A Walt Disney SILLY SYMPHONY Cartoon Short.
The Big Bad Wolf returns to the forest, this time with his
sons,
the THREE LITTLE WOLVES. Fortunately for them, Fifer &
Fiddler Pigs are as gullible & silly as ever...
A follow-up to THE BIG BAD WOLF (1934) and THE THREE
LITTLE PIGS' second sequel, this is a very pleasant cartoon
with lots of good imagination at work. The 'Wolf Pacifier'
is
fascinating & must have warmed the heart of Rube Goldberg
himself. Followed by the non-Symphony THE PRACTICAL PIG
(1939).
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.
