Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} [[File:The_Old_Mill_6687.jpg\|frame]] ''~~'''~~[[The Old Mill~~'''~~]]'' is a [[The Golden Age of Animation\|1937]] [[Silly Symphonies]] short and is considered one of the most important shorts in the [[Classic Disney Shorts]] lineup. While the short has no plot or concrete characters, what carries it is its astounding animation quality-being made not long before the release of ''[[Snow White (Disney film)\|Snow White]]'', it was meant to not only prepare the animators to the grueling task of completing the ~~aformentioned~~aforementioned film, but also to test Disney's then new Multiplane Camera. [[Animation Bump\|But the results are nothing short of jaw-dropping-naturalistic, fluid animation, rich, lush three strip technicolor]], [[Scenery Porn\|and some very, very impressive staging, mood and use of scenery]]. Also a source of [[Nightmare Fuel]] near the end. This short holds the place of #14 on [[The 50 Greatest Cartoons]] list. It was named to the [[National Film Registry]] in 2015.▼ ▲This short holds the place of #14 on [[The 50 Greatest Cartoons]] list. ---- {{tropelist}} * [[Animation Bump]]: Oh yeah. * [[By Wall That Is Holey]] * [[Cue the Sun]] * [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: Yep, it's a mill. And it's ''really'' old. * [[Malevolent Architecture]]: The storm turns the mill into one, as two birds have nested inside a pit where a cog fits. Thankfully, said cog had weathered away prior to the short's timeframe. * [[Never Recycle a Building]]: The windmill's been there long enough to attract several varieties of birds, mice and a colony of bats, but the presence of bell-wearing cattle suggests that there's humans ''somewhere'' close by. Line 18 ⟶ 20: * [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: The two doves who just ''cannot'' back off from one another, no matter how bad the weather gets. And they're right there with each other come daybreak. * [[Stock Footage]]: The cattail animation was later recycled for the climax of ''[[The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad]]''. It also appeared in ''[[Winnie the Pooh]] and The Blustery Day'' and ''[[The Little Mermaid]]''. * [[When It Rains, It Pours]]. And thunders. {{50 Greatest Cartoons}} {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:The 50 Greatest Cartoons]] [[Category:Films of the 1930s]] ~~[[Category:Classic Disney Shorts (Animation)]]~~ [[Category:The Great Depression]] [[Category:~~The~~Classic ~~Old~~Disney ~~Mill~~Shorts]] [[Category:~~Trope~~National Film Registry]] {{DEFAULTSORT:Old Mill, The}} [[Category:Film]]
