Fall Out Fall In (1943)

Fall Out Fall In Review

Fall Out Fall In is a 1943 animated short film from the Donald Duck series. It is a solid cartoon.

Private Donald goes through difficult times during the training march and later setting up his tent. This is another Donald in the Army short, but not among the best ones. The animation in this film is very strong, especially the nighttime sequence and the duck’s tired, swollen eyes. The attention to detail is great. The movie is very fun in that particular sequence and it ended very well.

But the remainder of the flick is rather forgettable. It’s basically an army montage with Donald being funny and clumsy. But the movie needed more conflict and additional characters for Donald to play off of. This way, it felt rather slight and underwritten. It’s charming watch, but it needed more substance.

Fall Out Fall In is gorgeously animated and it features a solid ending, but the rest of the cartoon is thinly plotted and forgettable.

My Rating – 3.6
