Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Goddess of Spring is a 1934 Silly Symphony directed by Wilfred Jackson. While it is ostensibly an adaptation of the Greek myth of Hades and Persephone, it was actually created in order to give the Disney animators practice on drawing realistic humans, in preparation for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Unfortunately, the animators weren’t quite there yet, and the short initially flopped. Today however, it’s one of the more famous Silly Symphonies.The short opens with the Goddess of Eternal Spring frolicking through the woods, surrounded by her animal and plant subjects. As the narrator says, the whole world loves her because she keeps the Earth in eternal springtime. However, she is soon kidnapped by the god Pluto (who in this case looks a lot more like the Christian devil) so that they can be married. He takes her to his underground layer, full of jewels, fire, and dancing minions. Meanwhile, winter sets in and everyone on Earth is miserable. The Goddess is miserable too, so much so that Pluto allows her to stay above ground for 6 months out of the year, and that's why we have winter.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

All There in the Manual: The god is never referred to as “Pluto” in the short, only in the script. | |

Adaptation Distillation: The basic plot comes from the story of Hades and Persephone, but Demeter, Zeus, and the part about the pomegranate seeds are cut out. | |

Adaptation Explanation Extrication | |
| The Goddess Of Spring / int_794f3589 | comment |
Adaptation Explanation Extrication: Because there’s no pomegranate seeds in this version of the myth, there doesn’t seem to be a reason why the Goddess should keep her promise of returning every six months (unless she’s worried that Pluto might do something bad if she doesn’t). | |

The Almighty Dollar: The one thing Disney did get right about Pluto was that he was the god of wealth (because jewels are found underground). He showers the Goddess with all manner of shiny things, but it doesn't make her any happier. | |
