Mr. Duck Steps Out

Mr. Duck Steps Out (1940) is a classic Disney animated short you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Jack King. Donald Duck is visiting Daisy for what looks like their first official date. Eight minutes of screen time — plenty, you'd think, for a quiet afternoon call.

Huey, Dewey, and Louie follow their uncle and immediately start competing with him for Daisy's attention, each trying to out-dance the others in a running jitterbug duel. The gag lands when Donald eats corn that pops inside him, turning him into an involuntary dancing machine. It's one of the stranger comic inventions in the early Disney catalogue.
