Donald's Dream Voice is a 1948 American animated short film featuring Donald Duck, the film was directed by Jack Hannah and produced by Walt Disney.[1] In the short film, no one understands a word that salesman Donald says, so he takes voice pills to improve his speech.
Donald the salesman has a problem where he fails to sell brushes throughout the neighbourhood, because no one can understand what he says. At Daisy Duck's house, Daisy reassures Donald and tells him she believes in him.
Finally, he finds a solution to clear his voice: taking a voice pill, leading to a massive increase in his brush sales.
The pill increases Donald's confidence too and makes him eager to ask Daisy to marry him. After he sells all the brushes, he loses the pills along the way, leaving him only one. Then he goes back to Daisy's house, just as his new voice reverts to his old voice. When he tries to take the pill, it falls to the ground and bounces away from him and he starts following it.
Donald chases the pill through the streets and onto the hat of a particularly large and irritable sewer worker, and then it finally ends up in the mouth of a cow, which causes her to talk in a clear and polite male voice, with Donald taunting her for his last pill. The cow, however, can't understand Donald's voice, causing Donald to lose his temper.
The short was released on December 11, 2007, on Walt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald, Volume Three: 1947-1950.[2]
