"The Golden Touch" is a 1935 Silly Symphonies short directed by Walt Disney, and was the last cartoon he ever directed, for reasons explained below.The plot is similar to the original King Midas story from Greek Mythology, albeit updating it from Ancient Greece to the times of Medieval Europe, obviously to keep in vogue with the fairy tale settings of the Silly Symphonies. The short begins with King Midas bragging and singing about his vast riches, which prompts a smug little elf called Goldie to appear and give him the Golden Touch, albeit with warnings that Midas ignores. Initially, Midas is thrilled at his newfound gift, but quickly discovers its side effects when he discovers that it turns whatever he eats or drinks into gold, prompting a Villainous Breakdown and him surrendering his power, kingdom, and riches for something to eat.The short is notable if just for the scorn it received from Walt himself. Apparently, Walt was unhappy with some of his directors' takes on the short and decided to try directing it himself (despite not having directed anything in years), working on the project with only two animators, Fred Moore and Norm Ferguson. It became such a failure that Walt immediately disowned the cartoon and forbade anybody from ever bringing it up around the studio, and gave up on directing short cartoons in favor of becoming a full-time producer. Reasons included that the short was stiff and lethargically paced and that Midas came off as too one-dimensional and too unsympathetic for audiences to care about him. | |

Gold Is Yellow | |
| The Golden Touch / int_1568fd23 | comment |
Gold Is Yellow: Zig-zagged. Many of the golden objects, whether turned gold by Midas's touch or not, have realistic tones and shading. However, some objects, such as the gold coins, appear more yellow due to their simplistic shading. This is probably due to the coins being drawn and inked, while the more "golden" objects are painted. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| The Golden Touch / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Midas may be a selfish, greedy jerk, but twice he is quick to offer up his kingdom to Goldie for something that, debatably, is comparatively small in relation; the first time being for the Golden Touch itself, and the second to be relieved of the curse and to simply have a hamburger to eat that won't change to gold. Doesn't make him much more sympathetic, but it is notable. | |

Kick the Dog: The first thing Midas decides to touch to see if he has the power Goldie gave him is to use it on his cat, the same cat Goldie used it on earlier as a demonstration. Not, say, his table or a door, but a cat that clearly did not want to be turned into gold again. | |

Broken Aesop: While the story seems to be trying to teach a lesson about greed and the consequences of it, it seems hollow when the ambiguity of Goldie's intentions comes to light, particularly when the elf makes off with all of Midas's possessions just to release him of the curse. | |

Magic A Is Magic A | |
| The Golden Touch / int_6c3d1777 | comment |
Magic A Is Magic A: The Golden Touch seems kind of random, but it's just absurdly specific: The tips of Midas's index fingers and the front of his face (including the inside of his mouth) turn things into gold — and only those body parts. An object turned into gold also affects anything softer that is touching it. For example, Midas's cat turns to gold when it's on a tree that Midas touches, but changing water in a birdbath doesn't affect the birdbath itself. Gasses are generally exempt. The sole exception is when he sticks a golden fork into a turkey, but only after the fork is turned into gold—the turkey doesn't turn into gold until he tries to bite it. Midas touches his own body and clothes without turning either into gold. The sole exception is when he deliberately transforms one of his teeth. Presumably, he is protected from unintentionally altering his self. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| The Golden Touch / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Midas's pet cat is never seen after being turned into gold a second time by the king. Presumably, Goldie took it along with the rest of Midas's possessions, but it's not made clear where the cat went or whether it was restored to normal (though Goldie did demonstrate earlier that he can undo the effects of the Golden Touch). We also never see whether or not Midas had any staff in his castle — and he must have had at least some, seeing how he obviously didn't cook his meal himself — leaving it up into the air as to whether or not Goldie took them as well, or if they'd just left the castle after doing their work for the day. | |

Lighter and Softer: Unlike other adaptations, this one does not have the tragic story element of Midas accidentally turning his daughter into gold (which, despite its popularity, is not part of the original myth) in favor of him just breaking down from not being able to eat anything (which unintentionally makes him less sympathetic). The story tone is also slightly more comedic than the original fable. | |

Jingle the Coins: At the beginning of the short, Midas pours some coins into his shirt and shakes around, presumably to enjoy the sound of the coins jingling. | |

Confirmed Bachelor: By his own admission, Midas cares not for women. His being the only person remaining when Goldie takes his castle implies he was unmarried. | |

No Love for the Wicked | |
| The Golden Touch / int_fb93e0f9 | comment |
No Love for the Wicked: In the opening number, King Midas mentions that he has no interest in romance, simply because he Loves Only Gold. While he's not exactly villainous, he is shown to be a selfish Jerkass in this part, before his development later on. | |

Evil-Detecting Dog | |
| The Golden Touch / int_ff6ae1f6 | comment |
Evil-Detecting Dog: Cat in this case. The king's cat knows that Goldie is no good and tries to flee from him as well as from Midas once the king gets the Golden Touch. The birds immediately flee when they see Midas approaching their birdbath. They are confused when he turns their water into a gold foam. | |
