When this cartoon began on the Disney DVD, I noticed right away that this one had some serious sound issues. Considering that the collection consists of the best quality available at this time, I was very disappointed--and wonder why Disney didn't get rid of the hissing sound before re-releasing it.
This Silly Symphony short is typical for the series as it features lots of creatures dancing about--all set to music. Anyone looking for Mickey or his friends when watching a Silly Symphony short will be disappointed (though there is a mouse that looks like a naked Mickey), as although they were from Disney, they featured mostly 'one-shot' characters you'd never see again.
It begins with Pan cavorting about and playing his flute. However, soon the focus is no longer on him and you see nature dancing about to the music--and some of it is pretty weird (such as the dancing clouds that you'll just need to see for yourself as well as the trees). Eventually, a fire breaks out and all appears hopeless for our Über-cute creatures--until Pan springs to action.
Compared to the average cartoon from 1930 or other Silly Symphonies, this one is awfully good. While its style is very antiquated compared to later toons, it's still worth seeing today.
