Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Robert Reynolds This is an early color short in the Silly Symphonies series produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:The animation in this cartoon is beautifully done, but there isn't very much beyond that to the short. A baby is sung to sleep and winds up visiting Lullaby Land, which looks pretty much as you might expect-trees with pacifiers and powder puffs, animated potty chairs with a chamber pot joke (which happened fairly often in 1930s Disney shorts) and diapers with safety pins on parade and so on.The short veers off into the "Forbidden Garden" and, briefly, the short looks like it might just turn interesting, but it's just more of the same types of gags, only with things which "will hurt baby that he mustn't touch". Baby starts a FIRE! by playing with matches and one of the better bits arises from three smoke-inspired demons which are the most interesting part of the short.The Sandman finally puts baby to sleep and the dream mercifully ends, to be followed shortly by the end of the cartoon.This short is available on the Disney Treasures Silly Symphonies DVD set and the set itself is worth getting.

Guy Burns Typical quality-animation from the 1930s Disney studio, but the baby-centric story is the big let down. The cartoon is full of diapers, safety pins, potties, a bare bottom, lullabies and sugary songs. There really is little of lasting interest here.I've just been told by IMDb that I need at least 10 lines to get this review published. I can't really say much more about the cartoon. It's not worth too much extra comment. I will say, however, that on the DVD there is a section called "Leonard Slatkin Favourites" or something similar. This cartoon is not among his picks. Now, given that the CD is populated by minor Silly Symphonies (there are only two or three of the recognised classic Silly Symphonies), Leonard obviously thinks this one is fairly dismal.

Shawn Watson A hideous ginger baby is sung to sleep by his mother and imagines a surreal dreamland. The dream gradually changes from restful, to dangerous, to scary, and then back to peaceful. It's hardly a classic, and it features that hideous old Disney animation that is vivid yet aesthetically displeasing, but if you were to watch this late at night it would make you feel sleepy, so I guess it works in some weird way. There are no voices other than the disembodied singing and no recognizable Disney characters. It's directed by an uncredited Wilfred Jackson, who went on to direct Peter Pan, Cinderella, and Alice in Wonderland.Does anyone else think that the little baby looks likes 1980s Commodore 64 character Jack the Nipper?

ArchObler A beautiful cartoon, where all the elements of a baby's world are blown up to epic proportions in his dream. Not only entertaining, but it's also marked by a certain nostalgic quality in this modern disposable diaper world. **** out of ****
