Featured review
Another of my favorite Disney rarities. And this was a very informative one. Who knew that there were connections to these nursery rhymes that were inspired directly or indirectly by real events, like I heard somewhere that Ring Around The Rosey has something to do with the black plague. I had two books on the nursery rhymes when I was little, one of them was a Disney read-along. Before watching this short months ago on Youtube, I had no idea that there really was more to them than the basics of which I know. One of the most interesting shorts ever made by Disney I think. I recommend this to anybody who'd like to learn more about how the nursery rhymes originated and their history, and how they're linked to their inspirations. By the way, the version that I first saw was a Wonderful World Of Color episode featuring Ludwig Von Drake as narrator and Herman in intervals, which I like more than the original.
