On this day in 1956, the educational Donald Duck short, ‘How to Have an Accident in the Home’ was released. Accident-prone Donald is a model for J.J. Fate, an embodiment of destiny, as Fate illustrates how carelessness is responsible for everyday mishaps. ‘How to Have an Accident in the Home’ was the first of many educational shorts starring Donald Duck through 1967. It was also the last of the “classic” era shorts to be made in widescreen with CinemaScope. [70 years ago in 2026]
