Just like Building a Building is one of Mickey Mouse's finest cartoons, The Riveter is likewise for Donald Duck. The animation is bright and crisp, like the best animation of this particular era for Disney, while the music is energetic and characterful, enhancing the action as it should do. The story is similar to Building a Building, but the way The Riveter is told it is never derivative of it, plus the cartoon has not a dull spot. But what The Riveter succeeds most are in the characters and gags. Pete always was a his best as a foil to Mickey and Donald, and helped by the inspired rapport with Donald The Riveter is no exception. Donald makes the cartoon work, still as easily frustrated yet likable as ever. The action and gags are numerous and every moment is very funny, especially the rivet sequence, Pete and Donald manning up to each other and Donald's unnerved reactions to the sound of the rivet gun. Overall, simply great, beautifully animated and lots of fun. 10/10 Bethany Cox
