Sunday Night In Uncle Walt's Vault: The Old Mill

 

A peaceful evening suddenly interrupted by a violent thunderstorm is 
 the subject of the animation short, "The Old Mill" which was produced
 by Walt Disney as part of his "Silly Symphony" series of cartoons,
and released by RKO Pictures in 1937.

  A community of animals living inside an abandoned windmill
 are caught off guard by the storm, but manage to survive  
 after it nearly destroys their home.

With background music from the operetta, "The Gypsy Baron"
by Johann Strauss II, this classic film won the 1937 Oscar
 for Best Short Subjects: Cartoons.

In 2015, the US Library Of Congress selected, "The Old Mill"
for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it,
"culturally,  historically, and aesthetically significant."
