Summer is a Walt Disney short film released on January 6, 1930.[1] Directed by Ub Iwerks,[2] it is the sequel to the short Springtime (1929). It is 6 minutes long.[1]

Reception

Motion Picture News (Feb 1, 1930): "Simply Grand. And still they come! This young man, named Walt Disney, is helping to supply an entire nation with a constant load of laughs. The Silly Symphony series in Summer adds another to a long list of delightful bits of cartoon humor. The animation by Ub Iwerks is clever in the extreme. He gets the most ludicrous of situations from his characters which, with the additional nicely timed and properly selected music, make this one reeler exactly what it is."[3]

Variety (Feb 26, 1930): "Good anywhere. A Disney creation in the Silly Symphony series. One objection si that it resembles too keenly a previous release by the same maker called Springtime. In both creations weather breezes are denoted through leaping and contortionist insects, plants, and in a similar manner. Withal, however, it has its snickers. Seizing upon caterpillars and butterflies to express the freedom of musical summer carries its own laughs, which in essence is the spirit of the present cartoon. Carl Stalling's musical arrangement is light, airy and rhythmic."[4]
