“All Together” A Disney cartoon for Canada

August 19th, 2007

Parading in front of Ottawa’s Parliament Building, a collection of Disney characters show they are “all together” for buying War Savings Certificates to help win the war against the Axis.

Commissioned by The National Film Board of Canada, this very short little film pulled no punches in its direct message to viewers to support their country’s war effort by putting their finances into the fight.

In the parade by order of appearance are: Pinocchio, Geppetto, Figaro, Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey, Louie & Pluto. On a vehicle rides Mickey Mouse, conducting his “Band Concert” (1935) buddies - including Clarabelle Cow, Horace Horsecollar & Goofy - in Bagley’s National Emblem March. Bringing up the rear are the Seven Dwarves: Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy & Dopey. Of them all, only Donald speaks and his voice is provided by Clarence `Ducky’ Nash.

This is, by far one, of the oddest cartoons I have seen from the Disney Studios featuring their A list characters.

Haha, this is quite fascinating, especially when you can actually tell which cartoons all those animations were directly traced from (some of the walk cycles don’t even loop very well!). Still, love the end segments design.
