Silly Symphonies*

• 2001 ----- color ----- 305 min ----- dvd
• Walt Disney was more than a producer of animated cartoons: he was a visionary, and in the 1930s he used his Silly Symphonies to expand the medium of animation to the limits of his imagination. The years haven't dimmed the luster of these charming, often ingenious cartoons, full of colorful characters and inventive ideas. They are among Walt's greatest achievements, and they deserve to be seen and enjoyed by a new generation.--Leonard Maltin.
