Disney is the name when it comes to animation.  On this date in 1932, Trees and Flowers (you can watch it above) was released as the first cartoon in color, and later, the first animated short to receive an Academy Award.  Technicolor was the first developed by Herbert Thomas Kalmus, and he partnered with Disney on this project.

      I couldn’t agree more! Watching old animation is always a treat, and it reminds us of where we came from.
