Donald's Happy Birthday is a 1949 Donald Duck cartoon featuring Donald Duck and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
Plot
On March 13, Huey, Dewey, and Louie decide to buy a box of cigars for their uncle Donald's birthday, but when they realize they do not have $2.98, they do the backyard lawn and charge Donald for the chores. He gives them the money, but immediately has them deposit it in a singing coin bank. After a couple of failed attempts to steal the bank, the trio manage to take the money and buy the box of cigars before returning to their tree house. Thinking the trio have taken up smoking, Donald sneaks into the tree house and makes them smoke all of the cigars themselves. Just as the cigar box is emptied, he discovers a birthday card from the trio and shrinks while panicking in embarrassment.
