Producer: Walt Disney.Copyright 18 March 1949 by Walt Disney Productions. A Walt Disney "Donald Duck" cartoon, released through RKO Radio Pictures. 1 reel.COMMENT: Delightfully set in period, this is certainly an amusing variant on the duck-chipmunk encounters. By Disney standards, the pace is remarkably fast, and there are even some bright visual gags. Although he is needlessly allowed one touch of gratuitous cruelty, Donald emerges with a fair degree of audience sympathy. It's hard not to take to a character who tries to outrun a cannonball on a penny farthing.

One of my favourite Donald Duck cartoons. The gags are spot-on here, right from the beginning with Donald destroying Daisy's house, Donald taking the radio's insults to help control his temper and especially the fun ending involving Daisy, a ridiculous-looking hat and a complete reverse of events. The animation is as ever colourful and the background art is suitably fluid, and the music is perfect, action-enhancing, full of energy and very dynamic especially when Donald loses his temper. The story is simple and perhaps familiar territory yet crisp and always fun, almost a nice mix of Self Control and Modern Inventions. As for the two characters, Donald is as temperamental and likable as ever, and Daisy matches him in every way, looking remarkably detached as Donald destroys her house yet her temper is almost as bad as his. All in all, a great cartoon, one of my favourites and one of Donald's funniest. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This is a good short it teaches a lesson on how to control ones temper,in this short donald plays a cartoon teenager called KATIE KA-BOOM but does not say i am not over reacting i am a teenager nor does he transform into a monster also there is a scene where donald drives through a garage and on top of the garage there was a sign saying ACME very odd since that can be found in warner brother cartoons.

A Walt Disney DONALD DUCK CartoonDaisy demands that Donald become a CURED DUCK - cured of his ungovernable temper if he wishes to keep seeing her.Any cartoon which has Donald's rages as its main theme has got to be funny, and this one certainly is. The Insult Machine (from the Tootsberry Institute of Temperism) is an inspired creation and worth of inclusion in the Duck's classic MODERN INVENTIONS (1937). Big Roy Williams, later one of the adult members of The Mickey Mouse Club on TV, scripted this film. Clarence Nash gives Donald his unique voice.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by pictures & drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew comic figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a storm of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
