Golden Eggs does have a somewhat predictable story, but it is a fun Donald Duck cartoon that leaves me smiling. The animation is very good for its time, with lovely backgrounds and colours. Another delight was the music, it is rousing and beautiful like in most Silly Symphonies. I love a good score in films, TV shows and cartoons, and this is no exception. The jokes are good, very funny if like the story a little on the predictable side. The voice acting from Clarence "Ducky" Nash as Donald and Florence Gill as the hens is top notch as always, Nash rarely disappoints when he voices Donald. As for Donald himself, he isn't as cantankerous as he is in the cartoons with him and his nephews, but he is funny. The barn rooster is a fun supporting character too, and the little caterpillar is sweet. Overall, puts a smile on my face no matter how predictable it is. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Clarence Nash & Florence Gill had never sounded SO good like in this Donald Duck cartoon. In this cartoon, Donald has read in the paper that the price of eggs "sky-rocket" to 85 cents a dozen. Sure it might not much today, but I it must have been a lot back then. So he decide to harvest eggs from the hen-house for profit. But not when a protective rooster's on watch. So Donald tries disguising himself as a hen.I love this cartoon, it is one of my favorite Donald shorts from 1941. I love it when Donald flips the record from slow "Lazy Daze" music to "Hot Stuff" jitter-bug music to speed up production (with eggs 85 cents). And also when he first encounters the rooster while zipping back and forth putting eggs in the basket. It is also funny to see Donald as a hen, and it's amazing that Clarence "Ducky" Nash could cluck like a chicken in his Donald voice.Donald is the first duck to be masquerading in the guise of a chicken, because it was also done in a Daffy Duck cartoon "You were never Duckier", but in a different situation.

As I can't help nitpicking I do find it a little odd that Donald Duck, who is himself a bird, keeps loads of hens. In this cartoon he learns of the skyrocketing price of eggs (there must be a shortage of hens then) and rushes out to the barn to prompt them into laying loads of them with some upbeat music.But the barn Rooster has other ideas and insists that the eggs stay put. Why would Donald allow the Rooster to push him around so much? And why would the Rooster really care what Donald does with the eggs? It's not like he's going to be doing much with them himself. Despite these moans, the cartoon is very funny and Donald's irritable, persistent personality mixes well with the hijinks.

Donald Duck is reading the paper and finds out that he gets 85 cents per a dozen of eggs. He goes to the chickens and collects as many eggs as he can carry but the rooster gets a little mad. To find his way to the eggs without getting caught by the rooster Donald dresses up like a chicken. The rooster falls instantly in love with Donald and some nice sequences follow.A pretty funny short, especially after Donald has dressed up as a chicken. Although some of the jokes are pretty predictable they will make you smile. Worth a watch.
