Modern Inventions is a 1937 American comic science fiction animated short film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by United Artists.[4] The cartoon follows Donald Duck as he tours the fictional Museum of Modern Marvels. It was directed by Jack King in his first directing role at Disney, and features original music by Oliver Wallace. The voice cast includes Clarence Nash as Donald, Billy Bletcher as the Robot Butler, Adriana Caselotti as the Robot Baby Carriage and Don Brodie as the Robot Barber.
Modern Inventions pokes fun at modern conveniences. The scene of Donald in the barber's chair was submitted by Carl Barks as his first story contribution at Disney.[5] It is also the final Disney short to be released by United Artists.
