Curiosidades

To Spring is a 1936 animated musical short part of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Happy Harmonies series. Although credited as a Harman-Ising production, this short was actually the first cartoon to be directed by the future cartoon giant William Hanna, along with animator Paul Fennell. It is one of just three MGM cartoons that are in the public domain, and, as of 2026, the only Happy Harmonies short in the public domain.

Production

The title is a play on words used to represent the season of spring and action the gnomes must take to wake up and get to work. Lee Blair oversaw the short's vibrant Technicolor process. The short also features the directorial debut of William Hanna, who would later create Tom & Jerry. Hanna co-directed the short with Paul Fennell, but Harman and Ising retained the production credit.
