Featured review
That moment when you realize that Sigourney Weaver's uncle participated in one of the nastier cartoons out there
It seems to me that a lot of Disney's old cartoons had sort of a nasty side, and "Duck Pimples" is a prime example. I saw it on a video compilation called Scary Tales which also included a cartoon in which Pluto gets sent to Hell and put on trial for crimes against cats (that one was just inappropriate for children).
Anyway, this one depicts Donald Duck letting his imagination get the better of him, as characters from books start coming to life. Borderline violent, it hardly seems like something that people should let the tykes watch. The Warner Bros. cartoons always took a cleverer approach to these things.
What I noticed while reading the cast is the presence of Doodles Weaver. He was Sigourney Weaver's uncle. A character actor, his roles included the boat owner in "The Birds" and the hardware store clerk in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". How many people would realize that the niece of the guy renting Tippi Hedren the boat and trying to keep Sid Caesar and Edie Adams out of the store would have to battle a bloodthirsty alien and get possessed by an evil spirit trying to take over New York?
So, this is not a cartoon that I recommend.
I like to think about that. Walt Disney finances "Duck Pimples", and over seven decades later the niece of one of the cast members gets interviewed for Ron Howard's documentary about the Beatles' touring years. And last year's "Ghostbusters" was better than most people gave it credit for.
