Forest Animals (Winter)

The Forest Animals are characters featured in the 1930 Silly Symphony short Winter.
==Appearances==
===Winter===
A wolf is first seen howling in the woods during a cold winter while two blackbirds react shivering to the cold wind. A mother bear and her two cubs are seen hibernating while two of them attempt to sleep for the winter. Later, as the trees dance to the used, four birds sing along to the music perching on antlers, revealing to be a stag hiding under the snow. The stag trots along the snow-covered forest in a happy manner and later ice-skates on a frozen lake, accompanied by two does. Later, squirrels slide down tree branches while other animals below them - raccoons, beavers, and skunks, ice-skate on the frozen lake while birds fly above them, followed by a lone raccoon sneezing to get snow from a branch covered over him. All the other animals - consisting of raccoons, deer, foxes, bighorn sheep, and others have fun ice-skating while a bear cub plays the icicles on a hibernating bear, attempting to wake him up. This, however, only irritated the bear at first, but suddenly dances with the cub switching from his angry to happy personality randomly just before he danced on the snow.
Later, a moose swims in a river while bellowing and using his antlers as oars and later trotting across the snowy forest just before he arrives at a groundhog's home where all the other animals are gathered. A skunk knocks on Mr. Groundhog's door, which he exits and approaches the animals outside his house to give out a weather report that the weather is good, causing the animal to all rejoice together at first - unaware of a snowstorm approaching, while Mr. Groundhog dances with his shadow to impress the animals. However, the snowstorm arrives, causing all the animals, including the groundhog (and his shadow) to leave and return to their homes. Amongst the animals leaving are rabbits, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, birds, bears, and a porcupine forcing them in a small tree. The porcupine shoots his quills on the bear to free up space - unaware that he left the two cubs behind, so that he can enter the tree.

==Trivia==
*In real life, porcupines do not shoot their quills, because they are loose and easily pulled out, unlike the one in Winter. 
*A clip from Winter featuring the forest animals was featured in the 2009 Walt Disney Family Museum original film, Christmas with Walt Disney, which was shown during the holiday season at the Museum showcasing clips from Disney's Christmas cartoons and home movies of the Disney family.
