Wiki.
Donald's Decision is a four-minute educational short animated film made by the Walt Disney Studios, for the National Film Board of Canada. The film was released theatrically on January 11, 1942 as part of a series of four films directed at the Canadian public to buy war bonds during the Second World War.
Donald's Decision was directed by Ford Beebe, and featured the voice talent of Clarence "Ducky" Nash as "Donald Duck" and Thelma Boardman as the "Angel" (1942) as Donald wrestles with his conscience, to do the right thing. Although in production prior to the Attack on Pearl Harbor, the film is an example of a World War II propaganda film.
Donald's Decision re-uses animation from the Disney cartoon short Donald's Better Self (1938) and Self Control (1938), that also featured Donald's struggles between an angelic and demonic version of himself.
