Contrary Condor

Contrary Condor is a 1944 Donald Duck short film by Walt Disney Productions and RKO Radio Pictures.

Although Mother Condor tries to save her "hatchling", she believes it to be too late when it falls into the river, and she starts sobbing on the nearby bank.

Relieved to see him still alive, Mother Condor gathers Donald and the egg into her arms and coddles them.

Rick DeMott on Animation World Network writes: "Produced in the same year as Disney's second Latin American feature The Three Caballeros, this Andres-set comedy is actually more humorous than any section of Donald's work in the full-length film.

In our more PC age, the idea of Donald stealing eggs for fun is less than sympathetic, but the trouble that ensues gives the baby-snatching duck what he has coming to him I suppose.
