Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom
US (1953): Animated/Comedy/Family/Documentary/Short
In this short subject (which mostly represents a departure from Disney's traditional approach to animation), a stuffy owl teacher lectures his feathered flock on the origins of musical instruments. Starting with cavemen whose crude implements could only "toot, whistle, plunk and boom," the owl explains how these primitive beginnings led to the development of the four basic types of instruments: brass, woodwinds, strings and percussion. Directed by Ward Kimball and Charles A. Nichols. (IMDb)
