If you’ve ever wondered how the Easter Bunny gets ahold of
all that candy for the Easter Baskets, this cartoon is for you. The “Silly
Symphony” series of cartoons were created by Disney Studios as a way to compete
with the “Merrie Melodies” and “Looney Tunes” cartoons, both of which were produced
by the main studios, and were coming to dominate the market after the heyday of
Popeye and Betty Boop had passed.
Although these little cartoons lacked the chronic cast of
characters pumped out by the other two studios, they did fill a niche market
for cartoons which appealed to a younger audience; about 5 and 6 years old.
With their splendid imagery and musical scores, they may have been short on
dialogue, but they more than made up for it with the happiness they gave to so
many younger children.
Happy Easter to any of the younger visitors to this site; including
my own 4 grand-daughters; I hope that
the Easter Bunny fills you up with all the sweetness you need to get through
another year doing what you all do best; spreading that sweetness around!
