Comments

From Jesus Daprice : This was a great short
to watch, but I don't know how much an animal activist will enjoy it. It
might make them a little upset.

From Ryan : I find this short to be quite
humorous. Donald captures a bear cub and takes it to his cabin so that he
can make a fur coat for Daisy. Daisy's only appearance in this short is when
Donald imagines the bear cub as Daisy with her new fur coat. He then kisses
the imaginary Daisy. The cub pushes him aside and starts spitting. When I
was a kid, it made me a little nervous (not in a bad way) when the mother
bear followed Donald's tracks over to his cabin to retrieve her baby. When
shown on TV, this short is missing a scene with Donald choking on the trap
he made for the bear cub. The following scene is not censored: Donald cuts
up a fur coat and disguises himself as the bear cub when the mother has entered
the cabin. He then shouts "Mammy!" in an African-American stereotype pose.
I don't understand why the scene with Donald choking was censored. I mean,
small children aren't going to start choking themselves. Many of these edits
don't make any sense to me at all.

From Baruch Weiss : Donald sure went to a lot of trouble to get into trouble; he should have just gone to Nordstroms to get a fur coat, but then the cartoon might have been boring. Isn't it odd that on TV a scene showing a hanging Donald was snipped out, but not when he shouts "MAMMY!" in an African American stereotype pose nor the scene where he's thinking of different methods to kill the bear? These edits don't make any sense to me either!
I have seen "Dumbbell of the Yukon" and would like to
submit a comment on this short
