Self Control (1938)
8/10
Fun, sometimes cute and beautifully animated
4 April 2012
I love Donald Duck, and always enjoy his cartoons. Self Control is not one of my favourites, but it is pleasant enough. It is beautifully animated with energetic music, and a well paced and interesting story(though I am also not convinced that counting from 1 to 10 is always a convincing enough way to soothe the temper). Self Control is more very amusing than it is absolutely hilarious, but all the gags still work regardless. Donald is great, temperamental yet still likable, and the caterpillar is very cute without cloying too much. Clarence Nash and Florence Gill both do sterling voice work.

Overall, fun and cute, with beautiful animation and music. Definitely worth watching, even if Donald has done better. 8/10 Bethany Cox
