Donald Duck: Wow!
[a thought appears over his head with the word BONUS and a sack filling with money]
Boss through the speaking pipe: Production has increased in every single department.
Donald Duck: Oh!
[smiles and rubs his hands together]
Boss through the speaking pipe: Except one.
Donald Duck: [the sack in his thought stops filling] Huh?
Boss through the speaking pipe: The gift wrapping department.
Donald Duck: [the sack of money in his thought empties and the thought disappears as he looks to the speaking pipe angrily] Is that so?

This classic Donald Duck cartoon featured on a video I had that also had Once Upon a Wintertime and Pluto's Christmas Tree, as well as excerpts from films such as Bambi, Peter Pan and Cinderella that I watched every single Christmas. I loved it then, and at 17 I still love it now. The Clock Watcher hasn't got the best story in the world, but it is a fun one, with some good gags such as the speaker that won't shut up and the jack-in-the-box that won't stay closed. Donald is funny here, and even loses his temper once or twice. Also assisting him are some excellent animation and some very good music. The title of the cartoon may be a little misleading to those not familiar with it, but regardless this is really something. 10/10 Bethany Cox
