The Ugly Duckling

Always loved the 1939 color version, but this version is also cute and lovable to watch. It's a bit different even from the source material, the Hans Christian Andersen fable.

It begins in a hen-house, with a chicken that hatches 6 chicks and a duckling. When he discovers the duckling, he marginalisez it. But when a tornado comes, almost destroying the farm, the duckling saves the chicks and then mother chicken accepts him in his family.

The animation is quite good for 1931 standards, as is still in black-and-white, but still likable, especially in the tornado sequence, and all the animals here are very cute, especially the chicks and the duckling. Also the music is quite good. And the duckling is so unlucky that you will root for him! Recommended to all fans of old animated shorts.
