Water Babies (1935)
4/10
Beautiful, but empty

Warning: Spoilers
"Water Babies" is a 1935 Silly Symphony by Disney, so this little cartoon is already over 80 years old. It runs for 8 minutes, slightly longer than cartoons usually did at this time, but not much, just by a minute. There is no denying that visually this film is a delight and it is also a success in terms of the music we hear. Unfortunately, the most crucial element is missing here. This film is just a collection of impressions and for me personally, it does not cut the cake. I was not particularly entertained from watching this and Disney has made many more interesting films around that time already. Lets keep in mind, this was several years before World War II already. I have watched animated films from the last 2 decades that look older than this one here. But before I get too positive here, lets go with another negative point. This film clearly supports the abysmal activity of bull(frog) fighting. Oh yeah, that's all I guess. If you liked it more than I did, then you may want to check out the sequel they made 3 years later. It's called "Merbabies". As for "Water Babies": Not recommended.
