I have always loved the early Disney color cartoons this is a perfect example of them. I think Disney taking exclusive rights to Technicolor was unfair but an excellent business plan because it made all his animations one more step above that of his competitors. The artwork of the Old Mill is amazingly detailed and shows a wonderful grasp of perspective especially with the advent of the miltiplane camera. I think if we still used Technicolor and used mostly music instead of dialogue when telling the story, this would be as good as, if not better than, many modern 2D cartoons today. Many people do not like watching old tv shows due to anything from lack of color in the oldest episodes, to low-tech graphics and special effects. However, I feel like starting in 30s animations got to a point where they will never go out of favor (except maybe to the truly picky) because they are all illustrations and are not truly meant to be realistic like you would expect from live action.
