Somewhere in Dreamland
1936 · Film · short · 9 min
Directed by Dave Fleischer
A poor boy and girl in rags gather wood in the snow. They pass by a tailor, a butcher and a baker, all of whom pity the children. Later, they arrive home. Their poor mother sets before them the only food she can: Stale bread. The children get ready for bed; In their dreams, visions of ice cream and donuts, candies and cakes fill their sleeping minds-- Will they awake to the same sorry situation?

Linked in the article, Somewhere in Dreamland [1] has been a staple "Christmas movie" in our family since my daughters were very young. Besides admiring the amazing animation tricks in the piece I like the song and the way it reminds me of my own childhood (wishing for those things I knew my mother could not afford). Very sweet.
