Storyline

Donald runs a shooting gallery. His nephews come by and he offers them a free shot, but when the first one hits all the targets, the notoriously cheap Donald switches a cheap prize for the correct one. He then gives the other two boys gimmicked guns; the last one is empty, but the targets break anyway because one boy is hitting them from behind. Donald chases them off; they use the mystic's booth next door to get revenge.

Straight Shooters- a lot of fun!

I happen to like the Donald Duck cartoons with his three nephews Huey, Duey and Louie. Straight Shooters is not one of my favourites of theirs, I do prefer Donald's Nephews, Donald's SnowBall Fight, Good Scouts and Truant Officer Donald. Although there is a lot to like, the story is rather unremarkable coming across as somewhat routine, also there are a couple of noticeable continuity errors such as Donald throwing down all the bulbs and still having one left the next second. However, the animation is beautiful especially in the colours and the music as energetic as ever. The gags are still imaginative and timed immaculately, with the best moments being in the final two minutes or so such as with the "another dollar" gag and particularly the one when the nephews vamp themselves up in the Egyptian museum. Clarence Nash's vocal work is impeccable as always. All in all, fun and worth watching, I've just seen better. 8/10 Bethany Cox
