Officer Duck (1939)
10/10
One of my favorite Donald vs. Pete cartoons
7 October 2009
This short is one of my favorite Donald vs. Pete cartoons, besides "Timber" and "Trombone Trouble." The story goes like this: The chief orders Donald, a police officer, to apprehend "Tiny Tom" (Pete). But Tiny Tom isn't as "tiny" as Donald thought, and the arrest didn't go so well. So Officer Duck uses strategy and disguises himself as a baby, and soon big, tough Tiny Tom becomes a nice guy. Isn't it funny? A cop and a crook play "baby and papa." I love the part when Donald hits Tom on the head with a pipe from the wall, and from the blow, the outline of Tom's face (from the side view) is indented on the pipe.

I remember watching this short on TV-the edited version. Of course, on TV, they didn't show how Tiny Tom lit a cigar with a plumber's torch and later shot the door with a machine gun. Overall, this, to me, is one of the best Donald Duck cartoons of 1939.
