Curiozități

King Neptune is a 1932 animated short film produced by Walt Disney, and the second in the Silly Symphonies series to be produced in Technicolor. While Flowers and Trees was originally intended as a black and white cartoon, King Neptune was meant to be in color from the start, and was able to take full advantage of this.

Production

According to the DVD of Walt Disney Treasures: More Silly Symphonies, Volume Two:

Two scenes of the short, involving a whale hovercraft carrier and some octopus-helicopters, were animated by Dave Hand, who would go on to direct 1943's Victory Through Air Power, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).

The design of King Neptune is actually a 1930s Disney archetype. Disney would use the same design for Santa in another 1932 Silly Symphony called Santa's Workshop, again in the 1933 Silly Symphony The Night Before Christmas and Father Noah in Father Noah's Ark (1933).
