Try and tell me that the wee penguin putting his flippers back in this clip isn’t the cutest thing you’ve ever seen.

    Wonderful–thanks for posting this nostalgic cartoon clip.

  2. Niki Flynn says:

    I’m not convinced. Is there any ornithological evidence to suggest that ducks and penguins flocked together? Where would they meet?

  3. Adele says:

    Daddio – any time :)

    Niki – Humph! Everybody’s a spanking movie critic now.

  4. Niki Flynn says:

    Adele: “Humph!” yourself! I’m just making the case for authenticity. Why would a duck be protecting fish? While we’re on the subject, why is the duck wearing clothes and the penguin is naked? I think it’s exploitative and irresponsible of the filmmakers to encourage violence towards penguins.

  5. Adele says:

    I’m sure the penguin has consented, and signed a suitable model release.

  6. Niki Flynn says:

    You’re sure? Who is the official custodian of records? Can a bird legally give its consent anyway?

  7. Adele says:

    Disney, naturally. And surely, any sentient being can give meaningful consent. Be it a bird or an Eastern European girl. :-P

    I’d like to know how a duck got down to the South Pole, since penguins only live down there.

    Or do they make de-icers for ducks so they can fly in frigid weather?

    Cute clip. I’m reminded of this great observation by Chandler on Friends. “Donald Duck never wears pants but when he gets out of the tub he wraps a towel around his middle. What’s that about?”
