguin is spelled as Bird, not Byrd. An intentional gag, as the Disney people didn't make typo mistakes very often. more

Both cute and funny at the same time, 12 October 2007
10/10
Author: Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) from Canada

Donald's my favorite Disney character, and this is one of favorite shorts from 1930s, in this short Donald dosen't get just an Ostrich (Donald's Ostrich); but a Penguin. I have ordered "The Chronological Donald Duck #1" on DVD from Amazon.ca, and this short is on it. Like all theatrical short I've watched, it's both cute and funny at the same time.

The funny parts is when Tootsie (the Penguin) woke up with a start, and slaps Donald on the face. And also every time Donald turns around, the goldfishes disappear suddenly. The sweet part is when Donald just can't shoot Tootsie (for eating the goldfishes),and when the gun accidentally fell and blasted the wall, Donald thought the gun shot Tootsie and he looks for her; but she was really hiding in the closet, Donald found her, and all was forgiven.
