Walt Disney gives the Noah's ark story some fun treatment here as he and his sons have to construct and water-tight boat then populate it with a pair of just about everything from an aardvark to a zebra. A torrent ensues and Noah decides to have a dance to take everyone's mind of things - and that's when we get a niftily constructed ditty from "Harriet Hippo" warning never to mention thermidor to a lobster. Then the rain stops and Mount Ararat beckons. The subject matter gives the animators pretty much carte blanche to use everything from a clothes peg to a ball of cotton wool to represent the construction, effective storm sequence and finally the creatures who make the journey. The whole thing is sung in rhyme, and for the most part that works quite well delivering an engagingly jolly representation of the old testament tale of God when he is a bit narked. Curious they all seem to have made it home afterwards, too!
