Synopsis

Donald visits Daisy. When he can't open a window, he flies into a rage and practically destroys her house. She won't see him again until he takes care of that temper.

m-86730 Donald is on his way to Daisy, which occured a temper problem, which Donald manage to change his temper to have good spirits, which Daisy lost her temper in all of a sudden, seemed nice to see Donald in good temper, but seemed unpleasant in the end. Not really good one...
TheLittleSongbird One of my favourite Donald Duck cartoons. The gags are spot-on here, right from the beginning with Donald destroying Daisy's house, Donald taking the radio's insults to help control his temper and especially the fun ending involving Daisy, a ridiculous-looking hat and a complete reverse of events. The animation is as ever colourful and the background art is suitably fluid, and the music is perfect, action-enhancing, full of energy and very dynamic especially when Donald loses his temper. The story is simple and perhaps familiar territory yet crisp and always fun, almost a nice mix of Self Control and Modern Inventions. As for the two characters, Donald is as temperamental and likable as ever, and Daisy matches him in every way, looking remarkably detached as Donald destroys her house yet her temper is almost as bad as his. All in all, a great cartoon, one of my favourites and one of Donald's funniest. 10/10 Bethany Cox
ExplorerDS6789 One fine day, Donald Duck goes to visit his girlfriend, Daisy Duck. Donald is smoking a cigar, which bothers Daisy so she tries to open her window but proves unsuccessful, so Donald volunteers to try. He too cannot get the window open. He heaves and strains and sweats but the window won't budge and in the process, a floorboard hits him in the rear. Donald throws a huge fit, smashing the window, breaking absolutely everything in his wake, almost virtually destroying Daisy's house. By then she had figured out the window had been locked and calmly goes over to unlock it and successfully opens the window, leaving Donald feeling very much like a heel. Daisy declared she would not see Donald again until he learned to control his temper. It all seemed hopeless until Donald came upon an ad from the Tootsberry Institute of Temperism. They sounded like the answer. So in no time at all, the institute dropped off a very important tool that would help Donald on his long road to controlling his temper: an insult machine. This machine's sole purpose was to annoy, anger and irritate. It does just that, by verbally and physically abusing Donald for the next ten minutes and the outcome is: Donald doesn't get angry. He's made it! He rushes over to Daisy's house to introduce his new self. Daisy decided to test him out on the window, which once again proved difficult to open. But he finally got it open, particularly when the pane fell off and smashed him. Daisy now agreed to go out with Donald, however when she shows him her new hat, and he bursts out laughing, Daisy proves that she too has a temper in need of control.Cured Duck. Another very funny Donald Duck short. The funniest part is at the beginning when he throws a temper tantrum, smashing everything in the house and flies around the room on that table. Of course, versions of this cartoon that air on TV omit the scenes of Donald smoking, so I'm assuming the whole beginning to this cartoon is very short. Political correctness is bunk! But anyway, if you're a fan of Donald Duck like I am, then you'll want to check out Cured Duck, celebrating it's 60th anniversary this year! See it today!-
Ron Oliver A Walt Disney DONALD DUCK CartoonDaisy demands that Donald become a CURED DUCK - cured of his ungovernable temper if he wishes to keep seeing her.Any cartoon which has Donald's rages as its main theme has got to be funny, and this one certainly is. The Insult Machine (from the Tootsberry Institute of Temperism) is an inspired creation and worth of inclusion in the Duck's classic MODERN INVENTIONS (1937). Big Roy Williams, later one of the adult members of The Mickey Mouse Club on TV, scripted this film. Clarence Nash gives Donald his unique voice.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by pictures & drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew comic figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a storm of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
