This is, essentially, the first Donald Duck cartoon. By which I mean, it has the classic formula of most 40s Donald cartoons - Donald succumbs to anger and pettiness while dealing with an irritating force. The force this time is the orphans, who we first saw in the classic “Orphans’ Benefit”. They’re basically tiny Mickey clones, but way more mischievous - in fact, in this short they basically serve as proto-nephews (Huey, Duey and Louie) - little kid antagonists - even going so far as to call him “Uncle Donald.” Another reason this is basically a Donald cartoon is that Mickey has a small amount of screentime in the first third or so of the cartoon, and then he disappears completely from it. Make no mistake, this cartoon is about Donald. There is, unfortunately, a gross Native American bit, where the orphans put feathers on their heads and do the stereotypical ‘war cry’ thing. At the end, there’s also this bit where a bee is inside Donald, and it batters around inside, including in his limbs, which I find severely unpleasant. Overall, it’s an okay cartoon, but it’s basically a prototype of much better cartoons that will come later, and that coupled with the racism doesn’t give it much to encourage me to recommend it.
