Duck Pimples is a 1945 animated whodunnit short film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. The cartoon parodies radio crime stories and film noir dramas.

Plot

Donald Duck's imagination, enhanced by scary stories on the radio and in books, moves him into a seemingly real crime world, which ultimately turns out to be imaginary. Donald’s dream is enhanced by the backgrounds that abruptly change each time a new character appears in it.

Scenes where Donald is threatened with a knife and the police officer is threatened with an axe have been cut.[1]

Reception

Cartoon Brew called Duck Pimples "the creepiest Disney short ever made" and its animation a "top-drawer work".[2] The cartoon was included in the DVD Disney Treasures: Wave 5: The Chronological Donald Volume 2.
