I have seen Donald Duck in Modern Inventions. Donald Duck scams his way without paying into the Museum of Modern Marvels. He looks at the machines and meets a robot butler who takes many of his hat by force. But Donald Duck makes a new one appear by magic.Donald Duck tries out the machines on display from the hitchhikers aid kit which a robot pokes his eyes, he gets himself wrapped in the package by a machine.He also goes in the robotic baby crib with the robot maids voice, he plays and acts like a baby and has a bottle of milk squirted all over his face, he tries to escape but the machine locks him with a metal clamp, the toy hits his face. Then the machine puts a diaper on him.Finally Donald Duck sees a barber machine and decides to get a haircut. He actives the machine with his coin. The robot chair then flips Donald upside down with his head locked in the shoe shiner while his feathery rear end is locked in the chair. The machine mistakes Donald's butt for his head and his face for shining shoes. The machine cuts and combs Donald's tail feathers and putting a hot towel on it turning his butt red, while his face is being brushed and painted all black.After the machine is done Donald Duck has a shined black face and a combed rear end. The robot takes Donalds last hat and Donald throws a temper tantrum.This was one of the silliest and most embarrassing Donald Duck cartoon I've ever seen, having a black face while getting a rear end haircut when he doesn't wear pants. I even wonder if he ever had his face washed off, Or even got a new hat.You can find this on the Walt Disney Treasury Donald Duck Volume 1 or you can watch the video online for free. It's one of the most famous Donald Duck cartoons ever.Did Donald Duck ever wash off the black shoe shine off his face and did he ever get all of his hats back from the robot butler, I want to see a sequel as this ended in a cliffhanger. There should be an action figure of Donald Duck with a black painted face and hairstyle rear end with the pig tail or Donald Duck wearing different hats or wearing a diaper as depicted in the cartoon.

I really liked this cartoon, it is inventive and very funny. The animation is nice and colourful, though the character animation of the robots was a little stiff. And the cartoon does start off a little slow. The music is top notch, very playful and pleasant. Donald is as cantankerous as ever, especially when voiced by Clarence "Ducky" Nash, who captures the character perfectly.On the whole, the cartoon is very funny, from the ongoing joke about the robot(voiced by Billy Bletcher, original voice of Pete) taking Donald's hats, to the part when Donald disguises himself as a baby and gets more than he bargained for. Modern Inventions is an inventive and fun cartoon, and for fans of the cantankerous quack, this is definitely worth the watch. 8/10 Bethany Cox

In this 9-minute cartoon, Donald enters a museum exhibiting the latest inventions, such as robot butlers, robot hitchhikers, robot nannies, robot barber chairs...basically all robot stuff. And still, 70 years later, we have no robots. Weird.Anyway, Donald, being as irritable as he is, quickly becomes angered by the inventions and ends up getting slapped around and tormented in the usual ways. It serves him right for scamming himself into the museum for free. It's funny without being thigh-slappingly hilarious. And some of the robots will probably remind you of Bender and his pals from Futurama.

A Walt Disney DONALD DUCK Cartoon.A marvelous collection of MODERN INVENTIONS contrive to give Donald a very bad day.This is a wonderful little film, full of good humor & topnotch animation. The robotic butler (voiced by Billy Bletcher) and its penchant for appropriating headgear is especially funny. This was Donald's first solo star assignment and it also marked the arrival of the legendary Carl Barks as a story writer for the Duck's films. For the record, Donald runs foul of four inventions in the Museum Of Modern Marvels (the Hitch-Hiker's Aid, the Automatic Bundle-Wrapper, the Robot Nurse Maid and the hilarious Barber Chair - voiced by Cliff Edwards) while being deprived of six various hats (his sailor's cap, a silk top hat, a Napoleon cocked hat, a Civil War military cap, a baby bonnet and a derby) Clarence "Ducky" Nash supplies Donald's unique voice.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by 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 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 blizzard 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 simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
