Winter.. the snow is deep and Donald Duck is out sledding. Instead of simply enjoying the
fun of the slopes the rascally Donald smashes his way through a snowman built by his three
nephews, Huey,
Dewey and Louie. All-out-war is declared, with both sides retreated to their respective
'Ice Castles'. Believe me: medieval warfare had nothing on this.
Huey, Dewey and Louie first appeared in (rather unsurprisingly), Donald 's Nephews. (1938) and were to appear in a total of some 27 episodes of 'Uncle Donald's screen life, invariably getting the better of him. Donald's Snow Fight was their tenth appearance, and one of their finest - nasty old Donald doesn't stand a chance!
'Snow Fight' is laden with brilliant gags (too numerous to mention in detail) and we even have Donald singing 'Jingle Bells' - what more could anyone want? - the colour, definition and sound are all very good too.
I unreservedly recommend you add this to your list of items suitable for your Christmas shows, one of the best Donald Duck shorts available.
