Music Land is an animated short produced by Walt Disney and directed by Wilfred Jackson as part of the Silly Symphonies series of animated shorts. It was released on October 5, 1935. The short can be viewed here on Walt Disney Animation's official YouTube channel.The short takes place in a world called Music Land, which is populated by anthropomorphic musical instruments, and centers on two kingdoms, the Land of Symphony and the Isle of Jazz, which are separated by the Sea of Discord. The Princess of the Land of Symphony (who is a violin) and the Prince of the Isle of Jazz (an alto saxophone) are in love, but the Queen of the Land of Symphony (a cello) disapproves when she finds out and imprisons the Prince. The Prince sends a note for help to his father, the King of the Isle of Jazz (a baritone saxophone), who declares war on the Land of Symphony in response. Will the Prince and the Princess get their happy ending, and will harmony between the Land of Symphony and the Isle of Jazz ever be achieved?The short is notable for being an early experiment with sound in animation; it gets a lot of mileage out of its music, using snippets from various popular classical, jazz and miscellaneous tunes. It also uses various musical tones in order to express the characters' speech.Grim Natwick was an animator. | |

| Music Land / int_32821ceb | comment |
The Unintelligible: The short doesn't contain any actual speech; instead, the characters speak to each other with musical tones, which differ depending on the instrument they're supposed to be. However, you can still get a general idea of what they're supposed to be saying. | |

True Blue Femininity | |
| Music Land / int_422cefe3 | comment |
True Blue Femininity: The Queen and Princess of the Land of Symphony both wear blue dresses, though the Queen doesn't play this as straight since she's a lot more stern and strict. It's worth noting that the short was made when blue was still considered a predominantly feminine color. | |

Bizarrchitecture: The buildings are all shaped like musical instruments. The Land of Symphony has towers shaped like pipe organs, which double as cannons when they go to war. The jail where the Prince is imprisoned is in a giant metronome. | |
