Swanning around

The Ugly Duckling (1939)

Directed by Jack Cutting and Clyde Geronimi this cartoon has duck noises from Clarance Nash. A baby duck struggles to fit in with his birth family and goes on an adventure to find his place in the world.

Taking a classic tale this is a simple but effective story of a baby duck that is really a swan. This was the last in the “Silly Symphonies” series and it brings together everything Disney had learnt in it's previous efforts for a quality cartoon. The simple morale and the animation work well together providing good entertainment.
