this cartoon be short on plot and but be a visually stunning piece of work . there will be very and very minor spoiler represent this short have a story that incredibly slight gnome underground be responsible for the return of spring each year and yet must contend with a winter not yet ready to withdraw . both the gnome and the storm have their own song . that pretty much the plot and such a it be . but this cartoon isn not about the plot it about the color and animation . the visuals be exceptional . back in 1936 and such bright color be still something of a novelty and there some incredibly inspired work here . my favorite moment of the short surround the movement of the liquefied color through pipe . at more than one point and there be a series of pipe align in a row and from the shortest to the tallest and the color move through the pipe and the musical track make it seem a though the row be a pipe organ . the visuals of the battle between the emerge greenery and the winter storm which refuse to leave quietly be exceedingly well execute . these type of short be thing which hugh harman and rudolf ising be note for and but they probably also help lead to their ultimate departure from mgm and because this cartoon probably go over budget and mgm finally decide that they could control cost well if the animation department be manage by someone a little more conscious of cost than harman and ising be . this be truly a beautiful cartoon and be well worth see . it available on the dvd attack of the 30 character . recommended and particularly if you like good animation .
