Synopsis

Donald Duck goes to a museum of modern inventions. After getting in without paying, he meets a robot butler who takes Donald's hat every time he sees him. Donald is very annoyed by this and magically fixes himself a new hat every time this happens and strolls on. Ignoring the sign not to touch it, Donald starts playing with a wrapping machine and ends up being wrapped himself. He also encounters and tries out a robot nursemaid and a fully automatic barber chair. They both don't do him much good.

Jesper Brun Watched this recently after so many years! Still makes me laugh! Donald Duck is one of my favourites of the classic Disney characters with his short temper and funny voice. And seeing him entering this museum of modern inventions is a whole lot of fun. He is welcomed by this robot butler who asks him for his hat, but Donals just puts on a new one. That's a hilarious running gag through the short. How Donald ends up in trouble when he interacts with the inventions in the museum is just as funny as you can think. Love this Donald Duck short. Good laugh every time.
OllieSuave-007 Donald Duck visits a modern inventions museum, where he runs into a wide range of unique machines, including a robotic butler, an automatic baby carriage and a mechanized barber and shoe-shiner. However, Donald realized that he has gotten more than he bargained for in visiting the place when the butler starts taking every hat Donald wears, the baby carriage feeds Donald too much milk and the barber doesn't quite cut Donald's hair like it was supposed to. Donald doesn't quite following directions like the "do not touch" signs at the museum and the butler taking every single hat he has hidden in his clothes; he would stick he should leave his hat off while inside the museum.This cartoon consists of classic Donald humor, from his quacky voice to his frustrated innuendos. It's just funny seeing everything going wrong for him at the museum as the resulting mishaps pile on one after the other.It's obvious that Donald is prone to bad luck, but they are just hilariously portrayed here! Grade A-
crosswalkx I have seen Donald Duck in Modern Inventions. Donald Duck scams his way without paying into the Museum of Modern Marvels. He looks at the machines and meets a robot butler who takes many of his hat by force. But Donald Duck makes a new one appear by magic.Donald Duck tries out the machines on display from the hitchhikers aid kit which a robot pokes his eyes, he gets himself wrapped in the package by a machine.He also goes in the robotic baby crib with the robot maids voice, he plays and acts like a baby and has a bottle of milk squirted all over his face, he tries to escape but the machine locks him with a metal clamp, the toy hits his face. Then the machine puts a diaper on him.Finally Donald Duck sees a barber machine and decides to get a haircut. He actives the machine with his coin. The robot chair then flips Donald upside down with his head locked in the shoe shiner while his feathery rear end is locked in the chair. The machine mistakes Donald's butt for his head and his face for shining shoes. The machine cuts and combs Donald's tail feathers and putting a hot towel on it turning his butt red, while his face is being brushed and painted all black.After the machine is done Donald Duck has a shined black face and a combed rear end. The robot takes Donalds last hat and Donald throws a temper tantrum.This was one of the silliest and most embarrassing Donald Duck cartoon I've ever seen, having a black face while getting a rear end haircut when he doesn't wear pants. I even wonder if he ever had his face washed off, Or even got a new hat.You can find this on the Walt Disney Treasury Donald Duck Volume 1 or you can watch the video online for free. It's one of the most famous Donald Duck cartoons ever.Did Donald Duck ever wash off the black shoe shine off his face and did he ever get all of his hats back from the robot butler, I want to see a sequel as this ended in a cliffhanger. There should be an action figure of Donald Duck with a black painted face and hairstyle rear end with the pig tail or Donald Duck wearing different hats or wearing a diaper as depicted in the cartoon.
rbverhoef Donald Duck in his first single appearance. He visits a museum of modern inventions. He is not supposed to touch anything but of course he does. The use of the modern inventions are quite funny. The most funny thing is a robot who keeps asking Donald for his hat. Donald put on a new one and there the robot is again. Very funny. 7/10.
