Toon Legends: Clock Cleaners (1937)

 Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, & Goofy are "Clock Cleaners", a legendary short in its own right, currently available for streaming on Disney+.


Donald's incomprehensible speech nearly got Disney in some trouble in the 90's.

Rev. Donald Wildmon and his American Family Association, a group of media nannies from Mississippi, convinced Walmart to pull some VHS compilations that included "Cleaners", claiming that Donald (Clarence Nash) did some swearing, but while Disney reissued the film with altered dialogue to appease Wildmon and his ilk, it's clear that this is not the case, and the original print has since turned up on DVD, as well as on Disney+.

Rating: A.
