Disney ‘36 – Silly Symphony – The Country Cousin
Posted by Disneyhours.com on Mar 10, 2010
A Walt Disney SILLY SYMPHONY Cartoon Short. Morty Citymouse invites his cousin Abner Countrymouse for a visit and shows him the ways of the big city, including traps, eating quietly, and busy traffic. The SILLY SYMPHONIES, which Walt Disney produced for a ten year period beginning in 1929, are among the most fascinating of all animated series. Unlike the Mickey Mouse cartoons in which action was paramount, with the Symphonies the action was made to fit the music. There was little plot in the early Symphonies, which featured lively inanimate objects and anthropomorphic plants & animals, all moving frantically to the soundtrack. Gradually, however, the Symphonies became the school where Walt’s animators learned to work with color and began to experiment with plot, characterization & photographic special effects. The pages of Fable & Fairy Tale, Myth & Mother Goose were all mined to provide story lines and even Hollywood’s musicals & celebrities were effectively spoofed. It was from this rich soil that Disney’s feature-length animation was to spring. In 1939, with SNOW WHITE successfully behind him and PINOCCHIO & FANTASIA on the near horizon, Walt phased out the SILLY SYMPHONIES; they had run their course & served their purpose.

Disney ‘59 – Donald In Mathmagic Land (1of3)
Posted by Disneyhours.com on Mar 5, 2010
Donald in Mathmagic Land is a Donald Duck featurette which was released on June 26, 1959. It was directed by Hamilton Luske and is 27 minutes in length. Many people collaborated on this project, including Disney artists John Hench and Art Riley, voice talent Paul Frees, and scientific expert Heinz Haber, who had worked on the Disney space shows. This featurette was originally released on a bill with Darby O’Gill and the Little People. In 1959, it was nominated for an Academy Award (Best Documentary – Short Subjects). In 1961, two years after its release, it had the honor of being introduced by Ludwig Von Drake and shown on the first program of Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color. The film was made available to schools and became one of the most popular educational films ever made by Disney. As Walt Disney explained, “The cartoon is a good medium to stimulate interest. We have recently explained mathematics in a film and in that way excited public interest in this very important subject.” Despite this being a mathematics educational film, a character incorrectly recites the value of the mathematical constant pi. The character states, “Pi is equal to 3.141592653589747, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.” The correct value of pi (to the same amount of digits) is actually 3.141592653589793.
