Golden Eggs is a 1941 American animated short film directed by Wilfred Jackson and produced by Walt Disney, featuring Donald Duck.^[1]

Summary

Donald reads a newspaper that the eggs' value is really high and the price amount is increased. Donald thinks that he could get rich. He goes into the hen-house and changes the music from the record player. While the hens are dancing and popping their eggs out, Donald collects them and puts theminto a huge basket.

Unfortunately, a rooster standing guard reveals Donald and kicks him out. Donald is trying to avoid the rooster, so he disguises himself as a hen. He is mistaken for the rooster's love interest. They dance together, but unfortunately, Donald's disguise falls off. With the rubber glove comb constantly coming loose and a caterpillar falling down the back of his suite is ever at the risk of being discovered.

Reception

The Film Daily called the short a "funny cartoon", saying, "Donald runs afoul of the rooster, boss of the barnyard, and is a sadder and wiser man before the rooster finishes with him."^[2]
