Are Old Man Winter's pants around his ankles or something in the beginning? there's something connecting his knees together.

[Rosehips100]

Does anyone know the music that starts at 2:00 in this cartoon??

[peacemaker083]

I like the naked women that become tree's. haha.

[peacemaker083]

I'm watching this right now on Classic t.v network. I had no idea the cartoon is this old.

[ashley7327]

Old man winter is pretty much exactly the same as the one in Jack Frost when he chases the little bear!

[Mk97709]

@ashley7327 What's with him in this cartoon? Is he trying to make an eternal winter?

[joely83]

anyone know a cartoon similar to this one were the centaur is a bronze statue and when the sun comes out he gets to play and as the sun comes down he has to rush back to the fountain????? would be muchly appreciated

[gregorkrause]

what's that piece at 0:27-0:28?

[gregorkrause]

0:27-0:28 is my favorite scene.

Do you have the Iwerks animated short "Wizard of Oz?" I have seen it once.

It begins in Black and White, and transfoms to color when Dorothy lands in Oz. The cartoon dates from around 1934-35. MGM stole his idea for their motion picture i 1939, He never to my knowledge ever got the credit for the transformation Idea. from BW to Color.

[VEGETADTX]

[zachmisfitsrule]

Great vidio summertimes comming soon

[betsy1947]

I love it! I much prefer the old cartoons to today's high-tech, computer stuff.

I really like the color and graphics in the old cartoons. They have so much more character. Thanks for posting!

[FilmTraum1]

Great cartoon.

No se de donde se sacan todas las ideas nuevas para la animacion!

[Quentin188]

Wonderful cartoon, thank you!

I was searching the whole web for a very similiar cartoon, in which a pan figure appears too! But this cartoon looked more "realistic" than summertime. At the beginning you could see a bronze statue of this pan, who started to live and played with a deer. (I'm not sure, I think it was a deer) The pan plays from time to time on his flute. At the end of the film, the deer was in trouble and the pan, who was very mean at the beginning, saved it! Please help me!

[jochy923]

its name is tale of the vienna woods

[kalaehunnie]

omg! thank you so much for uploading! i was searching all over youtube for this specific cartoon! these are my favorites. :)

[tystik1983]

used to watch this when i was a little kid, got stoned and watched it the other day. WOW!!!

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

I'm looking for the puss in boots UB Iwerk cartoon. :)

[zootsmcgurn]

It's on one of the Cartoons that Time Forgot dvds.

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

Isn't on the 1st Cartoons that time forgot dvd?

[BrooklynMouse2]

I've haven't seen that cartoon in ages. One of the many ComiColor cartoons created by Ub Iwerks. The music at 2:08 was similar to the one that was originally heard in an early Mickey Mouse short "Plane Crazy" in 1928 by the same guy who brought you the early Disney MM cartoons.

[RevRabbitNov63]

...Love this stuff - !

- Hollywood's Golden Age - when these were shown w/ big-budget movies in Thetres...

- Have you got any where the shops come alive in the night - ?!?; That sorta thing - ??...

[cartoonfan1920s]

Also talk about individuality, check out the sequence around 3 minutes into the cartoon, and this is a post hayes code cartoon?! lol! I love this cartoon ever since i was a lad of 5, its so wonderfully timed and drawn and scored. I never found this much enjoyment from a disney cartoon of the same era...

[sovieteer]

This was actually created before fantasia. Disney was known for copying other cartoons of the time. In fact, Mickey Mouse is considered to be a copy of Felix the Housecat.

[robcat2075]

It's a bit of a reach to say they copied Disney and then say the retained their individuality.  These Iwerks cartoons have their moments but the Disney stuff just flat out worked better.

[gregorkrause]

looks like U.B. Iwerks liked the silly symphonies series and decided to do a ComiColor rip-off

[zootsmcgurn]

Every studio copied Disney in the mid 1930's. I find most of them better than Disney too, especially the Fleischer and Iwerks ones. They retained a bit of individuality. Disney stuff is just bland and soulless to me, it's all technique.

[klownie]

you do know that ub iwerks basically created and did all the early mickey mouse shorts and silly symphonies...so hes not copying disney if he actually created them. :]

[doctorkazoo]

@gregorkrause I don't think that UB Iwerks was huge on originality but there are still some nice bits of animation in this particularly the tree dance at 2:55

[APyleOfVinyl]

@gregorkrause Actually, Iwerks came up with the Silly Symphonies idea whilst working at Disney Studios, he also created Mickey Mouse contrary to popular belief. Iwerks was the genius of it all, without Iwerks, Walt would have still been drawing poor characters about himself and ripoffs of Felix The Cat.

[Jen534]

The Jack Frost one should be seen before this.
