- The lore of ancient fable has no equal to the jolly Land of Jazz,
Which lay within a wild, discordant sea, across the way from long-hair Land of Symphony.
Yet here you'll find no mere Shakespearian sequel (though true folly still it has):
Our star-cross'd lovers bravely face adversity, and true love turns cacophony to harmony! - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I can't believe Disney is promoting sax and violins!
OMFG even 50 years later these cartoons help these hilarious and great jokes get done. I want more cartoons to have this
or gilda radner on SNL in the 70s: 'what's all this I hear about violins on television. Why would parents be against having violins on television?'
Don’t do drums kids
Dafuq?😂😂😂
"Sex and violence" ?
I love how the bass weds them; perfectly captures how the bass is the constant between classical music and jazz.
Bass, actually.
Could have been a trumpet too
Or a drum of some sort since both need percussions
And the trumpet and trombones and the piano and the percussion and the clarinet...
Every instrument has been used in classical orchestra except for the saxophone which is a relative new instrument.
But i get your point, makes some sense.
Bass fiddles there called
"And so the prince and princess had children who went on to be the Electric Light Orchestra. The End."
Underrated comment!
You are a true fan
Wat the inglis
Kmm me
lol🤣
My grandmother played cello in a professional symphony and her father was a youth symphony director, and my grandfather played in a jazz band and his dad was the band leader. This cartoon is hilariously close to their story.
Amazing!
Wow cool.
Still my favorite silly symphony!
Fun fact: This symphony was the first music I ever heard. I’m mostly deaf, and I had just gotten my first set of hearing aids. Needless to say, it was recorded on VHS, and said VHS was watched daily.
What a beautiful memory💜
That's so sweet!
Must say, great choice of first thing to hear, couldn’t imagine the experience but it must’ve been great.
I highly recommend music from The Video Game "Banjo Kazooie"
@@danyhunselar9654 And Cuphead!
This is what I love about Silly Symphonies or other classic cartoons. I love how they can actually use music notes to make characters speak. Thank you for uploading this! Please upload more.
+Thundering Typhoons Being a violinist/musician, I also love the way Disney incorporated music into this cartoon. I loved this cartoon as a child! :)
I can actualy imagine how the musicians had so much fun playing the "lines" of those characters.
Thundering Typhoons hummjum
Capitaine Haddock ! :-)
+sk8ingchamp Same here
I like how the Saxophone writes the Prisoner's song as a message to his father.
"Now if I had the wings of an angel,
Over these prison walls I would fly,
Then I'd fly to the arms of my darling,
And there I'd be willing to die."
Oh wow, i never realize that, incredible!
@@Waally88 Thanks.
Thank you. I was wondering what did the Prince write.
So that's what he said!
😍🎶💋
The detail on the pastor's face when he pronounced them man and wife just shows how they actually cared for these cartoons even tho most were made for the theater screen it always turns out the best animation
And together they created swing music. The End.
Its a fake kiss or no weird part
I was looking for this
Janelle Northcut I don’t know what to say about this but it’s just perfect. I wish that no one would ever want to go back to discord again. I have to admit.
Sadly they soon got invaded by the Rock island. Who latter got defeated by Disco peninsula, only to return in the form of Grunge atoll, which was neverthless nuked by the Hip Hop nation.
The queen of the isle of symphony looks prettier when she is nice
Who's with me
It was really cool how they mixed the jazz with the classical when they were both blowing each other up. That took some badass compositional skill.
you have the only real observant comment here and i want to say:you are correct. whoever did that did it by accident or they were a genius
The composer behind the music on this film was a man called Leigh Harline, and yes, he was a genius. He also worked on lots of the Silly Symphonies and was the main composer of Pinocchio.
Babi The Human they used to care and put so much effort into cartoons. They used to take it seriously
And at the finale.
its so cool. I wonder how this made jazz musicians and black people feel seeing their music used in Disney stuff, and sounding so beautiful! Jazz is the genre that connects everything, that and classical
musics i recognized:
0:26 "Minuet in G" by Ludwig van Beethoven
2:14 "Gavotte" by François-Joseph Gossec
4:14 "march of the knights" by Sergei Prokofiev (i think)
6:17 "the ride of the valkyries" by Richard Wagner
8:13 "Lohengrin: bridal chorus" by Richard Wagner
thank you so much! i’ve been looking for the names of these pieces.
@@keyaunna. you're welcome
Fantastic songs I enjoy.
@@kermitfroggie5334 no problem
4:14 isnt march of the knights im pretty sure
Isn't it kinda weird that the young violin and sax end up as husband and wife AND stepsiblings? I mean, how does that work?
*Sweet home Alabama-*
They're Mormons!
Its calles royale bloodlines A.K.A Incest
The 9 old men were on acid when they made this
Step bro, what are you doing?
Hah, noticed a funny detail: when both kingdoms start to fight, the Island of Jazz shots have the colors white, red and blue, while the island of symphony, playing the ride of the valkyries, shoots notes of red, yellow and black. This short was released in 1935, 4 years prior to world war II. That....was just brilliant.
World war 1 was a thing tho.
WW1 wasnt invented before 1936. Checkmate atheists.
It was, it just went under the name the great war
Not to mention they play Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries...
Shut your funky face, uncle funkle.
The people who made these types of cartoons back in those days are unsung Geniuses of the highest degree. You don't see creativity like this anymore..
Yeah the talent for design and animation was obvious, very little comparable to it today. Same with some of the earlier anime.
HermannTheGreat right. Amazing to see what they were able to do and how they evolved in quite a short time. They reached the pinnacle way early, so ahead of their time.
Because you just aren't looking hard enough.
@@theblizzard8735You're right. Maybe I should just watch more of the Kardashians like you. My bad!
I don't watch the Kardashians I think they're life-sized Barbie dolls-
I'm just saying if you search far and hard enough then you might find some underrated gems of the entertainment world, Like Green Eggs And Ham, Spider-Verse, amongst others.
Really love that it's a note from the classical music island that sink the girls boat and a note from jazz kingdom that sink the sax boat. That tiny detail that just scream: "destroyed by their own parent's hate" is really powerfull
Making the curl on the violin some dolled-up hair and using a mute combined with the sax's brim to make a boater hat is really peak character design I think
And they lived happily ever after as husband and wife... and brother and sister :)
Holy shit, never noticed that .__.
Chromotrigger who are brother and sister here??
Well, they are royals!
Thats just nasty
They're not related so it's fine, incest is usually an issue when both are genetically related
*1930’s* : Land of Symphony and Isle of Jazz
*2010’s* : Land of Symphony, Isle of Jazz, Island of Pop, Gulf of Rock, Region of Goth, Continent of Rap, Sea of Autotune, Coast of Country, River of Dubstep, and so on....
The Goodies Geek you forgot the forbidden satanic dark mountain of metal where Maleficent would be a queen :)))
Sea of synthwave
I'd watch it
The Goodies geek which ones would be enemies and which ones would be friends or allies
How about too Coalition of Reggae, Empire of Electronic, Kingdom of R&B, Dictatorship of Techno, City-State of Funk, Tribes of Hip Hop and Paradise of Gospel music?
Gosh I remember watching this when I was REALLY little. I could never remember what it was called. But here it was, in my recommended videos! I loved watching it again after so long :)
These are super classic cartoons! Extremely creative and cute! I'm sad Disley doesn't make things so pure and creative anymore..
I know same
*Disney
Me too
They are remaking their classics instead or new content. I hope Bambi, Moana and Tangled live actions could be cancelled. And i would prefer 100 million times an ANIMATED lion king prequel instead of a live action :(
This is like Romeo and Juliet but with instruments and a happy ending.
And *cough *cough incest *cough
That was exactly what I thought it looked like.
@@overcookedwater1947 how so?
Romeo and Juliet but all the characters are musical instruments.
It's subtle white women/black men propaganda.
The scene where flute chases violin playfully and later jailed by her mother is an inverted portrayal of all the rapes commited by blacks on white women .Just like in the movie To Kill a Mocking Bird...whorish-white-girl-innocent -black-guy propaganda
Disney really hit a homerun with this one. Every child should have to watch this--a cartoon that teaches:
- Love overcomes hate and intolerance
- Risk is worth it for something you really want or believe in
- War is pointless and only serves to destroy the things most important to you
- Different people living together in harmony is better than discordant isolation
Imagine if all kids internalized these lessons at a young age. Disney really was a dreamer and I love dreaming along with him. Bravo!
Basically a ripoff of Romeo and Juliet
It makes me sad that, in over three years, this comment has received fewer than a dozen upvotes.
@@rloomis3 let me make it a dozen then
Now disney is making toxic feminism propaganda
@@CiampaGiuseppe8 Nice bait.
It would be interesting to see a continuation of this with other genres that have come into fashion.
The Islands of Rock, the Kingdom of Electronica, the Hip-Hop Fleet…
Dreamworks already did something like that.
@@georgiprenatt8270 ou! whats that called?
@@MiddieTV Trolls World Tour. They have personifications of ten different types of music, and I thought of this short a lot while watching it.

@Maskedkoopakid1453
I don’t have anything against sometimes correcting people but I think the dude was saying something about the dlc being a phony Symphonies
The saxaphone prince shaking his prison bars after the prison is destroyed reminds me of that prisoner in Porky Pig in Wackyland/Dough for the Dodo who demands to 'be let out of here'...despite there being only window bars in front of him, and only because he's holding them up himself. XD
I’m only 23 so I was never able to watch these master pieces as a child, but now idk why I love old cartoons so much, literally there are days where I get home from work, get some snacks and watch old school cartoons for hours
i figured out what the sax said when he was playing with violin princess, "peek-a-boo, i see you, hiding behind the tree".
Thats smart
That's what the sandman said to the baby in a another film
music can speak to us in ways we never knew was possible
I find it kinda creepy tbh. Like cmon mate, she said no
9:11 Did King Jazz just break her G-String?
qυєєи мeмe o...omg... I don't know instruments so I had to look it up... That is the g string I'm pretty sure... I now get it
qυєєи мeмe sorry to ruin the moment but the Queen of the Land of Symphony is a Viola. That's means that the string that broke is actually her D string, not her G string.
Rory, that is clearly a cello in the video
Lol
@@rorycraig does this make it gay?
The Cello queen is all like "Get your brass out of my stringdom!"
the face she makes at 8:06 - 8:07 is priceless, lol
Why is nobody talking about the SEA OF DISCORD
Non c’est de la logiques.c’est remettre lés cervelle d’aplomb.amitiés viviane 📞📞📞📞📟📟📟📟
My two favorite parts of this fantastic (in every sense of the word) cartoon: Jazz King's battle cry at 5:25, and the Classical organ pipes turning into naval guns at 6:05.
I like that’s it’s starts as the intro to bugle call rag going to into a wonderful foxtrot
@B Williams Those pipes organ had pretty strong balls to use the notes of the Ride of the Valkyries of Wagner as weapons 😅😅😅😅
LOL, yeah, lets be real, in terms of story, its great it ended in a draw, but real talk, the minute the queen of symphony started firing, she wasn't taking prisoners. As a kid I was like :0 :).
I like the whole battle sense
Wait but if the King of Jazz married the Queen of Symphonies doesn't that make the prince and princess step siblings?? But the prince and princess still married...0_0
+Cathy Cool Royal relations man.
That's what I said!
I don't think they married. I think they were maid of honour and best man. Hence why they didn't kiss. I think what they were "saying" was that they give their blessing
+Cathy Cool Well they ARE royalty.
usualy incest is more of a taboo when the couploe is GENETICALY related, because the reason incest is a taboo is precisely the problems of inbreeding, such as what plagued the Hapsburg family, a fine example is the Spanish King Carlos II. But when they have no blood-ties, I think there will be no consequences.
This movie lives rent free in my head since I was small. I come back here every now and then for the nostalgia ❤️
In the “Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom” episode, Professor Owl described the characters are Queen Cello, Princess Fiddle-Dee-Dee, King Sax and Prince Max.
This is so clever! Jazz was considered to be erratic and not follow a basic time/beat. (It isn't, but back when this was produced some people thought that way.) So they put the jazz prince in a metronome that keeps time because jazz players see keeping time as a type of prison. :0
This is too ignorant, my god.
No
@@6thdim Explain please
@@magnusm4 Jazz follow's basic time and beat, and jazz musicians definitely *don't* see keeping time as some sort of prison. Short of maybe orchestra ensemble members, I would argue that jazz musicians have to focus on time more than other musicians (however all musicians have to keep time in some way) because the whole idea of jazz is to improvise over a piece's harmonies. You can't improvise over a piece unless you can follow it's changes over time and keep track of where you are in the form, *especially* if you're performing with other musicians, which in jazz is very common.
Ro
I love the wedding scene, and how you can pretty much understand what they are "saying."
0:30: The sea of Discord, where all gamers are connected
Yyes
(I intentionally write it like this)
These cartoons made huge contributions to my best dreams when I was a child. I would wake myself laughing.
years ago cartoons where soo good animated ;0;;
+Scyrina thats cuz it wasn't shit 3d and they actually had to put time into it
it was handmade. Now its all in flash animation, wish is fater and less expensive bruuuuh i agree with you bro
TheNacho Draw yeah it was all made by people flash is good for people who can't afford to do that but big companies should still do it like that
+Absolute Zero I'm really tired of people whining about 3D. It takes just as much effort as hand drawn, even more so actually.
Doki Doki Horonigaidesu Gumiworm Z um no it does not I've done 3d you can do timing instantly where the keyframes are put there for you no inbetweening good 3d like disney yes but most no
Silly symphonies is the most underrated and forgotten disney film

@@Johnsechuan Still doesn't make it a film
it s not forgotten. ee still talk about it today

I had Peter And The Wolf on VHS growing up. I remember that this cartoon short was featured within the same VHS. This is super nostalgic for me
My brother with Autism, this is his favorite of the Silly Symphonies!
Thank you so much for the upload!
+swiftwolfcoyote and of course he loves the follow up cartoon - Mickey Mouse - Symphony Hour
My brother has autism too
Oh man, I really like silly symphonies since I was a kid... And sanic...
swiftwolfcoyote, what's autism got 2 do with it? ???
@@shutterbug_713 possibly the thing about over stimulation with certain sounds or noises which can cause distress on the person, I'm no counselor or doctor but what I think OP was trying to say that for a person who's brother has autism It's a bit of a shock that this, composed of music as it's main source of sound, is rather pleasing for them rather than it causing distress.
Walt Disney told a better love story in 9 minutes than Twilight did in 4 films
True
HAHAHAHAHA🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's no question about that! Do you also like it when the light blue owl, Professor Owl who was in the sing alongs later, narrated the same story on "Walt Disney Presents: Toot, Whistle, Plunk, and Boom"?
This is really just band vs strings 💀
@@rayyaninspookymonth1630 hey I know you
Just goes to show, different instrument families can live together in harmony. Without them there would be no orchestra.
So fun fact... I used to watch this as a kid and it would pop back into my head but I could remember what it was called even if I had dreamt it up out of the dark recesses of my mind. I mentioned it to my family and everyone thought I was mental... except my younger brother who was going through the same thing as me
Probably my favorite Silly Symphony, I love the fantastically music world so much and they get so many great gags out of it
I love how despite being depicted as strict and possibly a little mean, the mother shows great concern at the sight of her daughter drowning
It goes for the Jazz King too; he doesn't seem like he cares too much about his son for most of the cartoon, but when he sees his son drowning with the daughter, the father actually goes out onto sea _by himself_ without any rowers or other assistants to save his son.
Guys, I don't know why, I never cry and neither I did here but seeing the war payed with music notes and instruments and seeing the princess almost drowning and screaming with a string voice hit me really hard.
I’ve noticed something that I didn’t as a little kid: Is it implied the prince and princess have been seeing each other for some time before this? Her waving at him looks like part of a routine.
Could be based off of Romeo and Juliet.
Anybody else watch this on their Peter and the Wolf VHS?
Yes indeed
;D BETA MAX
Advent3546 YEAAH!!! I loooved this vhs!! Peter and the wold, this one and Mickey and the orchestra
Advent3546 indefinitely.
Definitely!
My heart broke when she ran out with the white flag and risked her life for peace, sooo deep!
I agree when thr sax was trying to get outwe ricked bis life saving his love and doing it after his way to go on the sea was distorted at 6:53
I love the way the horns honked at 5:31
The metronome boat was the best part 🤣 this will honestly never get old 💙
This was my first Silly Symphony I have ever seen and, as a huge fan of classical music, I'd say its actually my favorite one as well.
Im 32 years old now and i clearly remember watching this 25+ years ago, such a great story line. Timeless classic
I saw this as a child once!
You commented this in 2016, it was made in 2015, so you were a child 2 years ago?!?!
you said my channel name sucked you're not really that dumb right?
lizzt kozlowski this wasn't made in 2015! What you're seeing is a true masterpiece that was made in the 1930's. This video that you're watching is just showing this old timey cartoon so basically this person didn't make the cartoon
Me too saw this on DVD when I was 9
Christme Productions thaaaaaaaaaaaaààasaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Everytime I listened to Botanic Panic from Cuphead it always reminded me of the scene where the Isle of Jazz opens fire. Also in the Cuphead Comics where there were the famous music rivals Wolfgang and Ludwig. They also did a music battle which automatically reminded me about the war scene how grim it was (no pun intended)
Wait shouldn't she be his sister now
A step sister
That, my friends, is called royal bloodlines. (Aka incest)
Thats what I thought...
If u introduce ur single mom to ur bf's dad bc thats what couples do, and they announce their wedding to be near yours, I wouldn't call that incest
Wait... that’s illegall
That snap at 4:41 is the essence of Jazz music - you have a specific tune or rhythm (in this case the metronome) then suddenly, you add something to it.
7:38 I like how the queen changes the tempo that tells her guards to row faster
It's Romeo and Juliette with musicals instruments and a happy ending. I like this short :D Pretty music and animation, cute romance. It's excellent! I consider it as a classic like the Cookie Carnaval.
Further, the music that the prince of Jazz saxophone starts writing (and “singing”) at 4:46 while locked in the metronome jail, is “The Prisoner’s Song” which was a big hit in 1925 and well known for many years afterwards. So for then, a rather obvious musical joke.
5:41 Mark my words, there will be a boss battle like this in Cuphead 2.
Ur right
I hope so! :)
Disney X Studio MDHR
Its been 2 years since youe comment, and theres still no sequel yet, damn ittt
@@mssauri1794 Because of Cuphead show coming to Netflix
4:02 it was at this moment he knew.... he fucked up.
Artwork is still fantastic and a huge inspiration. Love the look of classic toons
In my opinion the best Old School mashup of all time.
5:27 - 7:30 Put on headphones, close your eyes, and be amazed!
This is the type of animation that needs to be seen on the big screen for the artistic style.
I knew those fuckers in the Cuphead funhouse looked like the Jazz King.
I noticed that too
And the water on the sea on captain´s level is straight up the same draw in this.
The creators were inspired by these sort of old short films, that's why we see the similarities!
6:58 Bahahaha! I can't stop laughing!
I even screen recording it! 😂
お互い同士が時々戦争になる場面もありましたが、誰も傷つける事なく、最後はお互いが笑顔で握手をしていた場面に感動しました。

As a lover for harmonizing music, and old 50's-90's films, this has made a wonderful evening for me.
this was from 1935
This is a beautiful melodic story of two young lovers from different areas that reminds me of Romeo and Juliet :)
I like how they used those exact instruments to "speak"
5:46, I cannot imagine how loud that is when they made it in the studio.

This is nice a classic silly symphony episode
I keep watching this. I can’t get enough of how they speak at the end IN MUSIC!!!😍😍😍
The way they talk makes me laugh
And you've noticed that there are no actual voices in the entire film; all the vocal effects are created with instruments. This is one of the most detailed and endlessly inventive one-reel shorts ever created.
thick duck oi josuke!
The symphony land is firing the Ride of the Valkyries.
And jazz land what?
The sheer bass behind this version of “ride of the Valkyries” is fkn awesome lmao
4:25 To those who are wondering, that metronome was set for 60 BPM.
Thanks you
I enjoy everything about these classic toons! They really show just how clever the folks at Disney were(and still ate). Not to mention ahead of their time!

😄
I like how whenever one of the instrument make noises from their mouths they make the noises of what instrument they are
There's going to be one heck of explaining to do at the future family gatherings.
I remember watching this in music class. Glad to see it, again.
As a classical-music lover, this is one of my favorites. It's a clever idea that's given enough "edge" to keep it from becoming annoyingly cute. (What does the saxophone intend to do with his mouthpiece?) The music penned by the saxophone is "If I had the wings of an angel".
I believe the “King of Jazz” saxophone here is supposed to be a caricature of Paul Whiteman, the dance orchestra leader who in the 1920s was called “the King of Jazz”. This was also the title of his (two strip Technicolor) movie made about the band in 1930.
Although his orchestra featured saxophones (as well as violins etc), I believe he started out as a violist before becoming a conductor and bandleader.
I think this will never grow old!
I have watched this when i was just 5-6 yrs old, it's funny how i can still remember everything about this up until now
