Donald, God of Disney funnies!

This is a hilarious Donald Duck cartoon where Donald's beauty sleep was disturbed by Pegleg Pete's awful trombone playing. Donald's polite attempts to get Pete to quiet down were met with harsh responses. Even the gods Jupiter and Vulcan were disturbed, so, they gave powers to Donald so he could counter Pete's sour notes. What resulted were funny magic Donald vs. Pete action.

It's a nicely done story with beautiful animation and memorable characters. I thought the fact that the gods resembled ducks was a nice homage to Donald, and the ongoing feud between Donald and Peglet Pete was entertaining to watch.

Donald shows off his classic fiery personality, and the devilish faces he makes after learning he was granted magic powers was freaky and hilariously funny at the same time.

It's a fast-paced and pure fun cartoon. I was glad that bad-lucked prone Donald actually got the upper hand in this story - a rarity for him!
