OllieSuave-007 Walt Disney was on a role with these Silly Symphonies, letting his imagination run wild with clever and miraculous sequences of magic. Here, a baby is transported to Lullaby Land while dreaming, where we see a display of pacifiers, diapers, bottles, and blankets come to life. We also see anti-babies stuff such as scissors, knives, fountain pens, and matches, which haunt the kid and his doll dog as well. It is nice to include some baby-themed characters in the cartoon as well, including the Boogeyman and the Sandman. Neat stuff here.Grade B

Vimacone The Silly Symphonies explored many different themes and motifs when Disney started producing them in Technicolor. Lullaby Land looks at the inner world of an infant. Storyman Pinto Colvig (Goofy's voice actor), recalled a few years after this short was released that the idea came about when he and director Wilfred Jackson were talking about their experiences at fatherhood. Jackson then proposed an idea for a Silly Symphony "to picture the thoughts of what might be going through a year-old baby's head while he's asleep". According to Colvig, Walt jumped at the idea when he became a father himself.Like most Symphonies in the early 30's, there isn't much narrative besides plenty of lush and colorful visuals. The narrative follows an infant and his plush dog (come to life) as he is whisped away to a fantasy land while being sung a lullaby. Disney will revisit this theme five years later with Wynken, Blynken, and Nod (1938), only with the state of the art multi-plane camera which gave the short a more lush and three-dimensional quality.This still manages to be a lush and very sentimental film more than 80 years later. Parents with infants shall enjoy and appreciate this film.

Guy Burns Typical quality-animation from the 1930s Disney studio, but the baby-centric story is the big let down. The cartoon is full of diapers, safety pins, potties, a bare bottom, lullabies and sugary songs. There really is little of lasting interest here.I've just been told by IMDb that I need at least 10 lines to get this review published. I can't really say much more about the cartoon. It's not worth too much extra comment. I will say, however, that on the DVD there is a section called "Leonard Slatkin Favourites" or something similar. This cartoon is not among his picks. Now, given that the CD is populated by minor Silly Symphonies (there are only two or three of the recognised classic Silly Symphonies), Leonard obviously thinks this one is fairly dismal.

TheLittleSongbird Not one of my favourite Disney Silly Symphonies but still a very good cartoon. It is a little too sugary cute, but there is much to compensate. Visually, it is amazing with some surrealistic images seen with the dance of the boogie men, backgrounds and colours that still look absolutely beautiful and the baby's character features are real in alternative to exaggerated. The music is wonderful also, catchy and appropriately dreamy. Add to that colourful characters, a story that is refreshingly different in the sense that it is a whole new creative world rather than a real situation or a fairy-tale like world and fast pacing and we have a fun and thrilling cartoon. Not a favourite, but recommended definitely. 8/10 Bethany Cox
