Good Scouts
0 views
Donald is leading a scout troop consisting of his nephews on a hike in the woods. Donald isn’t nearly the expert on the woods that he thinks he is, much to the amusement of the boys. In a bid for sympathy, he douses himself in catsup and fakes injury; the boys bandage him so thoroughly he can’t see, and he stumbles into a pot of honey, and is soon getting all too much attention from a bear.
★★★★☆
Curator’s rating
Oscar nominee
Nominated for the Academy Award. Donald leads his nephews into the woods on the strength of confidence alone, and the wilderness dismantles him. It is one of the best of the pre-war nephew shorts because Donald's incompetence is specific rather than general — he knows the vocabulary of scouting and none of the skills.
