It's A Silly Symphony Summer

It's Midsummer's Eve and what Disney film could be better suited to kick off the festivities than the black and white Summer? The short was animated and directed by Ub Iwerks in his classic Silly Symphony style and features a menagerie of dancing insects including centipedes, butterflies, dung beetles, a dragonfly and a spider...to name a few.

Originally released on January 06, 1930, it would be the same year that Iwerks left Walt's employment to go work for competitor Pat Powers. And in just seven more short years, the Disney Studio would go from this lovable, but humble style of animation to the brilliance that is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!
