Father Noah’s Ark
1 views
Noah, his family (wife, 3 sons, their wives), and various animals all help build the ark. The rains come, and the skunks barely miss the boat (not that anyone was particularly looking for them), but they manage to swim to it. After the rain and many lamentations by the humans, the sun returns, to the great joy of all. The ground appears, and the animals (and many new babies) disembark.
★★★☆☆
Curator’s rating
A Silly Symphony retelling of the Flood, played entirely for warmth and rhythm rather than solemnity. The animal-loading sequence is the sort of set piece the Symphonies existed for: a long list of creatures, each given one gag, all timed to the score.
