Reviews and Comments

From E. Penrose :

The real genius of Disney animation, and the difference between them and, say, Warner Brothers, is in the time and effort allotted for characterization. Donald isn't just Woodlore's problem: he's the complete Ugly American as he bothers a sandpainting Indian who isn't in the final conflict. He even inadvertently dazes the harmless donkey who bears him. Bugs Bunny, vivid as he is, shows only one aspect of his personality at a time.

His personality shows itself mainly through dialogue, and through the motions as he bothers the villain of the piece. Donald's "life" goes beyond what he is doing at the moment.

From Ryan :

This, I believe, is the only short that features Ranger Woodlore and not Humphrey. Instead of working as a ranger in Brownstone National Park, he is a ranger in the Grand Canyon National Park. I enjoy the background art of this short quite a bit. I also like how the ranger tells the tourists to spread out, explaining that this is Cinemascope, which is the process in which this cartoon was filmed. Definitely one of my favorite Disney cartoons of the 1950's.

From Eric Hernandez :

I really liked this short a lot. I laughed when Donald saw an Indian costume when he was browsing past the gift shop and ends up doing a little rain dance. Basically, Donald plays the lone dumb tourist visiting the Grand Canyon, with Ranger Audubon impatiently trying to keep Donald from straying. I really dug the clothes Donald wore in this short, too. They made him look too cool. A very nice short.

From Baruch Weiss :

This is the only cartoon where Ranger Woodlore is not working at Brownstone National Park. Instead he is working as a tour guide at the Grand Canyon while Donald rudely interrupts him at regular intervals. Donald sure got what he deserved after interrupting the ranger, especially when he asks him to take a picture of the burro while he is busy talking.
