Film based on the famous fable. It's from a time when the Silly Symphonies were more concerned with telling a little story than a little song.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Laura L

This 1935 Oscar-awarded animated cartoon is entertaining and educational. Inspired by the fable 'The Tortoise and the Hare' by Aesop, this Disney animated movie focuses on the race between a slow but perseverent and goal-concentrated tortoise, on the one side, and a speedy hare that thought he could win the race only because nature was more generous with him, on the other side. The moral is that natural talents aren't enough to win.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
