Donald takes a kayak trip. When he gets to his campsite, he unloads the kayak, fights with his folding chair, and goes to sleep. Meanwhile, the chipmunks of the forest (precursors of Chip 'n Dale), attracted by his squawking, make off with the huge pile of food he carelessly unloaded. They get the attention of a bear, who Donald is soon battling.

Donald gets his hands full from struggling to put together a folding chair, dealing with chipmunks stealing his food, and grappling with a fierce bear. Donald's facial expressions of frustration was hilarious and his never-ending misadventures makes you sympathetic to him. Would have like to see him give those animals a taste of their own medicine more, though.Grade B-
In this cartoon, Donald Duck is in vacations and all he wants to do is just relax and enjoy the pure nature, its peace, its beauty, its environment...He hoped his wish would come true. But it doesn't take long until he continually chases a chipmunk that is bothering him and soon he gets in trouble with a large bear. Donald is an expert when it comes to get in trouble with big wild animals. Donald should work in a zoo and take care of the wild animals. They'd surely get used to him :DGenerally speaking, this is a nice cartoon, with amusement, classic humor, adventure and the hilarious Donald Duck. Artwork is good either. Plus, the opening credits of the Donald Duck's cartoons always crack me up because the lyrics refer to him and we always hear him getting mad.
Donald is on vacation in what appears to the a forest in the Pacific Northwest. His boat doubles as a tent (why does Donald need a boat? He's a duck!) and is stuffed with supplies of every kind. One of which is a cryptic folding deck chair.As Donald naps on this difficult contraption a bunch of very cute chipmunk come along and steal his picnic (a really clichéd cartoon gag, but at least it's not thieving ants this time). Donald, obvious infuriated by such theft chases them but only ends up enraging a local bear and fleeing his camp for good. It's funny but I have no idea why Donald complains that the chipmunks have no respect for humans when Donald isn't one. And besides, he's invading THEIR space.
A Walt Disney DONALD DUCK Cartoon.DONALD'S VACATION alongside a mountain river is immediately upset by a voracious swarm of chipmunks & a ferocious bear.This is a very enjoyable little film, with first-rate animation. The opening sequence, with Donald canoeing along the river, dodging waterfalls & making music with his guitar, is especially fine. Clarence "Ducky" Nash shows what an integral component he was in Donald's cinematic success - his vocalizations here are excellent.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, Bambi, Peter Pan and Mr. Toad. 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.
