Beautiful re-telling of the Hans Chirstian Andersen fairy tale
This is my first "Color Rhapsody" cartoon from Columbia Pictures that I have seen. I thought it was a beautiful re-telling of the sad Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. But of course, the setting was changed to a modern American city, and Grandmother's angel was also omitted from the cartoon.
Here is something I just learned: this cartoon was nominated for Best Animated Short Subject. But sadly, it was lost to Walt Disney in "The Old Mill." So anyway, that is all I have to say about this beautifully animated cartoon as a fan of Hans Christian Andersen's tales. And this cartoon is also a favorite from the "Color Rhapsody" series.
