Clock Cleaners

Clock Cleaners is a color Mickey Mouse animated short. It was released in 1937.

Synopsis
Mickey, Donald, and Goofy each face different obstacles while cleaning a giant clock tower: Mickey tries to remove a sleepy stork that is nesting in the gears while a temperamental spring causes trouble for Donald. Later, a hit on the head by a mechanical bell ringer causes Goofy (who mistook the ringer as an actual person) to carelessly stumble along a high ledge and through a perilous trek, while Mickey does his best to make sure his pal doesn't take a nasty fall.

Censorship
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 "F*** you!" (He actually says "Says you!", which is made clear by the spring replying, "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. The same edit also occurs on the DVD release of The Great Mouse Detective (which includes the cartoon as a bonus feature), the Funny Factory with Goofy DVD, and the Epic Mickey Collector's Edition bonus DVD. 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. Additionally, recent broadcasts of the cartoon on the Disney Channel and the Have a Laugh!: Volume 2 DVD have reinstated the original line.
