+...:::JessieluvsGirls:::... +Enzo Giacosa YES! I loved it as a kid and haven't seen it in the longest. I saw a clip of it in my animation history class and now, here it is! x3 Thanks for posting it, Enzo :D
I used to love this Silly Symphony and now that I rediscovered it I love it even more ^^ the violin girl's sound is so cute! And the whole story is really sweet
me and my brother used to watch this and peter and the wolf every time we visited our grandparents when we were young , glad i've found it back after all those years :)
It's like Romeo and Juliet when the two houses fight against each other. In this story, the artillery in war is all leading music with mighty notes and chords. Jazz vs. Symphony. I watched this when I was little.
Walt Disney's death made the front page of the Atlanta Constitution. When I saw it in a drugstore I was 18 and cried like a baby. These were so much a part of my childhood and this was my favorite.
When i was young even before went school, I watched this film like almost every day. Because I loved cartoon so much and i didn't have other cartoon video back then And i watched and watched again, not knowing what the story really is.. I just so loved to watch all those objects,another world,amazing characters,funny moves and so nice sounds. and now I'm watching this like 20 years after and it just look like an old film with no any particular special thing. And i just realized how much important that kids imagination and all the wonders with animation is. And now i understand the way of animation creaters see the childrens world.
I am studying this film for university, its an amazing short with a lot of meaning behind it. plus the use of Wagner and Beethoven is wonderful. The silly symphonies were the stepping stones and experimental stages that the disney company took to create snow white.
I watched these as a child in the late '50's and early '60's. They are the sweetest, most fun cartoons. The cartoons that started coming from Hanna-Barbera were the worst things to happen to children's programming.
Glad to see these Silly Symphonies on you tube since I did not get Silly Symphonies part 1 but I have part 2! These Symphonies show Disney animaters development that led to the 1940 Fantasia! Thanks for uploading this!
Oh god i remember this c: its been so long im so glad to see this cartoon again! I saw it as a kid and always stuck on me cx thanks so much for uploading it!
I can't tell you how long I've been looking for this cartoon!! The thing was I couldn't remember for the life me what it was called! Oh I love it lol, thank you so much :)
This film was directed by Wilfred Jackson and produced by Walt Disney, but the music is by Leigh Harline and the story was written by Pinto Colvig. It was released October 5th, 1935 and re-released in the year 2000.
The technical brilliance of this short didn't register to me at all when I was little. Only now, when I know two shits about music, can I look back at this and marvel at dialogue done entirely with musical instruments. And the war sequence kicks ass to this day.
Thank you for sharing this, I have been searching for this cartoon for a long time. Saw it a long time ago on a tv show that played old cartoons, I think it was called Toonheads on Cartoon network!
I have never seen this one but I loved the sily symphonies and merry melodies cartoons, I was looking for them, because my video cassete does not work any longer... I would love to have them in DVD
At 4:35 the song is "The Prisoner's Song", composer credit is usually listed as Vernon Dalhart & Guy Massey(Dalhart's cousin). The song was first recorded by Dalhart in 1924 on Victor records(ancestor to RCA Victor). Cute musical reference to incarceration; "If I had the wings of an angel, over these prison walls I would fly..." Also, the giant metronome as a jailhouse is great!
Man, you can imagine my surprise when I found out the cartoons I've grown up with were older, or just as old as my grandparents. Anyway, while I was sad that Disney didn't keep Silly Symphony going, or that one jukebox they had in, I think the 80s, but at the same time, I'm glad they did stop considering that most music nowadays are either personal, hit below the belt or somebody else's version of an older song.
Great! In reality, the Bridge of Harmony was built by George Gershwin, indeed he composed symphonies including "An American In Paris" Rhapsodies as "Rhapsody in Blue", as well as Jazz like "Strike Up The Band" and Blues like "Summertime" sang later by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
Lol, I remember watching this in Music Appreciation Class. A lot of people were thinking "Wouldn't that make them siblings?" at the end XD It's still a good film though ^ ^
Moral of the story : Love all instruments because they bring your music together.
It's amazing how the characters are voiced by musical instruments!
Sip
I used to have all of these on vhs when I was little and this was my favorite. Haven't seen this in years. Thank you so much
I remember watching this as a child.
It's both amazing and chilling how much of the 'over-tones' I missed as a kid growing up.
This is my favorite silly symphony, period. The best kind of silliness that I can’t find anywhere else since...
Almost 20 years since I saw this and yet it is still one of the most enchanting moments of Disney 'movie magic' I have ever seen.
I can't believe I found this on youtube!!! imSO happy!

No prob! Just happy and surprised to find it as you were :)
There won´t be any better cartoons than Walt Disney´s... never ever!!! He was a genius and made the childhood of many people so beautiful...
Whoever said Music could never be a weapon...never met Walt Disney.
Absolutely... 💯%...
Soo beautiful and magic Disney is definitely the best light of my childhood
My all time favorite Silly Symphony!!
This is amazing, no voices,, just musical instruments playin melodys, an this different sounds tell a history. wonderfull!!!
How can 7 people give this the thumbs down? this carton has wonderful use of imagination, made my day watching this.
Beautiful simphony and the way they coordinated the movements and story is marvellus. I love it.

I was born in 91 and we were raised with this! Classic Kids stuff, just like Peter and the Wolf and 'Symthony Hour'! Love it!!

How old are you?
michael johnson Well, if walt disney died December 15, 1966, and Jockellis was 18 at the time, Subtracting 1966 from 2014 gives us 48. + 18 = 66
blimy
I remember watching this as a kid- I vote this as one of the best Silly Symphonies Disney did :)
I wish cartoons this days were like this ones. This is art.
Oh, this short is adorable! I love how creative it is--all those wonderful backgrounds and the way the characters talk.
If only wars could be solved as simply as this...
with the children and parents marring each other?
Las mejores caricaturas en aquellos tiempos como estas ningunas
yeash..
Brilliant piece! I love how the instrumental sounds are the voices :)
Two of my favorite mediums put together brilliantly!
Animation and music!
This is so rad. I love this style of animation.
Saw this as a kid, been searching for it since forever.
Disney's Silly Symphonies were the greatest. They combined some very nice music with the cartoons, which was good for the kiddies to experience.
the people who made this video are a genius!! we need more exciting videos like this. God bless them!!
This is a cartoon from the 30's.
... But I miss these good old cartoons Good Times, Simple Times
I love the idea with the Jazz-sax being locked up in the tower of steady rhythm.. Brilliant touch!
Una Obra de arte Audio-Visual Esto eran otros tiempos....

The fact that the prison is a metronome is so poetic.
Its great to see coloured cartoons even 80 yrs back
I haven't seen this since I was maybe 6 or 7. I'm 29 now. Nostalgia, man.
the few seconds of the jazz part from 7:02 ... just amazing ! i want to be in those times and this kind of music which vanished for ever ! ..
Ah, Music. The universal language of love.
Those damn kids with their crazy jazz music

Fantastic vision ! Music war and peace between jazz % symphonic music :)
Thanks for positing.

My favorite Silly Symphony short Ever!.
Piece of art.
Thank you for sharing this, I have been searching for this cartoon for a long time. Saw it a long time ago on a tv show that played old cartoons, I think it was called Toonheads on Cartoon network!
For being a woodwind instrument, that little saxophone sure is bold as brass ;)
***** I daresay the symphony-jazz version of Wagner's bridal march at the end was far more clever :)
OMG I remember this from my childhood but I couldn't find it...til now!! Thanks!
Holly crap, did the Symphony islands organ cannons look way better to anyone else?
and firing "Ride of the Valkyries"... perfect!
too bad cartoons these days dont have this kind of imagination and quality
Hear, hear!
Thank god for Gravity Falls.
You might say the Prince and Princess will make beautiful music together.
Wow this was probably the best thing I've seen in a while
IT S A FANNY MUSIC. GREETINGS FROM MEXICO.
Love this classical cartoons with its symphonics are awesome!!!! Love it!

Classic, funny, and simple.

HOLY SHNIKES!!!It has been years since I've seen this one! THis must've the first one I saw (on VHS)!!
My grand children love this cartoon
During the feud the queen's orchestra is playing ride of the valkyries.
Bellos cortometrajes del recuerdo.

@movieguy4 me too, I'm only 24 but I remember they used to show these on Tv during the day time. I LOVED them haha
i remember this re-run in the 80s when i was just a kid
A Violin and a Saxophone. Still a better love story than Twilight.
I want to live on that Isle of Jazz.
my band director show me this yesterday i love this cartoon !
Now I realize that this turns out to be technically incest....
+Madeline Sawinski Siblings by law not genetics.
@Fell Man
Therefore, incest by law
i love how the story is told all in music and there actually no speaking what so ever.
There is a game that depicts what a Land of Metal looks like.
It is called Brutal Legend.
And it is glorious.
This is like an instrument version of Romeo and Juliet. I love it when parodies of that story are made. :)
I always like The Silly Symphonies.
It is amazing what came out of the 30s in terms of art and movies.
Great! In reality, the Bridge of Harmony was built by George Gershwin, indeed he composed symphonies including "An American In Paris" Rhapsodies as "Rhapsody in Blue", as well as Jazz like "Strike Up The Band" and Blues like "Summertime" sang later by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
Such nostalgia!
I love the canons and the shells.
Lol, I remember watching this in Music Appreciation Class. A lot of people were thinking "Wouldn't that make them siblings?" at the end XD
It's still a good film though ^ ^
if only life was a cartoon film where music was playing and everyone was happy and nobody got hurt...
