The short's an undisputed high point of the Silly Symphonies series and Disney animation in general. It's kind let down by shrill songs performed at the beginning and end that totally fail to capture the hard rhythm of Eugene Field's poem, Wynken Blynken and Nod is a beautiful short that makes up for its slight story with plenty of atmosphere, and somehow manages to stay to just the right side of cutesy. The waves of duedrops that surround the boat are the short's pièce de résistance.

This is floating around in the foggy depths of my memory. In fact, I remember only seeing it once. It possesses a certain softness and childlike innocence. It's like a good lullabye you would want to sing to your baby. Most of the Silly Symphonies are gems of animation that Disney should never shun nor forget.
