“The Pied Piper” is a 1933 Classic Disney Short directed by Wilfred Jackson, part of the Silly Symphonies series.It is, of course, an adaptation of The Pied Piper of Hamelin. The town of Hamelin is overrun by rats, and the Mayor offers a bag of gold to whoever will rid the town of the vermin. The Pied Piper offers his services, and leads the rats away. However, when the time comes to collect his payment, the Mayor reneges and gives him only one gold coin. As punishment, the Piper lures away all their children — but since this is a Disney short, there's actually a Happy Ending.

Magical Flutist: Along with luring rats and children, the Piper's music can also make a giant wheel of cheese appear out of thin air, and open a portal to a paradise inside a mountain.

The Runt at the End. As in the original story, a boy in crutches is struggling to keep up. Instead of being left behind, however, the Piper lets him inside the magical garden.

Adaptational Heroism
 The Pied Piper / int_3f45f1e6
comment
Adaptational Heroism: Unlike the original character, the Pied Piper doesn’t lure the rats into a river where they drown. Nor does he leave out a crippled boy. Saving the children from the corruption of the adults in Hamelin is one of his motivations.

comment
Ungrateful Bastard: The mayor and townsfolk prove themselves thankless to the Piper, dismissing his heroic deed of luring the rats away as a silly feat for playing a tune. To top it off, the mayor rewards the Piper with only one gold coin instead of the bag of gold he promised.

Bullying a Dragon: After getting their rat problem solved, the town of Hamelin decides to mock the piper and give him a single coin instead of the full bag of coins the mayor promised, resulting immediately in the piper taking revenge by luring away all the children in the town.

Never My Fault: The citizens easily blame their mayor for causing the Piper to take away their children. They simply ignore how they also participated in mocking the Piper while proving themselves ungrateful that he solved their rat problem.

Abusive Parents: The children of Hamelin are shown doing all the housework while their parents were out, so it's no wonder they prefer following the Piper rather than staying at home.

Cartoon Cheese: The rats eat a whole wheel of Swiss cheese, except for the holes! Later, the Piper conjures up a giant wheel of cheese, complete with holes. Once all the rats are eating it, the Piper makes it, along with the rats, disappear.
