Flowers and Trees

From Free net encyclopedia

Flowers and Trees was a 1932 Silly Symphonies cartoon produced by Walt Disney, directed by Burt Gillett, and released to theatres by United Artists on July 30, 1932. It was the first commercially released film to be produced in the full-color three-strip Technicolor process (while Fiddlesticks with Flip the Frog, is said to be the first cartoon in Two-color Technicolor and was released on August 16, 1930, even if the cartoon The Debut of Thomas Katt from 1920 also is rumored to be made this way). Flowers and Trees was already in production as a black and white cartoon when Disney decided it would be made in color, and scrapped the black and white footage. Later that year, it won the first Academy Award for Best Short Subjects: Cartoons. All the later animated films from Disney was produced in colors, except from the Mickey Mouse shorts, which continued to be made in black and white until The Band Concert in 1935.
