There were a surprising number of W movies to choose from: Wages of Sin (about the dangers of white slavers and prostitution), Wee Wee Monsieur (the Three Stooges join the French Foreign Legion) or Woman Against Woman (the angry ex-wife is out to destroy her husband's new marriage). But I decided to go with a Silly Symphony cartoon from Walt Disney.
Here's a little history on the Silly Symphonies:
The SILLY SYMPHONIES, which Walt Disney produced for a ten year period beginning in 1929, are among the most interesting of series in the field of animation. Unlike the Mickey Mouse cartoons in which action was paramount, with the Symphonies the action was made to fit the music. There was little plot in the early Symphonies, which featured lively inanimate objects and anthropomorphic plants and animals, all moving frantically to the soundtrack. Gradually, however, the Symphonies became the school where Walt's animators learned to work with color and began to experiment with plot, characterization and photographic special effects. The pages of Fable & Fairy Tale, Myth & Mother Goose were all mined to provide story lines and even Hollywood's musicals & celebrities were effectively spoofed. It was from this rich soil that Disney's feature-length animation was to spring. In 1939, with SNOW WHITE successfully behind him and PINOCCHIO and FANTASIA on the near horizon, Walt phased out the SILLY SYMPHONIES; they had run their course & served their purpose.
Here is Walt himself introducing the cartoon. The cartoon itself is not available.
