    Is it just me, or does “Donald Duck” sound just like Katharine Hepburn here? He’s got himself a shiny new badge and is on the look out for school dodgers when he finds his three nephews frolicking in the pool. He swiftly apprehends them but suffice to say they are not going to go willingly and are soon besieged inside their den thwarting all of their uncle’s efforts. Whatever wheeze he comes up with, they have a plan - they even have three oven-ready turkeys and loads of self-raising flower! It’s good fun this one, with plenty of imaginative action and mischief right from the start and it’s even money throughout as to who might come out on top.

The Night Before Christmas

A narrator sings the opening stanzas of the classic poem while we see the house at rest. Santa lands on the roof, comes down the chimney, and opens his bag. The toys march out and decorate the tree, with the toy soldiers shooting balls from their cannon, a toy airplane stringing a garland like skywriting, and the toy firemen applying snow. A blimp delivers the star to the top. Meanwhile, Santa fills the stockings. His laughter awakens the children, who sneak out. The toys rush to their places, and Santa escapes up the chimney just in time.
