Douglas's Snow Fight

Douglas's Snow Fight is an animated short film featuring classic cartoon character Douglas Duck in a civil war-esque snowball fight with his nephews Henry, David and Lewis. It was released in 1942 by Michael Shires Productions and is also known as Snowball Walls.

Plot
The short begins with Douglas wiping the fog off his glass door, excited to see the snow. Wearing a fur overcoat, Douglas goes out to play with a sled while singing Jingle Bells. When Douglas reaches the top of the hill, he notices his nephews, Henry, David and Lewis, at the bottom, building a snowman while singing For He's a Jolly Good Fellow. Tempted, Douglas crashes his sled into their snowman and thus his nephews, resulting each of them to "wear" a part of their snowman. Douglas laughs himself silly afterwards, which prompted the angry trio to plot revenge.

The nephews plot their revenge by creating a giant snowman version on Douglas on a boulder before calling out to him on it. Douglas attempts to crash the snowman, only for the shockwaves from the crash to destroy his sled and shake off all of the furs on his overcoat, save for one, that Douglas touches with his finger to stop its shaking and pulls out. The nephews happily laugh themselves silly, prompting an angry Douglas to chase after them. Eventually, the nephews escape into a ice fortress and crash into ice like cage and he cover of snow like a rhino that they made before singing London Bridge, prompting Douglas to declare war on them by building himself a snow battleship.

Douglas starts off a small barrage of snowballs, which results the nephews into becoming like bowling pins, and Douglas uses a bowling ball-like snowball to strike them out. Douglas then pulls out a bucket of water, dips a snow chunk in it, and creates an ice ammunition (called "Big Bertie" by Douglas.) He launches it and it splits his nephews' flagpole in three spots, "spanking" all three of them. Despite the pain they endured, the nephews angrily refuse to surrender to Douglas and instead started creating snow chunks of their own while getting three other objects: a picnic basket, some rope, and some mouse traps. They place the mouse traps in rocket-shaped components and stick them in the picnic basket now with the string tied to it. Henry, David and Lewis soon launch the basket and release the missiles, with Douglas getting hit by several of them sending him into his usual tantrum. With Henry commanding them with a wooden sword, Lewis and David started launching snowballs from a catapult, much to Douglas's frustration.

The nephews then spear hot coal onto arrows (albeit while singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic) and launch them into the top of the battleship, creating a skull-like structure. As a final attack, they launch a flaming snowball into a part of Douglas's ship, which causes the ship to start melting and end up with Douglas frozen in a palm tree-shaped prison of ice. To celebrate their victory, the triplets perform a (stereotypical) ceremonious Native American dance around the icicle
