TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

OllieSuave-007 This is a nice little cartoon featuring a bunch of farm animals going out their daily routines, to the sounds of classical music. Cleverly done with some humorous moments and some recognizable voices, including Clarence Nash's Donald Duck voice heard in the group of ducks.Grade A-

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) This is a wonderful cartoon of a farm that comes to life with popular classical tunes and the old Scottish folk song "The Campbells are Coming" for the scene with the marching geese. I love the baby animal in the cartoon, they are so cute! I love it when the little colt and calf sniff each other from both sides of the fence - animals do that to get to know each other. I also love the part where the rooster tries to woo a pretty hen and ends up chasing her; I love the "Hiya Toots".So overall, this cartoon is an excellent animal opera with the vocal talents of Florence Gill, Clarence "Ducky" Nash and Billy Bletcher as the old bull.

MartinHafer In the 1930s, cartoons were chock full of singing animals and little in the way of humor. One notable exception were the Disney cartoons with Mickey and his friends. However, the studio also made a ton of the so-called "Silly Symphonies"--cartoons set to music that in some cases don't hold up so well today (some notable exceptions being "The Three Little Pigs" and "The Ugly Duckling"--among others). I am not sure if these singing cartoons are what people wanted or if studios just thought that's what they wanted, as this sort of singing film practically disappeared by 1940. Until then, MGM, Looney Tunes and the rest were all making rather insipid singing cartoons.This film consists of animals and farmers around the farm singing and making music while going about their daily routine. There really isn't much more to it than that, though you can see a creepy rooster chasing a chicken as he's trying to have his way with her. Not particularly enjoyable and a bit strange.

Ron Oliver A Walt Disney SILLY SYMPHONY Cartoon Short.The FARMYARD SYMPHONY signals the start of another day for the farm animals. Baby colts & calves frolic & scamper, the rooster plights his noisy troth to a svelte hen, and a young pig searches for more food.Set to an amalgam of classic music, this cartoon is short on plot & long on charm. The animals are all well rendered; in fact, it's fascinating to compare this film to earlier entries in the Symphonies and see just how far the Disney animators had progressed in depicting lifelike farm fauna. It sounds like Clarence Nash & Florence Gill are vocalizing for the ducks & chickens.The SILLY SYMPHONIES, which Walt Disney produced for a ten year period beginning in 1929, are among the most interesting of series in the field of animation. Unlike the Mickey Mouse cartoons in which action was paramount, with the Symphonies the action was made to fit the music. There was little plot in the early Symphonies, which featured lively inanimate objects and anthropomorphic plants & animals, all moving frantically to the soundtrack. Gradually, however, the Symphonies became the school where Walt's animators learned to work with color and began to experiment with plot, characterization & photographic special effects. The pages of Fable & Fairy Tale, Myth & Mother Goose were all mined to provide story lines and even Hollywood's musicals & celebrities were effectively spoofed. It was from this rich soil that Disney's feature-length animation was to spring. In 1939, with SNOW WHITE successfully behind him and PINOCCHIO & FANTASIA on the near horizon, Walt phased out the SILLY SYMPHONIES; they had run their course & served their purpose.
