Review of Ugly Duckling

This was the last Disney Silly Symphony and a very touching one to end the series on. In this one, a white duck that stands out in the crowd honks instead of quacks so his family instantly rejects him. After similar reactions from birds and a wooden mallard, he finally gets accepted by swans who all also honk. The end. Very touching from beginning to end and it's great to see such beautiful animation throughout. Especially good were those scenes of his reflections in the water the title character sees himself in that were suitably scored here. This is perhaps one of the most sentimental cartoons made by Walt Disney Productions during this time. So with all that said, I highly recommend The Ugly Duckling.
