Fresh and Exciting

Best movie of this year hands down!

best movie i've ever seen.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This is a nice little cartoon featuring a bunch of farm animals going out their daily routines, to the sounds of classical music. Cleverly done with some humorous moments and some recognizable voices, including Clarence Nash's Donald Duck voice heard in the group of ducks.Grade A-

This is a wonderful cartoon of a farm that comes to life with popular classical tunes and the old Scottish folk song "The Campbells are Coming" for the scene with the marching geese. I love the baby animal in the cartoon, they are so cute! I love it when the little colt and calf sniff each other from both sides of the fence - animals do that to get to know each other. I also love the part where the rooster tries to woo a pretty hen and ends up chasing her; I love the "Hiya Toots".So overall, this cartoon is an excellent animal opera with the vocal talents of Florence Gill, Clarence "Ducky" Nash and Billy Bletcher as the old bull.

The technical prowess of the Silly Symphony series hit its peak in the mid to late 1930s. While The Old Mill (1937) is the peak of the series in terms of sheer beauty and technical innovation, Farmyard Symphony (1938) was still riding that wave. The animation is just gorgeous; there is a realism to the animal characters which looks forward to the final entry in Disney's Golden Age, Bambi (1942).Of course, the story is thin. I have heard this short described as an adaptation of the Chanticleer story, but that's not accurate. Farmyard Symphony is much more like the earliest Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphony shorts, which featured characters making music with gags thrown in.Overall a charming and lovely-looking short. Not essential, but worth watching for Disney buffs.

Farmyard Symphony, what can I say? Practically perfect in every way. Of course it is rather short on plot, but it has enough charm and fun to wholly compensate. The animation is colourful and fluid, no stiff movements or colour changes as far as I can see. The characters were wonderful, from the adorable piglets to the absolutely hilarious chickens, they alone contributed to the charm of this silly symphony. The best part? Has to be the music, a superb collage of classical music favourites such as the Pastoral Symphony, William Tell, The Barber of Seville, Tannhauser and Hungarian Rhapsody Number 2.This silly symphony is a very funny and wholly engaging one, and is up there with my favourites. 10/10 Bethany Cox
