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.
