[donimoX]

Fave cartoon ever!



[MacaronMonster]

FINALLY FOUND IT! i kid you not, i've spent around 2 years looking, on and off. i had no idea what the title was. just remembered bits and pieces. thank you so much for posting!

[DainGerrUsss]

This cartoon absolutely has tons of "soul" . It is very tragic ~huge sigh~ that nowadays, most all cartoon creators DO NOT HAVE A CLUE of how to make a cartoon like this real gem. And, even at my old age (58), there is something about the arrangement of the opening and closing music "To Spring" (by Edvard Grieg) that always makes me emotional. Any one else feel that way about the music? Just wondering. Have a good one everybody!

[Aldren88]

@DainGerrUsss I feel the same way about the music of this piece of art! I'm 24 years old.

[dancepiglover]

@DainGerrUsss Absolutely! As a child I appreciated classical music and definitely loved the art of this cartoon.

[ChipCaramel]

I too owned this crap VHS as a kid. A few others with it.

[sharmaine24]

Time For Spring, I Say !

[LonlyLittleVegGirl43]

Did anyone else remember this because of all the colors?

[DainGerrUsss]

@LonlyLittleVegGirl43 The colors AND the music !

[cinders1998]

Back then these were all hand drawn...amazing.

[aleshao17]

I have been looking for this for about 2 weeks, and after sooooo much researching, I found it!

[Seradinea]

Mr. Winter is a bully... :l

[Uberforth]

Haha, I'm working on figuring out the music for this and on this video the key is a half step lower and the video is 30 seconds longer than a different recording I found.

[bryceishomo]

I watched this so much as a kid, im only 19 now and its made in 1936, so its not really in my time but my parents might have watched it as kids and showed it too me, it just poped in my head 1 day and i goodled "its time for spring i say" hahaha thanks for posting this :)

[judysband]

[Arcterion]

I totally got reminded of this cartoon by a video for Black Pyramid's "And The Gods Made War / Visions of Gehenna" songs. :D

[RancidHeart]

I FINALLY FOUND IT! I LOVED this cartoon as a kid. I watched it all the time and I loved the songs in it.

[mjpk6269]

"... time for Spring, time for Spring...... time for Spring, I say!"

[Lenmac4]

Can't believe I found this either! Great childhood memories, and I too, think of that little guy saying, "time for spring!" every year.

[rashby2007]

I purposelt just looked for this, cant believe I found it!!! thumbs up if you love this cartoon and it brings back childhood memories!!!!!

[DainGerrUsss]

@rashby2007 THUMBS UP !!!!!!!!!!!

[TheSDMM]

@rashby2007 This brings back childhood memories!?!?!? its made in 1936..

That means your around 76 years old xD What on earth are you doing on youtube?

(Same to you the 3 people that liked his comment)....

But i do admit, this is one classical cartoon.

[GooglFascists]

These were shown in theaters before the main movie back in the day. They took

an incredible amount of hard work to make, because before computers real

artists had to draw & paint each plate to assemble into an animated cartoon.

AMAZING! This illustrates that life is a BATTLE, just like the battle we are in

now against evil that would make the planet into a prison and turn America

into a 3rd world slave state. WAKE UP, FOLKS!

Time to FIGHT for our nation & freedom from bankster- hijackers.

[626joshua]

Classic, isn't it?

[WheezerTheGeezer]

One of my all time favorite animated shorts.

The colors are unbelievable!

We watch this EVERY year towards the end of winter. It brings hope and the promise of springtime.

[SandraD1977]

I love this cartoon! I used to watch it when I was a kid but in spanish. Do you by any chance have a link to watch it in spanish? Thanks for posting it! I told my boys about it and now they're able to watch it too.

Regards from Argentina:::

[misslaja22]

I used to have this on VHS along with Christmas Comes but Once A Year(1936), Jack Frost(1934), and Mickeys Christmas Carol(1983)

I cant believe I found these vids and that other people remember them just as I do. I used to watch these videos all year. Brings back so many memories :)

Thanks for posting this

[edasnoraa]

@misslaja22 holy shit that is where it is from. i had the same exact vhs

[theinfrahumano]

lo mejor que vi en mi vida

[drumhellar]

This cartoon is a special type of magic not found in modern cartoons.

[drumhellar]

OOooh yeah.

Best cartoon ever

[1darkseamoon3]

i knew youtube would have this vid! ive been looking for it b/c my lilo siblings messed my dvd up. it had this vid in it...i love it!!!

[Matt90o]

I had this on VCR and I loved it when I was a kid. I can only remember the pictures because I was too young to remember sounds. Awesome that someone posted this!

[MDOBRYDNIA]

Out of all the cartoons i saw on Pee Wees Playhouse, this is the only one i remembered. It was great getting to see it again!

[adoblessed]

this was the first William Hanna's film as director in 1936; he was the creator of Tom and Jerry =)

[TheToody30]

loved it when i was a kid. Love it as an adult!

[lesaubergines]

I can't believe this is from 1936, wow!

[testomatic12345]

did Mozart get any residuals for them using his melodies?

[malachite007]

which melodies of his are in this.. is it the industrial sounding part at 2:57 cause I've been trying to find that tune for the longest time its also in the final trading scene of trading places

[testomatic12345]

starting at 6:45 a Mozart quote

[skrag2112]

This cartoon was William Hanna's first job as a director. Not a bad start.

[RetroGirl85]

this was 1936? wow omg i thought i was the only person who remebered this lol. whenever anyone says its almost time for spring all i think of is this stupid song with the little guy saying time for spring, time for spring i say! lol

[poohbear5050]

@RetroGirl85 this was a family favorite at my house. anytime we'd have a warm spell followed by a cold snap we'd all be walking around the house singing time for spring i say, with my dad singing bloooOOOOoooow. Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks of this. but who knew this was 75 years old?

[pieballs69]

i used to have this on vhs too!!! il loved it!!!

[slpknt10l03]

I have this on vhs from when i was a kid, lol ... awesome!

[txstoryteller]

Love this short; they sure don't make cartoons like this anymore. *Sigh* Today's cartoons just don't cut it with me; give me the classic Walt Disney animation or Bugs Bunny anyday.....FIVE stars!

[helljumper4]

Those were the days...
