My favourite Silly Symphony, which I grew up with on VHS!

This is just so VERY sweet! With cute and classic animation, no dialogue (just the Native American mouth sounds) and a good plot, this Silly Symphony will warm your heart. I LOVE IT VERY MUCH INDEED! I recommend this to Disney fans and for people (children AND adults) who would just like to sit down to the cutest Disney short! :)

Little Hiawatha bravely rows in his little boat, down the river, a little Native American. With his bow and arrow, he is ready to hunt the deer, the birds, the rabbits, the squirrels, the grasshoppers and the great bear...

P.S Why did the Disney company stop making these beautiful Silly Symphonies? They should still make them, they are much better than most of the TV series you get today.
