Springtime (1929) | Commentary / Retrospective

Springtime is a Silly Symphonies animated Disney short film. It was released in 1929. It was the third Silly Symphonies film to be produced.

The music used in the film includes “Morning Mood” from Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt, Franz von Blon’s “Whispering Flowers”, Amilcare Ponchielli’s music for “Dance of the Hours” and Jacques Offenbach’s “Gaîté Parisienne”
