Canvas Back Duck is a 1953 Walt Disney animated short film starring Donald Duck, his nephews, and Pete.[1]
Plot
[edit]Donald Duck and his nephews visit a carnival. While they play games, Donald is tricked by a shifty barker into fighting "Pee Wee Pete" (Pegleg Pete), a truculent bruiser who significantly outweighs Donald. In spite of help from his nephews, the situation looks desperate for Donald, until his fist accidentally connects with Pete's jaw, which breaks as a visual gag for him having a glass jaw and he collapses to the canvas out cold. Donald wins the prize money and exits the carnival triumphantly with his nephews.
