Crazy Over Daisy (1950)

Expected more

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This is a nice assortment of characters in this short, with Donald battling it out with Chip N' Dale again, this time with Daisy along with the ride. Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy also make cameos.

If you take a look at the people who made this 6.5-minute cartoon "Crazy Over Daisy", you will find many names that were enjoying prolific and successful careers long before and after this movie. Lets just mention the name of Donald Duck voice actor Clarence Nash here and if you know a bit about cartoons and the Golden Age of Animation, then I'm sure you know what I mean. This little movie here had its 65th anniversary already, so it is really very old. And while I like many Disney works, I must say that this one here has not aged too well. Donald is on his bike paying Daisy a visit when he is made fun of by Chip and Dale. Not willing to take the mocking, he catches them (yep he does it this time) and gets them inside the wheels of his bike. When he arrives at Daisy, she does not like at all what she sees and accuses Donald of violence against these little (in her eyes) harmless animals. I had some problems with this short color cartoon. First of all what is up with the ducks' hair, even if that was just a minor issue. Donald looked like Scrooge here. And also story-wise, it frequently did not make that much sense really, to a degree where this being a cartoon is no longer explanation enough. Plus, are there any likable characters in here at all? Donsld may come the closest. Overall, I would say the wit, creativity and entertainment factor are all not on a level here where I would recommend checking it out. The main theme was okay, but that isn't enough. This was way below Disney's best, even if we are only looking at short cartoons. Thumbs down.

This is yet another Donald Duck/Chip 'n' Dale cartoon that I love. Not my favourite by all means, but one that amuses me every time I see it. Crazy Over Donald I remember for chiefly its wonderful music and irresistibly catchy title song. But that's not the only outstanding asset. The animation is typically beautiful, with the colour palette especially sumptuous. The story is crisply paced, sometimes cute and always fun and engaging, and the gags especially in the middle of the cartoon are very funny. Chip 'n' Dale may have a sweet and harmless look to them, but some of their actions show that they can be anything but. Donald takes the laughs well, he is funny and cantankerous and looks very dapper here, but I couldn't help feeling sorry for him at the end. Daisy is beautiful but one not to mess with. Overall, for the music and title song, Crazy Over Daisy is great. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Donald is not one of my personal favorites as far as characters go. He's too obnoxious and abrasive for my tastes. But here, I actually find him a sympathetic character. He's treated badly throughout and scores one victory, only to have it destroyed through the ignorance of righteous indignation that is misplaced and mis-aimed. Donald gave Chip an' Dale treatment more along the lines of what they deserved than Daisy does and a smart duck would bid her a firm adieu and never bother with her again. But this is Donald, so that definitely won't happen here, of course! Very funny short and well worth tracking down. Recommended.
