Storyline
Donald is preparing a little picnic when he sees some ants passing by. He decides to tease one, ultimately by piling lots of food onto it. The ant eventually stumbles, but realizes Donald is sitting on a veritable gold mine. He rallies his fellow ants, and while Donald is napping, they cart him to a cliff and drop him into the river. When he returns to the raid in progress, he finds himself powerless to stop it. He dynamites the ant hill, but that only separates the ledge he's standing on, and he finds himself in the river again as the ants finish off a cupcake. Written by

As a Donald Duck fan, I love this cartoon and consider one it one of his better ones. The story is on the predictable side, but so much makes up for this. The animation is often crisp and very beautiful to watch, the ants are very cute and Donald is well drawn and antagonistic, getting his just desserts in the end. The music always been a joy in these cartoons and the music here is no exception, typically bouncy and energetic. Tea for Two Hundred works so well on the humour side of things, especially the ending with the dynamite which is priceless. Pinto Colvig and Clarence Nash as always provide effective vocal work. Overall, a lively and very funny cartoon, with a lot to enjoy. 9/10 Bethany Cox
