Yeah! Didn't you know? He goes to Pennsylvania and joins. The goal of the game is to paste Donald's face on all the Oatmeal Boxes.
Sorry! I guess I should watch my typing better. Though it should be "Quackers" or however you spell it.
I haven't seen it, so I couldn't really know. I thought it seemed just a bit weird, though.
Since "The Three Caballeros" came up: Unlike a lot of people, I'm quite a fan of the package features of the 40s. I've been thinking lately that they could more or less assemble a third "Latin American" feature using material that already exists. Further they could finish some of the material that never got anywhere.
Around 1940 Disney was working on a title called "Pirate's Gold" (I think). It finally ended up as a comic book by Carl Barks with Donald and the nephews. But from the start it was supposed to be a feature with Donald, Mickey and Goofy. Maybe that could be something. I saw that "Three Musketeers" film a while ago and thought it was pretty good considering it's a modern production.

There may be a story out there that could sustain Donald as the main character for 75 minutes... I just don't know what it would be. I think the dynamics of his personality work well in shorter formats and with other cast members, because, as a character, he plays well as the comic sidekick. Even in his starring short cartoons, there was always a character that was causing him grief, such as the nephews, or the bee, or two little chipmunks. That's what really got Donald into his angry ranting.
If I were writing a Donald feature, I would probably make it an action/adventure oriented classic, such as Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World" or maybe even H.G. Wells "Time Machine" or "Journey to the Center of the Earth". These stories could all easily fit in a scientist character (Ludwig), a rich financier (Scrooge), a love interest (Daisy) and three young identical sidekicks (the nephews.)
Hmmmm....
Darnit! Now I wanna see it!
Hey a Disney version of The Lost World... now that is something pretty interesting. You are onto a good idea there.
...and of course before the movie they need a new animated short with Humphrey and Donald.
I would love for a donald duck movie to come out. DD is my all time favorite disney character.

..now that I think of it, they need to release that movie on DVD...NOW.
I think they should make a Donald movie though, I would be SOOOOO there.
Yes they should! I have been waiting for this forever. Its allready out in the uk. Whats annoying is why in the hell does the UK get disney dvds before we do? I mean hell the usa is where disney originally started, shouldnt we get them first?
Yeah you would think that the US would get them released first. I have no problem with DVDs being released in other regions first but I am bothered when things are released everywhere but in R1 like Ducktales amd The Search for Christopher Robin.
yea... but what cha gona do? I almost bought the R2 so I could convert it from pal to ntsc but I will just wait. Bambi was totally worth the wait And being that DT The Movie is one of my all time favs I will definately be happy I waited...
I could get my DVD player to be all regions but getting DVDs from other regions won't be so easy. No credit card means shopping online is pretty much out of the question.

I saw that movie this morning. I was really impressed by what they did with it and how good the movie actually was. Lots of the stuff had me
I know I'm so surprised at the number there were. I haven't seen many in a long time but growing up I would have thoguht there was atleast a dozen. I really hope they put out a Humphrey volume int he Classic Cartoon Favourites series. I know they will all eventually appear on WD Treasures sets but having them all on one DVD soon would be sweet.

yes you can but playing it on your tv is a different story I think.. since other regions are pal format my tv is NTSC... not sure if it would play and if it does how it would look? And plus I dont feel like spending money on another dvd player...

Yeah, but DuckTales was partly animated in the UK!

The "Pirate´s Gold" story (original project title was "Morgan´s Ghost") would be great stuff for an animated feature starring Donald Duck (pirates, islands, treasures, adventure,...). Both versions are very interesting - the Barks comic version with Donald and the nephews but also the original story version starring Mickey, Donald and Goofy. I guess that animated feature would be still successful - even today.
The idea of a new Donald Duck animated feature is really great. Concerning some of the unproduced DD projects I´ve found some interesting facts in Charles Solomon´s book "The Disney That Never Was":
"The Emperor´s New Clothes" - "(1938), a second crew began to work on a version starring Mickey Mouse. Although it was listed in the studio files as a short, the number of sketches and the added plot compilations suggest that the film could have been expanded into a featurette, if not a full-length feature. (source Solomon, "The Disney That Never Was")
There are some sketches starring Donald as a tailor (he looks great), I guess that would have been a very funny animated feature.
I know the next one is a bit off-topic, but it´s so funny I had to add it here: There was a "Goldie Locks" project in the 1930s that never made it to the screen. A last idea was in 1937 to star Donald as Goldilocks!!!, Pegleg Pete as Papa Bear, Goofy as Mama Bear, and Mickey as Baby Bear!!! LOL - this is no joke, Jake Rose and Dick Creedon who suggested that cast to disney called it later "a shot in the dark"... (source Solomon, "The Disney That Never Was")
kind of bizarre but that would have been a very funny film.
Wow Walt Forever, thanks for posting that. I never knew about any of this. I've never actually heard of the book either and I'll have to check it out.
That featurette sounds interesting. Too bad it never became what it could be.
The Goldilocks and the Three Bears idea sounds hilarious but I wonder if some people at the time found it to be too "wild". Today that creepy Rev. Falliwell (not sure if that is his name?) would have a few things to say and that one family christian group or whatever it is would protest.

You and I botrh on the book.
Anyways, Fallwell and his Fundamentalist followers complain about anything that slightly shows acceptance of another person for who they are and not what person they worship.
