RETRO CARTOON ANIMATION To Spring (1936)
This 1936 Harman/Ising Happy Harmony imagines spring as literally animated. That is, underground gnomes (animators) mix ink and paint and pump it into the landscape, bringing it to life. Winter attempts to reassert black and white, but is beaten back by the might of Technicolor

Hey, Tres, Good to see you
When I saw this show as a kid, I really enjoyed seeing how those little guys mined for colored rocks, turned them into powder and liquid, and sent them up the roots of grass and trees to make them change color. What an imagination people had in those good old times.
I saw this when I was a kid. And I'm a millennial! Hard to believe it's from 1936.

I found it by searching "gnomes vs weather" after the song in this cartoon would randomly pop into my head over the last 3 decades of my life.
An absolute gem of a cartoon, all that was the very best of animation of the period and a showcase for the new technicolour process.
I have been searching for this cartoon! Thank you for uploading it :) I have fond memories of this one, had the vhs tape in the 80s. The colors were magical

A core memory from my early childhood! I've been trying to find it for years!! This one and the one with raggedy Ann and the little blind girl.
What a little masterpiece of animation. The music, of course, is of critical importance. The perfect use of Grieg's "To Spring." Just brilliant. Thanks for posting.
This made me so nostalgic. Was looking for this for a long time and finally found it. Thanks. :)

I always thought this laid the groundwork for Fantasia, The date is spot on. Especially since people still remember this, that's why I'm here.
I still love this, and I'm from 1986. The truly greats are timeless and should never be lost. We are totally at this point with our spring weather where I live in Southern Michigan. My peach blooms got all burnt up. Sleet today!
I quote "time for Spring I say" every Spring. And I love the gnomes' technology!
I was terrified of the storm cloud as a kid because of his murky appearance and deep voice.
This brings back so many good memories. I haven't seen this for 26 yrs.
OH MY GOD I FOUND IT!!!!! So much beautiful memories! Thank you SO SO much for upload it!!!
This cartoon is the reason why I've had Mozart's "Non più andrai" stuck in my head all my life.
One of the finest animated cartoons ever made. I watch it every year to celebrate the Spring Equinox. Happy Springtime, everybody!
I remember when this aired on Cartoon Network when I was just a tiny boy. Good to see this again!

Thank you for posting. This was my favorite cartoon as a child and I can finally watch it again.
While he co directed this short, this was the directorial debut for William Hanna (of Hanna Barbara fame) a few years later he and Barbara would co create Tom and Jerry before opening their own studio. Depending on the source 2 to 4 people co directed this short. Lee Blair, Hugh Harman and Paul Fennell. With Fennell and Hanna being confirmed by Wikipedia while the other 2 along with Hanna and Fennell by IMDB.

I used to watch this on VHS with my brother at my grandma's house. This is a precious gem of my childhood
I haven't seen this in probably 25-27 years. Amazing.
This was actually directed by William Hanna [Harman & Ising got sole screen credit]. It was the first cartoon he ever directed for the studio, while working for the "Happy Harmonies" unit. The following year, he became friends and co-workers with Joseph Barbera...and they created a certain cat and mouse for Rudy Ising in "Puss Gets the Boot" (1940)....which led to their own animated unit that lasted until was shut down in 1957.
I think this was my favorite throughout the years
I remember watching this when I was small, and I so ecstatic that I found it again :)
Finally found this cartoon 🤗 I’m 39 and remember watching this all the time when I was little. Till this day I sing this every time spring arrives 🤣

Like most of us here, this cartoon has been in my memory for most of my life. I searched for it years ago and found it. Now I'm writing a final presentation in my college music class regarding program music, and this came to mind once again. Thank you sooo much for this.
I haven't seen this cartoon in a long time. Thank God I found it.
I love how the one dude tries to wear pants, and ends up just running in his underwear like the rest by the end!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Maravillosamente hermoso, ya no hacen cosas así 😢
Man I’m a 2000s kid, and I used to watch this cartoon regularly on my Bugs Bunny Toon Factory dvd and they would include strange cartoons that I wasn’t used to seeing, but years later I would always hum the song whenever spring comes around.
We've been having a real battle this year to get to spring in upstate New York. It's about a month late. I first saw this cartoon on TV decades ago and often look for it around this time of year. It's a classic!
Bellísimo!
I search this out every now and then, I was in awe and have remembered it the 50ish TV watching years.
I like the art of animation and the song.
Great cartoon! Can't believe I managed to come across this after so many years.
Seriously in love with this! The complete epitome of a Michigan winter!
