Donald's Dilemma is a Classic Disney Short from 1947. It is a Donald Duck short starring Daisy Duck.The short begins with Daisy talking to her therapist about why she needs help. Several months ago, her boyfriend Donald was hit on the head with a flower pot and became an amnesiac. Suddenly able to sing amazingly, and with no recollection of her, Donald begins his career as a singer. As Donald quickly rises to stardom, Daisy becomes a suicidal wreck. All her attempts to see Donald fail. With nowhere to turn, Daisy begins seeing a psychiatrist. Daisy's therapist's advice is to reverse the amnesia by smashing another flower pot onto Donald's head. It works, Donald loses his singing voice, and Daisy is reunited with her boyfriend. | |
