Disney-Sky Trooper

[Vangrungy]

why peal the potatoes.? the skin is good for you too

[cupcakefairy87]

This has to be my favourite of the Donald Duck war cartoons. It has so many funny moments in it, especially when Donald sticks the plane tail into Pete's bottom and when he gets scared to parachute jump out of the plane.

[PanAmPatrick]

The two planes in a dive (at 0:40 - 0:42) are the colorful but obsolete Douglas TBD Devastator torpedo bombers. State of the art when introduced in 1937, obsolete by the beginning of the war, completely wiped out by the Battle of Midway, and completely retired by 1944.

[MHXDownfall]

I think this is a sequel to Donald Gets Drafted, because Donald can be seen peeling potatoes like he did before.

[greenbubba97]

if you pause at 6:35 you can see that pete lost his legs

[veedle96]

5.06 look back tail away

[n00bAnkka234]

0:46 :(

I don´t like scenes where Don´s sad :(

[tweethang1]

@n00bAnkka234 I don't like seeing him sad either. All he wanted to do was fly

[leon145100]

in my childhood i saw it every day:)

[RW11Rodman]

Everyone who likes this video should watch the Woody Woodpecker short 'Ace in the Hole' that was released 5 months earlier. The plot is IDENTICAL... the only major difference is Disney substituted horse grooming for potato peeling...

[9DarthMaul]

i adore this cartoon!!!

[22BeeHoney]

hehehe donald wants to be a soldier but all off the sudden he fails and been always punish peeling full pile of potatoes one of my favorite donald duck show the sky trooper

[storfy33]

dont point out all the flaws in this video with the text bubbles...animation is very hard and you cant get everything right all the time. Disney was a genius no matter what!

[damacon]

i thought it is a free world to say what i want to say or what i needed to say. and it is human nature to point out flaws and mistakes, but i do not mean any disrespect to the animator or cartoonist, cos' i am a video animation lecturer. and in my class, i usually use this cartoon as a sample for my students not to make these kinda mistakes in their future working life.

besides, if you don't like the "flaw bubbles", you do know that you can off them, right?

[m1rock]

@damacon No. Its not a free world buddy. Whoever told you that is a blowing smoke in your face.

[MDthornton83]

@storfy33 That's right. Besides, Disney's animation is pure gold. It's timeless. Compared to what's out there today, this is way ahead of its time.

[storfy33]

@MDthornton83 amen to that! :)

[storfy33]

@MDthornton83 oh and if my disney history is correct, this was at a time when the company practically had no money to make great animation, so flaws were to be expected. but somehow they still turned out great material. just awesome :)

[MDthornton83]

@storfy33 Actually, I find the flaws in this animation to be less apparent and visible than the flawed American animation of the 90s. In fact, I've always looked up to Disney cartoons as a great source of inspiration.

[storfy33]

@MDthornton83 i completely agree...i'm am a huge disney fan. all i mean is that there are so few flaws considering the time period. world war 2 was such a hard time for disney animation that it is just amazing to me how awesome the cartoons that came out of it were...just goes to show walt disney's dedication. i wish it were still that way

[alessandrovl]

3:29 so good

[acepilot1997]

look closely, its a b-26 marauder, not a c-47. the bomb was hanging outside the bay and the C-47 didnt have a bubble nose.

[PandAproductions671]

It's not really a Sky Trooper, it's a Paratrooper.

[ILoveMisty1985]

Donald looks so sad at 0:45.

[MiniDudenor]

look look stu ..

[jethro23451]

if you see very carefully and pause the video you see that they aint ducks like donald they are the same one guys like the ones in the airplane with donald:P

[Disneygreatestsongs]

lol alot of mistakes because it was drawn by hand

[Tripp426]

The whole Donald not wanting to leave the plane struggle was so funny

[crocodile05]

3:27 glad they didn't put a poke sfx, it's funnier without :P

[sportexit]

Aw, common!

This toon was made about 60 years ago, who actually cares if they missed a few things or not?! this is culture!

[revengeofthecookie]

5:23 to 5:29

No parachute either!How lazy are these animators?

[cew1965]

a bomb on a troop carrier (not saying C47 cause it doesn't look like one)?

[NLFonsseals]

C-47 was able to carry 2 bombs, i think

[PandAproductions671]

No it couldn't!

[PRESTON58CENT]

No it is a transport aircraft only.

[NLFonsseals]

There was a type out there? the LI-2 from russia or so.....

[cew1965]

disney doesn't worry about switching colors, sides or removing and adding objects because the general audience wouldn't care. they mess with the intelligent people.

[elizabeso08]

Donald is so cute when he moans: "i want to fly"

[ESPsplit]

god damn stupid nigger.

[DrLeavingsoon]

The paratroopers are wearing their parachutes in regulation position below the belt line.

[11DNA11]

anyone wondered why do Black Pete, Mickey mouse and Goofy always wear gloves?

[TIE7386]

It goes back to when they were in black and white. It was to show their hands when close to the body.

[JonathanDParshall]

At 0:40 those look like T-6 Texans.

[mikefilmstudios]

5:22 - 5:28 no parachute again!

[rainhamendgill]

GOD BLESS DONALD DUCK

[Elothriel]

Oww poor bird, his duck heritage wants him to fly ^^ He says "I wanna fly" in such a cute way ^^ And at 3:20 Donald doesnt' have airplane's tail in his hands and at 3:24 it suddenly appears )) And why does parachute disappear so dramatically at 5:12 o_O

[greenth1ng]

Donald's line at 1:46 is recycled in Mickey's PhilharMagic

[Rusty43138]

Hard to take a commander seriously when he wears green and orange striped socks XD

[Bluemidknight]

That Sergeant is Canadian, eh?

[marxyouth]

Why donald is afraid of heights. I would be very honored to be an airborne. If only i had american Citizenship. I would do anything to join the US Army

[dumontagne7]

You can join as a resident.

[Thebard34]

ur not alone i was born in America and as soon as i am of age I am joining the 101st airborne

[1wildgoth]

You can join the U.S. Army without getting your citizenship first, as long as you have proof that you are LEGALLY living in the U.S., but you have about four years to gain your citizenship, or else they will kick you out.

[Renamon2000]

"Did I stick it?"

"Yeah. You stuck it."

I remember seeing this cartoon many times when I was a little kid. One of the best!

[TimeChristis]

"ooooooh...I wanna flyyyyy" LOL love how he says it.

[darknessvs]

but if he really want to fly go to the us air force academy!

[darknessvs]

us army rules!

[XxShaCupcakesXx]

the way Donald is crying at the begining of this one makes me wanna cry. "Oh, I wanna fly!"........ oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.. XD

[austinlyle0]

no no he said "boy, was that bigshot suprised!"

[merlin8585]

You know, it's funny. Donald wants to join the Air Force, gets drafted into the Army, and somehow winds up in the Navy. weird...

[damacon]

whoa..........major brain freeze..... i bet i would have never thought of this till i die until you mention this. great observation. good job. maybe donald join the navy cos he is afraid of flying.

[luke864]

this so funny, these cartoons never date...the best

[Jonte135]

"I wanna fly, I wanna fly" he keeps saying, with that whiny voice. Gah!

[psychill22]

LOL "Yeah...you stuck it!"

[MarkWilk19]

anyone notice that Pete's missing shoe and sock switch feet?!

[damacon]

not only that. look even closer.

1. as pete is about to kick donald out of the plane, he raises his left foot.

2. notice that donald's parachute keep appearing and disappearing?

3. notice that pete's belt changes at times from white to black to white

4. pin the tail on the plane. notice the tail appearing and disappearing on donald's hand?

[JStryker47]

And one more thing: in the end, Pete's sleve changes from blue to brown when he shoves the potato into Donald's beak.

[MDthornton83]

Funny part at the end when Pete shoves a potatoe into Donald's beak!

[MDthornton83]

Classic. Good stuff. Love these Disney cartoons.

[Cartoonsoldier83]

I hate peeling potatos

[OhlzMeister]

this is soo good, i love the old donald.. :)

[Cartoonsoldier83]

Was Donald apart of the 101st or 82nd airborne

[tails22x]

"You wanted to fly so fly!" OOOoooaaarrrgggg! Man I feel sorry for donald. You'd think with the huge shortage of pilots in WWII he would find himself in some kind of plane.

[aka99]

never seen before

[notsh]

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

[BenJabituya]

No one calls Donald a jughead!

[Dragon1813]

What did donald say at the end?

[JStryker47]

Sounded to me like, "Boy, was that (something) surprised!"

[Dragon1813]

@JStryker47 "BIGSHOT" I finaly figured it out.

[nikkidoodle83]

"I wanna fly!" *makes a potato airplane*

[MrFlix1983]

Favorite part at 3:28 when Pete gets it in the butt! "HOA-AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" "Did I stick it, Sarge?" "Yeah! You STUCK IT!"

[b3d]

That part makes me laugh as well!

[KrazzyB]

Pete is so awesome
