Disney History on Instagram: "Did you know there was a song cut from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? Ward Kimball was assigned to animate a scene where the dwarfs each have a funny way of slurping their soup. After animating the sequence for 8 months, Walt broke the news to Walt that the scene was going to be cut. Ward was heartbroken, but Walt made it up to him by assigning Ward a character in the studio’s next feature, Pinocchio’s conscience, Jimmy Cricket."

Melody was supposed to be the first entry in a series of shorts about music. Only two films were produced, the second being the Academy Award winning, Toot, Whistle, Plunk, and Boom. If you haven’t seen either of the Adventures in Music shorts but recognize Professor Owl and his class, clips from these films
