Honky-Donkey

Available on BLU-RAY & DVD:

Wally is a brat kid who, after waving goodbye to his mother, instructs (Don) Barclay, his personal chauffeur to take him on a ride through some alleys. They stop at a back yard where a group of boys are entertaining themselves with a donkey (!) Stymie puts Buckwheat on a chair, which is then pushed around in a circle by the animal. Wally wants to join in the fun....

Trivia • Copyrighted May 25, 1934. • Film #129 in the series. • Some sources list Bess Flowers as the maid. This is incorrect. • The donkey's name is Algebra. It is voiced by Mickey Daniels. • The guy on the bicycle who crashes into the post box was previously thought to be Pete Gordon. He is in fact Russell Custer. • The scene where the cop stops the car in the street and asks Don Barclay about the mule takes place outside a shop that has the sign "Honolulu Steamship Co." in its windows. This is a reference to Laurel & Hardy's Sons Of The Desert (1933).
