This is a Walt Disney Silly Symphony cartoon from almost 85 years ago and it was the one that won Disney his very first Academy Award. Funnily enough, one of the two people he beat was himself with another entry. Most have been a good year. anyway, in these 7 minutes we see flowers and trees as the title tells us, but a lot more than that, for example mushrooms, but mostly all kinds of animals. There are some fairly frequent motives in here. Good vs. evil, a love story between two trees and the fight for survival. For the latter, they used a massive fire here, but the plants are lucky that massive amounts of rain pour down right on time. This one is really delightful to watch. The characters were designed with so much heart and their interactions are witty and creative. In terms of the story, this is probably not one of Disney's greatest achievements, but it's still a thrilling watch at times. The music is pretty nice as well. I enjoyed watching this and recommend it.
