Admiral Byrd ships Donald a penguin from the South Pole. Donald is amused by it, until he thinks it has eaten his goldfish. It hasn't - yet - so Donald gets a fish from the fridge to make amends. When he comes back, though, he's got a reason to be upset with the penguin.

Oh, boy! It is goes without saying that this cartoon was pretty creative and warm, Donald and the penguin Tootsie doubtlessly have some conflicts, like the goldfish problems, really, Donald even try to kill the penguin with his long gun, until Donald's conscience hurt and decided to stop that move, which happened to the gun fall down and shoot the back of the house, Donald seen full of regretness and want to cry with no tears, and when the penguin reappeared, and a fully relieved and hysterical Donald hugged his lovable penguin and the final scene seen pretty touched and harmony.Overall, it's pretty funny with gags and stuff, pretty well and touched.Oh!

Donald's Penguin (1939) ** 1/2 (out of 4)Donald receives a package, which happens to be a penguin named Tootsie. Soon Donald is trying to teach him a few things but when he thinks the penguin has eaten his goldfish things turn bad.DONALD'S PENGUIN isn't the greatest Disney short ever produced and it's not even one of the best from the Donald series. If you're a fan of Donald then I'm sure you'll still want to check it out but there's really nothing too special on display here. The highlight is certainly Donald's reaction to thinking his goldfish have been eaten. As you'd expect the animation itself is quite good but there just aren't enough laughs or action to keep the film more entertaining.

Ah, how much I love this cartoon. It is funny and cute if anything. Donald's Penguin also is lovingly animated, with detailed and colourful backgrounds and crisp character features. The music is as is the case with these Disney cartoons is excellent, the scripting is funny and there are some interesting sight gags such as the goldfish disappearing suddenly. The characters featured are engaging, Donald, superlatively voiced by Clarence "Ducky" Nash, is as cantankerous as ever. But in a rare case, he is almost upstaged by none other than Tootsie, who is one of the most adorable penguins I have seen in anything to do with animation. Also some lively chemistry between Donald and Tootsie and a simple but effective story.Overall, sweet and entertaining! 10/10 Bethany Cox

Donald Duck is my favorite Disney character and this is one of favorite shorts from the 1930s era of Donald's cartoon career. In this short, Donald doesn't get an ostrich like in "Donald's Ostrich", but a penguin. I have ordered "The Chronological Donald Duck #1" on DVD from Amazon.ca, and this short is on it. Like most theatrical shorts I've watched, it's both cute and funny at the same time.The funny parts is when Tootsie the penguin woke up with a start and slaps Donald on the face. I also love it when ever Donald turns around, the fishes disappear suddenly. The sweet part is when Donald just can't shoot Tootsie, for eating the fishes. And when the gun accidentally fell and blasted the wall, Donald thought the gun shot Tootsie and looks for her. But she was really hiding in the closet, Donald found her and all was forgiven.
