An extremely pleasant film with Robert Benchley visiting the Disney studio, meeting animators, story men, voice artists (including Clarence Nash) and finally Walt Disney himself. He also sees several cartoons at various stages of their production. The first one (a brief black & white sequence about a train) offers a marvelous showcase for sound effects, while the second (a quirky story about an infant genius) reveals the importance of the storyboard. The third sequence (a Goofy cartoon) is followed by an amusing tale about a gentle dragon. Also included are brief animated scenes featuring Donald Duck and Bambi. Ironically, the release of this cheerful film coincided with a bitter strike at the studio.
