Eine Farm voller Melodien

Farmyard Symphony is a 1938 Silly Symphonies animated short film.[1] It can be seen as a precursor to Fantasia due to using various pieces of classical music in one short. The film was directed by Jack Cutting and produced by Walt Disney.[2]

An adaptation of the short was featured in the Silly Symphony comic strip over six weeks, from October 23 to November 27, 1938, around the time of the film's theatrical release. While the short doesn't have much of a story, the comic adaptation expands on a running gag involving a piglet looking for food, giving one of the piglets distinctive markings and a name (Spotty), and turns the gag into a short narrative.[3] Spotty Pig also appeared in a nine-page story in the Silly Symphonies comic book issue #2 (1953).[4]
