Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

OllieSuave-007 This is a really nice cartoon featuring an assortment of Mother Goose and/or storybook characters, from Humpty Dumpty to the Three Blind Mice and from Bo-Peep to Goldilocks, performing a song and dance for Old King Cole. It's nice how the storybook characters come together like this in one big bash and its clever to see them literally coming out of their respective storybooks. Very imaginative.Grade B

utgard14 Disney Silly Symphonies cartoon with Old King Cole and a bunch of nursery rhyme characters springing forth from the pages of their books at night. It's a concept Disney had done before in black & white and one that would be used to great effect in many other cartoons in the years following this. A fun idea, especially for little kids who (back then) would've known Mother Goose like kids today know Pokemon or whatever else is rotting their brains. It's a good short, despite not having much in the way of a plot. The animation is excellent. The colors are just drop-dead gorgeous! There's a lot of music and singing and I know from reading so many IMDb reviews over the years that inevitably someone will hate it for that and call it corny or dated. Nuts to them! I happen to like the music and found the songs charming. Anyway it's not one of the best Silly Symphonies but it is upbeat and colorful. Try to enjoy it in the spirit it was meant to be viewed in. It's simple kid-friendly entertainment. No fart jokes or double entendres needed.

classicsoncall It occurred to me reading the other reviews for this cartoon short that it probably wasn't made with twenty first century critics in mind, but for youngsters of the 1930's during which it was made. Most of the comments come down on the negative side, and that's OK I guess when comparing this one to the other Silly Symphonies of it's time, but I don't think the criticism needs to be too harsh. The cartoon uses a rapid fire delivery to treat viewers to a whole host of familiar story book characters like The Pied Piper, Little Boy Blue, Old Mother Hubbard, Humpty Dumpty, the Three Blind Mice, and the Ten Little Indians. Old King Cole brings all the characters together at his Annual Jamboree in Story Land, and for young kids, this has got to be a veritable treat. For us older viewers it calls to mind some of those characters that have long faded from memory like Jack Sprat and Mary, Mary, you know, the contrary one. It's only seven minutes long, so if any of it goes by too quickly, it's easy enough to take a second look.

Robert Reynolds This is an early color short in the Silly Symphonies series produced by the Disney studio. There will be mild spoilers ahead:It's hard to spoil this short because it's the blandest Disney short I can recall seeing. The basic premise is simple. That may be a large part of the problem with this one.Old King Cole is throwing a party and has invited all the characters in Storybookland to come. That's about it. You see various books open and have buildings pop up relevant to whatever fairy tale it relates to and the visuals are nice, but they can't really compensate for the lackluster music and boring characters.The short is like cotton candy. It's very nice looking and might briefly seem sweet, but in reality, it's just so much air Pretty much every fairy tail character has a brief moment in the spotlight, but nothing is developed to any degree. The Three Blind Mice and Hickory, Dickory, Dock are the only ones which are even halfway memorable.This short is available on the Disney Treasures More Silly Symphonies DVD set. The set is worth having but this short is for die-hard Disney fans who want to see everything.
