Or alternatively camping chaos. "Good Scouts" is an Oscar--nominated Disney cartoon from 1938, so this one will have its 80th anniversary next year and it is one of the works from the Golden Age of Animation. It came out briefly before the beginning of the World War II and if you need evidence of how much everybody loved Disney at that time, then a look at the Cartoon Category at the 1939 Oscars is enough. 4 out of 5 (including the winner) nominees were by Disney. This one here has everybody's favorite duck Donald go hiking with the nephews. I thought it was at its best early on. The music at the very beginning is so contagious that you really wanna be with these guys. Yes, even with Donald. And the petrified tree scene is perhaps the comedy highlight from this cartoon, also great build-up until Donald finally makes use of his ax. It does get a bit worse, but the bear and geyser scenes aren't that bad either. All in all this 8 minute cartoon (1 minute longer than they usually were) is not one of best or worse by Disney and starring Donald Duck. I recommend checking it out.
