Vitoria F One of the saddest and most emotional versions of The Ugly Duckling I've ever seen. Despite being a Silly Symphony, the soundtrack is not the center of attention, but it helps to involve the viewer in the melancholic atmosphere of the story. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Love this short animated film from Disney. I saw it at the Walt Disney museum and it was really good. This is better animation than today's work. Great job Disney! Disney should make a longer or remake version. Great short film classic! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A cherished classic in which the happy conclusion comes from identity. The duck's emotional hardships are explored with more depth. 89/100 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
