Synopsis

Come along with Donald Duck as he visits one of nature's masterpieces. After a little ragtime rain dance, Donald strikes up a conversation with himself at Echo Cliff, then teeters along the edge of a precarious trail while riding a sure-footed burrow. It's a tough job for park ranger J. Audubon Woodlore to keep Donald in check, but it gets even tougher when they run afoul of a napping mountain lion.

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
OllieSuave-007 Ranger J. Audubon Woodlore takes Donald Duck and others people on a tour of the Grand Canyon - displayed here in wonderful, detailed animation. While the ranger is busy giving the tourists a run-down of the canyon, Donald does his share of being a little too overzealous in his trip, bothering Native sand painters, doing a rain dance outfit and arguing with his own echo. Pretty hilarious! What results next is Donald and the Ranger stumble upon a mountain lion, who chases them around the landmark, resulting in funny slapstick humor and ultimately reducing the attraction to a pile of rubble. Some excitement and action in this cartoon short - not a bad one.Grade B-
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) It is actually not too common that you know exactly where these 7-minutes Disney/Warner Bros. cartoons are set. Usually they play outside, but that's all we know. This Disney movie here is an exception in terms of that as you already know from the title. Donald is in the Grand Canyon area, but just won't start listening to the guide and constantly causes trouble, mostly to himself, but also to the guide. We see several local animals, even some pretty much extinct one for that area and Donald causes mayhem wherever he goes. I thought, this was fairly weak for Disney standards. A smartly animated comedic scene here and there, but compared to other films from the 1950s, also by Disney, it falls flat. Nichols, Schaffer and George have done better on many occasions. Not recommended, or only for the biggest Donald lovers like myself
Space_Mafune Donald Duck is a tourist visiting the Grand Canyon who gives the tour's guide fits due to his continuous shenanigans including an encounter with an ill-tempered old lion.This cartoon short is diverting enough in its goofy slapstick fashion only really I wonder if it really needed Donald Duck as its lead at all. In fact, this one seems better suited to Goofy himself to me as really there's no point here where we see Donald Duck's temper rise, which is usually said character's most entertaining aspect. Honestly most any character could have probably fit into the role which makes one wonder if they just didn't pick a popular character's name out of an hat to use for this one.
movieman_kev This 6 minute and 51 second cartoon starring Donald Duck can be found on the first disc of the 2-dvd set of "20,000 Leaques under the Sea". As the first Disney animated short shot in Cinemascope to compliment their first movie to be shot the same way, this has Donald Duck being a pain in the backside to a hapless grand canyon tour guide. And for what it is, is pretty good. Although I think that it might have been edited to make it more P.C. which would be a shame as changing scenes only taints the heritage that we could gain in seeing the original version. As such, I can't give this a great score.My Grade: C+
