From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clock Cleaners is a Mickey Mouse cartoon released in 1937. In 1994 it was voted #27 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field.

[edit] Synopsis

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are assigned to clean up the clock tower of a large skyscraper.

[edit] Controversy

During the 1990s, Donald Wildmon and the American Family Association forced Wal-Mart to discontinue the sale of the VHS tape Walt Disney Cartoon Classics: Fun on the Job, which contained this short. The reason for this was that during his argument with the main spring, Donald Duck allegedly shouts "Fuck you!"; he actually says "Says you!", which is made clear by the spring's reply, "Says I!" Due to this controversy, when the cartoon was included on the Walt Disney Treasures DVD set Mickey Mouse in Living Color, Donald's line was redubbed with the line, "Awww, nuts!", originally said in On Ice. The edit is made obvious by the fact that the viewer can hear Pluto barking when Donald says this. This same edit also occurs on the later DVD Funny Factory with Goofy; however, the scene is shown with its original dialogue in the TV special One Hour in Wonderland, which is included as a bonus feature on the Alice in Wonderland: Masterpiece Edition DVD. The "Awww,nuts!" edit is also in place on the "The Great Mouse Detective" DVD.
