This is an excellent cartoon short from Walt Disney. It is not the typical one featuring the star cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy. Rather, it features a slew of animals such as birds, frogs, insects and bats going about their lives and daily rituals in or near an old windmill.
As a little kid, I remember always rooting for my favorite part of the cartoon to come - the commencing of the storm and the windmill starting to turn. The raging storm reminds you of Mother Nature's fury and the frightened animals remind you of the innocence caught in the commotion. After the storm passes and the windmill is badly damaged, the animals return to their daily activities, serving as a reminder that life moves on.
