What happens
Spare the Rod is a 1954 American animated short film directed by Jack Hannah and produced by Walt Disney, featuring Donald Duck. In the short film, while Donald is doing yard work, his nephews are playing games instead of doing their chores. He is going to punish them, but the "voice of child psychology" convinces him to play along instead. This works well when they chop the wood to burn him at the stake. Meanwhile, a trio of Pygmy cannibals that escaped from the circus are out to do the very same thing to Donald with a cauldron of water. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
