00:00 The Walt Disney Studio was never idle.
00:04 As if the staff wasn't busy enough making short subjects and feature films,
00:08 they also turned out a large number of educational, sponsored, and promotional films.
00:12 The Volunteer Worker is a rarely seen short from 1940,
00:16 featuring Donald Duck as a good citizen trying to collect money for charity.
00:20 The abrupt ending implies that this was designed to be followed
00:24 by a pitch for a specific worthy cause, and there's never any shortage of those.
