Dazzling cartoon. I think it was inspired by the 1939 movie The Gorilla starring the Ritz Brothers. That was some house out in the swamps for Donald to be living in with HD&L. And I am pretty sure those gorilla gloves were not on the table until after the radio announcement: pretty damn clever that. 5:14 when D leaps the table on the stilts is the graceful high point of a VERY elegant stilt run. And then the ending where tear gas releases ones inner child and bonds us all together. Dazzling

Internet search says the sign off of the guy on the radio "That is all, Breckenridge" was standard police procedure. "That is all" plus the speakers last name. The guy is not suposed to be an emcee or news announcer on commercial radio but an officer on a police band, which apparently radios back then routinely picked up.

@DirtyDerbi It was in the closet next to the gorilla suit.

@TheBookWorm1718 That's one thing I like about the classic cartoons like this. So many gags or references to pop culture of the era or lifestyles of the era. They say cartoons aren't educational. I don't think so. Nowadays with the Internet, you can easily look up a cartoon and more than likely find trivia about the cartoon.

I imagine 60 years from now kids will be watching Family Guy or The Simpsons and need to look up references to Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, or lolcats.

@PatrickRsGhost So in that sense it's a bit educational a look into history. My mother was born a few years after this cartoon and we could never figure out WHAT he said at the end of every report or why he said it.

It sure is a big house with all that running around LOL. This is a great cartoon

[DirtyDerbi]
