Shorts! Happy Harmonies: To Spring
Manage episode 414383657 series 2580754
The Happy Harmonies series is an oft-forgotten series of shorts that largely serve as a vehicle for the increasingly racist depictions of former Looney Tunes star Bosko, and also a bunch of cartoons that ape the sensibilities of Disney's Silly Symphonies series. Which is to say, it's oft-forgotten because there is not much there of quality to remember. That said, the series did, through this cartoon, harbor the directorial beginnings of a man who would go on to immeasurably affect the animation industry, and thus, we turn our eyes upon To Spring, and ask: were William Hanna's talents obvious, even from the beginning? Listen to find out!
