The Wise Little Hen	comment	The Wise Little Hen is a 1934 animated short film from Disney, directed by Jack King and based on the Fable "The Little Red Hen". Part of its Silly Symphonies series, it is famous for introducing Donald Duck to the Disney franchise.The Wise Little Hen of the title is looking for someone to help her plant her corn for the winter, going to the houses of Peter Pig and Donald Duck for help. Much to her dismay, they both feign belly aches to get out of the chore, preferring to play. So, with help from her chicks, she plants it herself.Harvest time comes, and the hen visits Peter and Donald to their clubhouse for help. Once again, they fake being sick. As she was about to leave, the hen sees through their faÃ§ade when the boards of their clubhouse fall off, showing them shaking hands with each other happily. Upon wising up to their tricks, she and her chicks wink at each other, knowing what to do with Peter and Donald later.She cooks up a tantalizing assortment of corn dishes, and heads over to Peter and Donald to ask them to help her eat them. Before she can open her mouth, they already fake their belly aches. Once she asks them to help her eat the corn, they snap out of their faÃ§ade and are excited to eat. As they fight to eat it, they discover that all they got is castor oil instead of corn. As they witness the hen and her chicks eat the corn themselves, with no intention to give any of it away, Peter and Donald repent with all their might by kicking each other in the rump.
