Lighthouse Keeping
Directed by Jack Hannah
Produced by Walt Disney Productions
A lighthearted cartoon slapstick comedy built entirely around physical gags and escalating chaos between a frustrated lighthouse keeper and an angry pelican.
Donald is a lighthouse keeper. He shines the light on a sleeping pelican; the angry bird comes into the lighthouse and tries to put out the light. Donald and the bird do battle through the rest of the picture.
