"The strangeness of this film is laced with carefully moulded apocalypses as the filmmaker explores a vision of life beyond death – the Elysian fields of Homer, Dante’s Purgatorio, de Chirico’s stitched plain. A moving single picture. Evolving the structure or script for the film involved a process of controlled hallucination, whereby I sat quietly without moving, looking at the background until the pieces began to move without my inventing things for them to do. I found that, given the chance, they really did have important business to attend to, and my job was to furnish them with the power of motion. I never deviated from this plan." —Canyon Cinema

In this Donald Duck cartoon, the Donald is a keeper of a lighthouse. Upon seeing a pelican sleeping outside the tower, Donald decides to have a little fun and shines the light on the bird. After moving its nest a few times, the bird caught onto Donald's scheme and does battle with him. What results is plenty of back and forth between the characters, with Donald insisting the lighthouse stays lit while the pelican keeps blowing out the fire.The funniest scene I thought was when Donald attempts to read a book quickly as the lighthouse's light circles by. The rest of the cartoon was pretty predictable with the excessive back and forth between the two characters, but at least Donald didn't get the brunt of all the bad luck.Grade B-

'Lighthouse Keeping' stars Donald Duck as a... lighthouse keeper. He is trying to read but the light in the lighthouse is spinning around so that plan does not really work out. To fill his time he starts annoying an pelican by shining the light on the animal. Of course the pelican is not happy and he tries to turn off the light. The battle between Donald and the pelican has started.This average Disney cartoon has some nice moments but it is not that great. It is watchable and worth watching once. The music is something that makes the cartoon better; it fits the action perfectly. The ending is good as well, better than the cartoon deserves.

A Walt Disney DONALD DUCK Cartoon.Instead of tending to his LIGHTHOUSE KEEPING, Donald makes the big mistake of annoying a nearby Pelican who's trying to sleep.The Duck meets a bird who's quite capable of fighting back in this otherwise routine little film. Clarence "Ducky" Nash supplies Donald's squeaky voice.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, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. 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.

Nothing all that memorable or fascinating in this one, which is a by-the-numbers effort from Disney. Well animated, to be sure, but as for plot and action, it's in the "been there, seen that" category and doesn't really bring much to the table. Worth seeing once, but not terribly good, bad or indifferent-it simply is, which is kind of sad, in a way.
