Donald décorateur

The Donald Duck shorts have always been greatly entertaining to me. Inferior Decorator may feel routine- although the story accommodates Donald's trademark frustration and anger well- and more could have been done with the chaotically fun but rather abrupt ending, but it still makes for strong entertainment. The animation was definitely a high point, being very colourful and smooth it was clear that a lot of effort went into it. The music is energetic and beautifully orchestrated, enhancing the action and humour with no problem whatsoever. Donald's dialogue and asides are funny and do a fine job complimenting his personality as usual. The gags, helped by the crisp pacing, raise a number of chuckles and are timed well, the final one succeeds in making us feel sympathy for Donald while also feeling that he got his just desserts(contradictory as that sounds). Buzz-Buzz makes his debut in Inferior Decorator and makes for a foil that is cute yet cunning. Donald has no problem stealing the show, just by doing what he does best.

Overall, interesting for the debut of Buzz-Buzz and amusing and well-animated. Definitely worth checking out, without being a complete must-see. 8/10 Bethany Cox
