To Spring (1936)
To Spring is a 1936 animated musical short part of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Happy Harmonies series. Although credited as a Harman-Ising production, this short was actually the first cartoon to be directed by the future cartoon giant William Hanna, along with animator Paul Fennell. It is one of just three MGM cartoons that are in the public domain, and, as of 2025, the only Happy Harmonies short in the public domain.
