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!

I love how the bass weds them; perfectly captures how the bass is the constant between classical music and jazz.
-
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.

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.

"And so the prince and princess had children who went on to be the Electric Light Orchestra. The End."

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.

I can't believe Disney is promoting sax and violins!
-
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."

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.
-
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.
-
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 :)
-
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..

These are super classic cartoons! Extremely creative and cute! I'm sad Disley doesn't make things so pure and creative anymore..
-
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.

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?
-
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 :)
