No Sail is ananimatedshort film produced byWalt Disney Productions in 1945, featuringDonald Duck andGoofy.[1] It follows Donald and Goofy after finding themselves stranded at sea and the crazy ways that they try to survive.
Goofy and Donald board acoin-operatedsailboat, which leaves Donald constantly depositingnickels into the slot to keep the sail functioning. Donald loses his temper right after using his last nickel and triggers atilt sensor in the mechanism, stranding him and Goofy in the open ocean. While attempting to attract the attention of a passingship, a nickel flys out of Goofy's hat and rolls along the side of the boat. As Donald fails to catch it before it rolls into theocean, Goofy waves "bon-voyage" to the ship and its passengers instead of signaling them for help. After several more days, they fight over afish that jumps into the boat, but are beaten by aseagull. They then attempt tohunt the seagull with aclub, but are beaten again. Donald realizes thatsharks are beginning to circle, but Goofy mistakes them for regular fish. Goofy attempts tofish for the sharks, but inadvertently, and obliviously, casts Donald out on the hook. Donald fends off the sharks while Goofy slowly tries to untangle the backlash of line on the reel. Donald accidentally falls bill-first into the coin slot after Goofy yanks him back into the boat and drops him upon being told to "Put me down!", which sends the mast shooting out and folding into place. Goofy then sails the boat back towards land while Donald throws a tantrum at being stuck in the mechanism.
The short was released on December 6, 2005 onWalt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald, Volume Two: 1942-1946.[2]
