In celebration of Easter today, we'd like to share this cel-setup from Walt Disney's 1934 Silly Symphony "Funny Little Bunnies"! Excerpted from Russell Merritt and J.B. Kaufman's Book, Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies: A Companion to the Classic Cartoon Series, this short subject cartoon features a "tour of a meadow filled with rabbits readying their wares for Easter. A group of confectioners prepare candy eggs, chocolate rabbits, and other delicacies while an assembly line of hens produces a supply of fresh eggs, painted by rabbits with colors taken directly from the rainbow. The visit ends with another crew rabbits loading giant Easter baskets with their brightly colored cargo." "Funny Little Bunnies" ended up winning the gold medal award for Best Animated Film in 1934 at the Venice Film Festival.
Happy Easter!
