The plants and trees are woken by the dawning of the new spring. Two young trees greet each other as they reawaken and the male tree serenades his would-be love, but the lady tree has also drawn the attention of the oldest tree in the forest, who wants the fair maiden for his own.
Released: 1932
Language: no dialogue
Style: 2D animation
Of Interest: The first short to make use of the then new three-strip Technicolor process, which allowed for full color in films. Disney would also get the exclusive rights for the use of the process in animation for 3 years as part of a deal with Technicolor’s creator who wanted to show of the new process. This deal left the other studios to use the inferior Cinecolor and two-strip Technicolor processes if they wanted color in their animated films. Was the first animated short to win the Oscar for best short subject (1932); a Walt Disney short would go on to win the award every year thereafter until the last Silly Symphony was made in 1939.
