The Awesomeness That Is Silly Symphonies

 And now, I have a really interesting thing to talk about. 

Nowadays these feel like they are kinda overlooked. 

People would just imagine that they are just seeing the average B&W films in movie theaters back in the 30s until in July 1932, Disney released Flowers And Trees (1932) and the whole world immediately exploded.

I know that Flowers And Trees wasn't the first Silly Symphony cartoon, but it's probably the first good film in its series. I find the black and white ones like The Skeleton Dance and Hell's Bells to be average. 

 

When they said no to color anymore, just look at them. This was what Disney was before they made movies like Snow White, Fantasia and Bambi.

Goddess Of Spring turned 90 years old about 3 weeks ago and it looks like it was made yesterday, I know it's restored, but just look at the details, the soundtrack, the shadowing, it's all pleasent and real! It's by far my favorite Silly Symphony cartoons.

By that era they also made amusing and well-written characters.

My first experience to a Silly Symphony cartoon is probably The Cookie Carnival (1935) it was on YouTube and this was at a time I was beginning to be drawn with classic animation. I was probably, what like 12 or something? 

It was the good times.

This has to be the most detailed and best animated Silly Symphony cartoons. Everything looks so delicious.

You can't tell me looking at this makes you feel starved.   

I sure haven't watched every Silly Symphony cartoon but I'm willing to, at least the ones in color. So far I have some I think are masterpieces.

I thought Music Land (1935) was remarkable. It had alot of tribute to music and had such a sweet plot to the whole thing. I loved it and sure they make short films like this nowadays? It's kinda rare since short films nowadays commonly involve an emotional feel, or is unnecessarily shorter than these films.

The Old Mill (1937) is in my opinion, Classic Disney's magnum-opus, you can feel something and be challenged seeing this cartoon. The effects in this feel impossibly professional, looks like it was all made with surreal magic even back in 1937, no computers, just hand drawn animation. This does deserve the academy award and to be in the Top 50 Best Cartoons. It's that legendary.

Usually I'm not a fan of silent-ish films in general, stuff like the Pink Panther, or the Chaplin films I'm not really fond about. But this one is one of those cartoons I would say is best for having barely any dialogue, when I watched this I felt sorry for the duckling. It's one of the most touching Disney films I ever seen. 

It's the final Silly Symphony cartoon and it deserves to be the finale. I loved this one so much.

These short films have influenced me so much and I would love to make cartoons like this. I wouldn't want to make something useless like those abstract experimental films, something stupidly cartoony like Oggy And The Cockroaches or the brainrot we have nowadays. I would love to make Artmania like how Looney Tunes is with it's comedic appeal, and Classic Disney's use of fantasy and beautiful art to it all. Hopefully I would be able to get recognition for my series because I'm willing to get some help if needed if I'm doing something like this. I know I can't do it all by myself.
