One of Disney's Silly Symphonies loosely adapts Hans Christian Andersen's story of a baby waterfowl rejected by his family. In this case, "The Ugly Duckling" depicts an anatid who hatches amongst a bunch of chicks (I'd like to know how a duck egg ended up under a hen) and repeatedly gets rebuffed by the family until a severe situation arises.
The only dialogue is the animals' sounds (one provided by Pinto Colvig, best known as Goofy's voice artist). Being a Silly Symphony, a lot of the focus is on the music. There's nothing complex about the cartoon, although I did like the contortions. Enjoyable for its brief run.
