"The Grasshopper and the Ants" is an 8-minute cartoon by Disney and this one came out back in 1934, so it is already way over 80 years old. But it is in color already and has sound and is from that time where Disney still focuses on the characters that weren't Mickey, Donald and Goofy. But this does not mean that the voice actors weren't there already. For example, the legendary Pinto Colvig (Goofy) voices the grasshopper in this little fable we have here about a grasshopper who prefers to make music while the hard-working ants prefer for winter. So eventually, the hopper is out in the cold and has to beg for mercy to the ants, but there is a happy ending here as in so many Disney films and I guess artists will also be fairly happy with it. No denying animation in 1934 was miles and miles ahead of live action, at least when it comes to the United States. Of course, saying the animation is also much better than anywhere in the world at that time is certainly an accurate statement. I enjoyed the watch here. Not one of my very favorite Disney cartoons, but still a pretty good watch with decent music, solid comedy and, most of all, beautiful animation.
