Trombone Trouble is aWalt Disney cartoon that was released on February 18, 1944.[2] It is the onlyDonald Duck cartoon whereRoman/Greek gods play a role.
This short marksPete's last appearance until 1952'sTwo Gun Goofy.
Pete is cacophonically playing histrombone through the night. The godsJupiter andVulcan (who look like ducks similar toDonald) are woken by Pete's noise and decide to think of some way to stop this.Donald has a similar issue. He can't sleep with Pete's noise. He goes to Pete's house, and Pete responds by blowing through the trombone as hard as he can right in Donald's face, sending Donald back into his house into a wall. Jupiter and Vulcan notice Donald wanting to stop the noise, so Jupiter decides to give him some of his power so he can get rid of Pete. Donald fires lightning bolts from his hands, makes his hands electric, and develops godlike strength and succeeds in getting rid of Pete. Jupiter and Vulcan think that their troubles are now over, and go back to sleep on their cloud. Donald notices Pete's trombone and has the desire to play it. Jupiter and Vulcan awake to see that the one whom they helped get rid of Pete is now playing the trombone himself and they collapse from the cloud with exasperation.
The short was released on December 6, 2005, onWalt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald, Volume Two: 1942-1946.[3]
