Summertime

This fable shows the struggle in nature as winter yields to spring and summer. The soundtrack, synchronized with the animated flowers, trees and animals of summer, consists of a variety of classical tunes, climaxing in the famous "Can-Can" music. Old Man Winter isn't willing to give up his reign, despite the blistering assault of the sun and the desires of polo-playing centaurs and various other classical figures of spring. Old Man Winter creates a terrifying hand shadow to scare the playful groundhog back inside. At length, Winter is subdued by a raging squadron of fireflies.

One of the centaurs appears to be fashioned after Clark Gable.
