Disney version of the timeless fable about a grasshopper who mocks the ants for working hard to ready themselves for the coming winter instead of playing, only to turn to those same ants for food and shelter when the winter hits. It's a gorgeous cartoon with rich, vibrant colors that just pop out at you. It's Disney and, in the 1930s, there was no one coming close to Disney in the animation field. The music is fun, including the song "The World Owes Me a Living," which would later become Goofy's theme song. Coincidentally, the grasshopper is voiced by Goofy himself, Pinto Colvig. As another reviewer noted, this short changes the ending to the original story, where the grasshopper is turned away by the ants and has to lie in a bed of his own making. Basically he is left to starve to death! Well times change and by the 1930s there were a lot of Americans starving and looking for a helping hand, so it's not surprising the ending was changed to the ants helping the grasshopper. Hopefully he learned his lesson and worked harder the next summer. Doubtful, of course, but we can hope.
