Autumn is a Silly Symphonies animated Disney short film. It was released on February 13, 1930, by Columbia Pictures.[1] It was the final Disney cartoon that Ub Iwerks animated.[2]
The short film begins by introducing the audience to various animals searching for food and ends by showing those animals taking shelter from the snow: the squirrels keep the nuts and corn cones in a tree, while playing with them. Crows steal them. A hedgehog gets apples from a tree. Several beavers build a dam and dance on the banks of the river. Ducks swim in the river but leave it and fly away. Beaver, skunk, crows and the hedgehog take shelter when snow falls in the forest.
Motion Picture News (August 2, 1930): "Well done, but constructed along the same lines as most cartoons, the majority of which depend on fantastic stepping by the animal characters to put it over. The musical renditions are splendid".[3]
The short was released on December 19, 2006, on Walt Disney Treasures: More Silly Symphonies, Volume Two.[1]
