We got snow this morning and it's also Walt Disney's 124th birthday today, so that's great. I admire the older Disney movies and there's a great scene from Melody Time (1948), Once Upon A Wintertime. The colors are absoutely pleasent and it's also very simple yet cute.
Thought I would show some screencaps.
This short film is so stylish but I mean that in a good way. There's no slapstick, no damsel in distress, it's just great animation and passion.
The color styling is very memorable and inspiring. Often using two-tone color palettes. I had to look into more research with this short. It has had recognition over the years, re-releasing the animated film in September of 1954 and a wondefully illustrated Little Golden book. Dennis West explains the short more clearly than I do but I would definitely check out the video of this particular short on his channel, West Of Neverland. It's great.
Here's a little clip of the actual short.
