Browsing Disney +, stumbled across this.
This is an interesting little peak into the history of early Disney. This was a very experimental little short and you can tell they were testing out new animation techniques and styles. This little film is pretty interesting in it's own and exploring the potential mythological origins of the changing of the seasons.
but most notably is you can see that this was basically the prototype for both Snow White and Bambi, with the characters, setting, and animals all lying the ground work for when they'd take on the full length films.
Mistake Status: Caught one on the first watch. Decided to go back and check it nearly frame by frame and found many more.

Trivia: This short was used as the testing grounds by Walt Disney and his team for the realistic and fluid animations for the people moving around that they would later use and perfect for Snow White. A lot of the aesthetics of this short very closely resemble what Snow White would become, as well as a lot of the animal designs and motions resemble what would also become Bambi.
