I still remember the short cartoons and cartoon features on the old Wonderful World of Disney on Sundays at 6:00. I absolutely loved that show. It sure shows you how far the Walt Disney Company has fallen. Today the Disney Co. Is nowhere near what its founder Walt Disney had envisioned.
Disney would air it from time to time during its toontown tv show in the 90s. Always did like this cartoon. Maybe it’s why I’m such a sucker for old electronics, and why I prefer to keep my TVs, phones, computers etc. going as long as it’s functional. Nothing or anyone is truly ever obsolete.
Oh so nice grandpa, you have seen so much in your life... Wonderful i would like to listen more about that time in America... Can you please tell me about that time more??
Disney also did a similar cartoon, "Susie, the Little Blue Coupe". It is also available on RU-vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pTF6v3ejaJQ.html
I did because my house in my country not finish yet from 1996 Need kitchen and bathroom and tiles and paint All this need $20,000 No money yet to finish it to can rent it..
Fak Yuh Googel I don't remember but I can dream.. with all 3 my roommates dreaming too. that's also why I will not have children. the world is gonna die.
I’m always saying, “Where do these ppl think 🤔 we’re getting all this money 💵 from to buy & rent?!” It’s outrageous! I really don’t know how our civilization is supposed to thrive under the system we have in place right now. It makes no sense 🤦🏽♀️. 🌈
I was starting to get depressed for a minute but i understand now…You may see others reach higher peaks in life and wonder why things aren’t looking up for you but remember not to compare yourself to others. You were meant to be original and stand out amongst the crowd. Remain true to yourself and you will be lifted up while the others around you may crumble. Especially if their house wasn’t built on a solid foundation. 😉
Yayyy, someone who gets the actual meaning of the cartoon! Which isn’t about buying or flipping houses, or about living in the country, but about you being a little house in itself… searching for peace and some sunshine. The message is about standing your ground, and not letting those snobs get you down. It’s about inner value and about those who appreciate that value. Otherwise what would be the purpose of personifying the house, giving it eyes, relating to her feelings? If we just think of it as a normal house, the deeper meaning is lost and it becomes just a capitalistic sentimental view of old houses.
This literally made me cry. As someone who was a child of the Disney Renaissance, I have a preference for old 2D animation. Not only that, but seeing what the world is turning into, that is my dream now is to find a house in the country away from the cities and be left alone in the peace and quiet of our little homestead and the occasional train in the distance.
When I was a kid I identified with the little house, not with staying in a little house. People always getting me in trouble, fighting around me, being complete snobs towards me, and I would end up with an empty feeling inside. :)
Thats probably the whole reason it survived at all. Someone down the line thought to live in a house their ancestors built. otherwise, that house surely wouldn't be worth the hassle.
If you're white, christian and straight. I live in a big house in the country , i am not christian, i am married to someone who isn't white and we are not straight,. I didn't find peace i demanded it via my lawyers.
Morgan Olfursson: That’s too bad 😔, I’m sorry you had to go through that. I live in a house 🏡 in the country & I love it❤️. I’m a single, black female 👩🏽🦱 & my white neighbors are very nice. Even the cops 🚓 & sheriffs deputies 👮🏼♂️are nice! I know that’s not the norm, tho. I’m very lucky & very happy with my neighborhood. It’s so quiet & coming from the rude, crowded city, I can’t express how wonderful that is 🥰. That’s one reason I love this sweet cartoon 💕. 🌈
@@sethfarmer590 Seriously ? Get over the fact that my neighbors threatened to have my kids taken away by child services because we are too men raising them. Get over the fact that my neighbors had an issue with only one of our 5 kids being white , especially issues with the fact that one is Middle Eastern ? Get over the fact that they had an issue with my husband not being white ? Get over the fact that one of my neighbors tried to kill my dogs because they were barking at him when he got too close to the gate ? Get over the fact that i my husband and myself had to make sure that we were never alone in a place a little too isolated ? Get over the fact that i had to visit my kids' school with a lawyer to make sure the Den understands that if any of my kids was to ever be bullied again i would have the Den's head on a stick in front of my house . Get over the fact that because i am a veterinarian and ethologist, married to another vet and ethologist we had dead cats and dogs thrown into our backyard ? Get over the fact that one of the local inbred tried to sexually assault my husband , only to find out that he is a fourth dan in Judo and still had the guts to complain to the police when he ended up at the hospital with two broken arms ? Get over the fact that my Middle Eastern son was called a terrorist although he was just 6 years old and i had to go to court to make it stop ? Get over the fact that my daughter got assaulted by one of the neighbors although she was not even 14 at the time , ending up in the man getting unfortunately hit by my husband's car the minute he found out ? Get over myself ? Really Seth ?
I love how Disney don't simply remove all the dark and sad factors of living and reality just because it's a kid's cartoon. For me, Kids need to learn early the difficulties and problems of living to grow up as strong minded man and woman.
If written today: "And as the big city skyrises encroached closer and closer to the little house, it saw its value be inflated to $1.8 million, about $1500 per square foot".
ironically every building built around the house in this film would now be considered historical, shit even 70s buildings are considered historical in some parts and within 50 years everything built in the 20th century will be historical including the futuristic like modern building craze that started in the 50s
Even my kids say this! The blocky 3D animation of the early 2000s and beyond have become embarrassingly passé. Young & old alike are recognizing the artfulness of old school animation. I’m here for it 😍
ACETYGRA it’s the death of the American dream that all those “racist” republicans were trying to warn you about. House in the country with a white picket fence and raising a family. All gone for the sake of modernism.
my 94 year old grandmother passed away sunday. funeral was on wednesday. watching this made me think of her..... and all the people who NEVER came to visit her unless they wanted a babysitter - before my dad ran them off for that. no one ever called or stopped by except for a couple of her grandkids. i was one of them. we would talk about old times, gardening, music, things like that. i had a sick goat i couldn't leave alone and she let me bring it with me during one visit. i had him in a diaper and onesie like you'd put on a baby. she thought that was the cutest thing, a baby goat hopping around her living room. said she had never even seen a goat up close. two weeks before she passed away i spent a few days with her, not knowing she was that close. i baked her a red velvet cake and made potato soup and a few other things she liked. everyone says it, but if you only knew the last time you would see someone was the last time you'd see them you'd do and say so many things different. i wish life had a rewind button. so here i am, watching this old cartoon that came out when she was a young woman, starting her life just like the one at the end of the story. and i keep thinking about all those people at her funeral who never found time to come see her when she was alive. they were all strangers to me anyway. living their own lives. i hope their grand kids treat them better.
I've witnessed this unkind behavior towards our Elders ... it's so sad, and I know it hurts because I was the one, like you, who did take the time to visit, care and take great interest in them. Appreciate your sharing ... many thanks. You have a beautiful channel. 🙂
She was lucky to have such a great Granddaughter. Your words are beautiful, and she's looking down from Heaven, once again that young girl, that I guarantee.
When I was a little boy me Mum took me to the movies and we watched this cartoon. She told me we had to leave as I was so upset over seeing the little house in pain. That was 70 years ago now. Me Mum died when I was 13. The next time I saw this cartoon was in the 80s and I became wildly hysterical all over again, which freaked out me mates. I was, of course, reminded of Mum. I still get very upset and always cry when I watch this even now as an old man. 😢😢
I live in a little house in the country, I love it. Gave it some love, new siding, a new porch, a new kitchen and it's good as new. It's basically a tiny little one bedroom cottage but it's so peaceful. Hopefully I made my little house happy again by showing her some love. 🙂
As did my Mom! She always hated living in the city, and so in 2003 she bought a little house on an acre of land out in the countryside beside a small cattle farm and a stretch of woods. She loves it more than anything else and has been improving the house and gardens since the day she moved in.
ramesh Kumar traditional Disney cartoons? Like Snow White or Lady and the Tramp? Me too. A lot a lot. I love "Frozen", "Moana", "Big hero 6", but they are not traditionally drawn. So many not traditionally drawn movies in a row. Miss old Disney and 90s idealism (idealism cos of Disneys Golden Age).
Walt disney n warner bros collection swat cat ,mask, dexter, ducktales, talespin ,jhonny quest zoro ,simba ,lion king, timon and pumbaa , xmen, spiderman, batman , donald duck, goofy n manny more i wish dey remake this series
I wached it as a child of 7 -10 years with my family in Algeria,I remember it was narrated in french,now I am 46 years old and I live in USA since 2004.
I love the design of the house. I like how certain pieces of the house make up its face. Like the steps being its lips and the curtains being partially opened to make It’s pupils. It's very creative. 😌👌
These old little cartoons are so true to life and relatable, even to this day. Once you grow up from being a kid and watching them again as an adult it feels kind of surreal. Thanks go to the cartoonists who made them, we will never see content like this again.
This tells quite a lot, What I got was the message that some of us just like things small and simple, rather than big and huge. Progress is indeed progress, but we tend to forget what it's like to live simply and modestly in the process
The house is a metaphor for people who deserve a second chance at happiness. Just because "progress" has destroyed your purpose in life, it doesn't mean you won't find fulfillment somewhere else.
I actually live in a little house on a little hill way out in the country in Massachusetts. With an added bonus of having the beach just a ten minute walk. I'm very greatful and I love this story.
Exactly! Many people seem to think the story is about choosing to live in a house away from the city, but that’s not the point of this cartoon. The point is as kids we identify with the feelings of the character, and as you can see humans aren’t the characters in this story. The buildings are, and how they behave like snobs towards the sincere little house. She’s lonely and depressed, but has beautiful memories and “stands her ground” - lovely. Then things get better.
What I love about these old cartoons and honestly it led up to the early 2000s, they weren’t afraid to show you the ugly truth of reality. But, through all the ugly there’s still happy endings! It’s sad today seeing stories exist but not having the same strong feeling as the ones from not so long ago and funny enough not much has changed. It’s still all very relatable.
These short Disney films were the best and easily remembered. Glad to see the little house again after all these years and still happy he found happiness. Joe S
I remember watching this when I was a kid. I loved it. How lovely Disney productions were when they remembered they were making films (and theme parks) for children.
Pretty impressive how the family kept a stranglehold on that one plot of land through what I'm sure was decades worth of legal battles. Then as soon as the sky scrapers went up, the land value did as well. Sold the land, then took their little house with them.
Yeah, there was kind of an infamous hold out house in Orlando, Fla. It was probably built in the mid 1880’s, and as the years went on, downtown moved north. This house had two storefronts built where it’s front porch was, a gas station on the north end of its property, and a twelve story hotel to the south. They tore it down in about 1941, I think.
7:14 Look at this animation. This is a harness chain being pulled up against the face of the house, but instead of just having the chain animate pulling taut, it was animated interacting with the boards on the houses face, incredible weight and timing and believable movement.
Beautiful story with a very deep meaning behind it. Reminds me of my parents buying a 1912 house when they got married August 23, 1948 with a beautiful wooded acre. My childhood home.
I saw this as a kid and forgot about it. I almost cried rewatching it because that's the story of my house. We moved it almost 50 miles to save it and now it's in the country.
It’s funny because I am from Romania and had no idea you could move a whole house. We don’t do that here, except now there are those prefabs that can be moved and require no building permit. Anyway, so back when I was a kid I didn’t understand the ending, but I identified with the house and her feelings of depression. People would always fight around me and I just wanted some peace, not that empty feeling inside.
@@AdinaIspasin the US houses are all made out of wood. At most they’re skinned in brick which is hard to move but most are sided with wood or faux wood grained composite like concrete cement board or vinyl siding. Anyways they split old houses like this in half and ship them by tractor trailer on the highways in the US with a wide load sign similar to a mobile or prefab home. It’s rare but possible and not unheard of however in todays day and age most people prefer new builds and or mcmansions so they’d rather tear down a crapshack and build larger or they’d rather just move to the country and start fresh with a new build
Bigrignohio I agree. I was brought up in USSR controlled Poland and they had this kind of photographic animation for the children too. I think it’s more heart warming than the new dull and lifeless computer graphic that we use today.
I didn’t think a cartoon about a little house would make me cry 😢 but this touches too close to home. It really connects with how I feel about certain situations in life
It was the great-great granddaughter of the builder. In the book she remembered her grandmother's stories about the house, and she when found it had it relocated to the countryside to live in it happily ever after. According to Wikipedia the house and the skyscrapers have a cameo in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
the woman in the first has the red hair, but the woman in the last has the yellow hair. The man in the first has mustache. They are different😂but at the first, I thought that they are same
This was my favorite book as a child. I remember it was in our elementary School library. Years later, I was at a sale somewhere and I found the book in a box, when I opened it up it had been the same book that was in our elementary School library. It still had a couple of old library cards in it where you had to sign them out, I bet my name was wrote down on almost every line of the checkout card. LOL About it and kept it for a while but I moved around a lot and it eventually got lost in the shuffle. A few years later after I got married I was able to find the book brand new and I purchased a copy. A few years after that I gave that copy to my grandson This book in the beautiful artwork obviously had a profound effect on me. To this day I absolutely love old antebellum homes and architecture. Every time I see a dilapidated old house somewhere out in the country, I always think to myself how I would love to give this beautiful house some love. And I think of my favorite book and it's beautiful artwork.
This and The Little Blue Coupe (actually a convertible) are my two all time favorite cartoons. I am now 56 years old and they both still warm my heart and wet my eyes.
Как мне нравился этот мультфильм когда я был маленьким. Посмотрел аж ком в горле от нахлынувших воспоминаний о беззаботном детстве. VHS кассетах и ламповом телевизоре.
Very cute short story, very true how moral the story goes. I live in a house that was built in 1850 and I have neighbors telling me it wasn't lived in for 30 years because the neighbor next to us made it a storage house after the owner passed away. The neighborhood was in bad shape too till we had people flipping houses and selling them. Now my neighborhood looks much better then it did after we moved in 7 years ago. It's like don't give up hope.
The story is indeed about hope and connection, not about house-flipping. The character with feelings is the house, not the humans living in it. Her neighbors, the other sentient buildings, are behaving like snobs and leaving her with an empty feeling inside, battered and bruised although she did nothing wrong (just wanted connection, but ultimately, it is all inside, as ourselves - someone will see our value). I love that it inspires people to share house anecdotes but seriously, they’re missing the meaning entirely. “Stand your ground, someone will see your true value”…
I have noticed that too. They have grown tired of the constant rush and want some peace. I and everyone else just hopes they don't bring the crazy ones with them.
We live out in the country as well, and have for 9 years now. We have half an acre, one big house, and a small house on it. My Mom lives in the small one, my wife and I in the big one. Very happy, and we have a nice big veggie garden every year. City life sucks!!
Douglas Griffiths Wow! That is the very reason why my mom wants to buy a house in the country. No mess, no bs, and friendly. People mind their business as long as it doesn't involve them or you're not hurting anyone. You are very lucky Douglas, me and my mom hope to be living like you and your wife soon.
The country isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's overly romanticized. I lived in Montana for two years, and many of those people only lived there because it's the only life they knew. Generations of the same families were raised there before the USA became a nation. It was more of a fear of change for many of them. And of course there were the "rugged" self-sufficient types who wanted to live off the grid.
I miss old Disney cartoons almost as much as I miss my Mom. We saw so many Disney movies and cartoons as I was growing up in the 50's and 60's...life was good back then.
It's truly amazing that such an involved history was told in such an entertaining way in 8 minutes. An entire urban evolution presented through it. The first time I saw this animated feature I loved it immediately.
In my childhood days I was watching this cartoon in my grandma's house..i never forget those days i always remember those pleasant days...nd this magical cartoon
This animation is actually quite tragic once you realize this was probably inspired by Walt Disney's childhood and the gas fire that killed his mother😢
I think the message behind this story is that sometimes, what we call "progress" isn't always beneficial. The narrator says that there's one thing about progress -- "It progresses." It sure does, but there are times when it progresses too fast!
These old Disney-produced cartoon still cast its magic spell upon us. Wish we could resurrect all those original Disney cartoons for their wholesome appeal & the great lessons our very young could learn from. Thank you for uploading this on youtube. 😊😊😊
Estas Caricaturas son realmente bellas, jamás pasaran de moda, porque tienen una singular belleza y trasmiten mucha ternura, me encantan...Gracias Disney.!! 😊❤
I always liked this story. My parents got me the hardcover book version of it when I was little, while we were moving from an apartment in the city, in the mid-1980s, into our "little house, on a little hill, way out in the country", which was a log cabin that my dad built himself (with his brothers' help) where my parents still live now, so it always reminded me of my own childhood. I never knew that Disney had made a cartoon version until now. The narrator sounds like the voice of Winnie the Pooh.
When you watch the cartoon it’s not about people living in a house, though. It’s about how the house feels, she is the main character. Humans are just marginal, everything happens between the buildings and how they behave towards each other. It’s interesting for me why people assume the everyday meaning should be the takeaway (“oh I’m just going to buy a house” = capitalistic) when there’s obviously a magical aspect to a sentient house, lol. We’re meant to identify with her, and “stand our ground” through the pain.
Did yall see that building demo @5:00 ?! That must've taken at least 100 frames to animate (at 12 fps for usual on-twos animations), each brick separating off the main structure. No algorithm or scripts involved, just disciplined skillfulness.
