Alright, so it isn't a terribly complex plot-but it is more of a plot than Iwerks usually had for its cartoons. This one features the same Old Man Winter as did the short Jack Frost, another cartoon from the same studio. Backgrounds and animation are incredible, but then those always tended to be hallmarks of the studio. They'd be more notable in their absence. Plots were not so frequent in appearance-Ub Iwerks didn't have much interest in anything that didn't require animation by way of a pencil or paint. Which was unfortunate, because that was a major reason why the shorts weren't more popular with audiences. Incidentally, Iwerks did a series of thematically similar shorts for Disney in the early 1930s as part of the Silly Symphonies on each of the four seasons, as well as one entitled Night. This series has five of the most beautifully animated shorts I've ever seen. I wish they were in print, but the Iwerks studio short is on DVD. Well worth getting. Highly recommended.
