This winter has seemed
to drag on forever, so I thought I’d repost this cartoon from last year. It seems
to fit the yo-yo like weather which we have been experiencing here for the past
month or so. Hopefully we have seen the last of the bad weather until next year…
The MGM series of Happy Harmonies cartoons were really
not preserved as well as many of the other cartoons of the era. However, there
are still some real gems out there. Like this one, “To Spring”, in which the
elves are awakened from their winter’s nap by the dripping of the melting ice
which slowly sets off the alarm clock to awaken them to their annual task. It
is a very important one, too.
You see, these elves are in charge of putting color back
into the world after the bleak period of winter has passed. They seem to be
enjoying themselves until Old Man Winter makes one final push to regain control
over the elements, keeping things cold and bleak. But the elves are up to the
challenge, restoring the world to its colorful array of beauty and its natural
cycle of life.
