      Isn't it weird how Disney owns the rights the Howard the Duck after the Marvel buyout? Think about it, Howard the Duck started out as Marvel's rip-off of Donald Duck's comic books, and now Disney owns the rights to their own rip-off. I know Howard can stand on his own, and he's not like a poorly made rip-off, but what a time to be alive where weird things like that can happen, right?

      According to the nephews backstory, their hijinks ultimately killed their father (or just sent him tragically to the hospital), and pre2017 Ducktales had their mom, Della, send the nephews to live with their Uncle Donald for a while. 2017 Ducktales “solved mysteries and rewrote history,” by having young Donald and Della live with their Uncle Scrooge for the very same reason.

    Suggestion: Donald's Dilemma.
    A blow to the head gives Donald a fantastic singing voice. He becomes a instant star, forgetting all about Daisy. Daisy ends up having a mental break down to the point where she attempts suicide several times. Those particular scenes were eventually edited out.
    Daisy tries and tries to see Donald, but continually fails. She ends up seeing a psychiatrist.

    Hey, Doug.
    I myself remember this Donald Duck cartoon, and I actually loved it for how funny it is. Although, I didn't really see how dark and messed-up it was of Hewy, Dewy, and Louis to make Donald think he died until years later. And all because Donald tried to make them wash themselves up before dinner.
    Hewy, Dewy, and Louis were such little shits! LOL!
    Nevertheless, I still love this Donald Duck cartoon. Although, I first remember seeing it on a old Disney special called "Kids is Kids" involving Professor Ludwig Von Drake. This one was on it. In some scenes, I always think of Ludwig Von Drake added comments in the angel like "Goodbye, sucker!", "An angel? He'll never get in." and "Yikes! TIMBER!!!!". LOL! Oh, what get memories!

    OMG, thank you, Doug, for bringing this up.
    I haven't seen this Cartoon in at least a 20 Years.
    This was the very first Donald Duck Cartoon I've ever seen over here in Germany.
    It had a very lasting Impact on me and my Brother, since we both fell in Love with Donald Duck and the entire Duck-Family.
    It was one of the first VHS-Cassettes we got from our Neighbor about 1997 or 1998. I actually don't remember if this was dubbed english or german, since we did not understand a single Word - it's Donald after all. Yet we still got what happened and we loved it.
    To us it was not that dark, since we both did not know Donald Duck and had nothing to compare it to, and - as I said - we grew up in Germany.
    Ever read a traditional german Fairytail or Kids-Story? They're so bloody and so messed up, you'll love'em. As Children however, they'll scar you for life. If you wonder, why many Germans have no humor at all - that's why! We've got all humanity and Emotions sucked out of our Souls as Children and are left behind dull burocrats. Very sad!
    Anyways: I really enjoy of your Dark Toon Episodes and espacially this one! It brought back a lot of long gone Memories - some should have been gone, but you can't always get what you want - still, thank you very much!
    Love and Chills from Midnight-Germany!

      Chalk that up to Disney's rule about how Mickey, Donald, and Goofy should never exhibit animal characteristics. The idea is that the audience finds them more identifiable if, for all intents and purposes, they act exactly like human characters would. So you never see Mickey eating cheese, or Donald flying, or anything like that. And occasionally, you get weird little carnivorous moments like this 😆

    The name of the cartoon is “Play Safe”. It’s about this little kid that plays on the train tracks, gets knocked out and enters this dream world where he plays around with this sentient train that nearly kills him. His pet dog saves him by getting him off the tracks in time before an ACTUAL train runs him over. There’s a lot of dark and creative imagery in the whole dream sequence, especially in the designs of the trains, the mountains, and the stalagmites in the caves. If this cartoon’s been requested already or if you already know about this cartoon, either way, just glad I get the word out. As a fan and lover of the art of animation, keep up with the series!🤘🤘🤘

    You should totally do "The Case of The Stuttering Pig" directed by Frank Tashlin for how cinematic the Looney Tunes short is
    And how well it is as a homage to Universal Monster Films.
