@TheaterMarine88 She also kind of looks like Lilo’s sister from “Lilo and Stitch”
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
The butterfly looks a Vanessa from The Little Mermaid at 3:36.
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
2:57 – 3:03.
That reminds me of what my little sister did in our older sister’s wedding gown, she would spin herself into a complete cocoon.

@skinnernick Not weird at all, that’s probably what they were going for 😉
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
2:02 “(low-pitch) Spring, spring, spring… Wonderful, wonderful springtime… (high-pitch) Tralalalalala tralalalala lalala…” I always laugh at the caterpillar…
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
“Cause Now It’s…Springtime, For Pluto & Germany….” (Sorry, had to do it)
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
@drcoxcentral LOL agreed
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
@Dragonrider1227 That part always confused me as a child, but hey who cares now? She’s hot!
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
@csgptg Ba dum dum tish! XD
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
@Dragonrider1227 i guess the best things in life can really come in small packages XD. get it?

I remember first seeing this one on one of the Walt Disney Cartoon Classics VHS tapes when I was younger and little. I concur on the male caterpillar meta-morphing into a Latina butterfly part being the highlight. A Pluto and overall Disney featurette favorite of mine considered.

Ooooh god, the part with the bees always really bothered me as a kid… still kinda does to this day. XD I think this cartoon played a good part in my fear of bees.
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
Wow, this is 1 of 3 cartoons where Pluto keeps sneezing. The other two are Pantry Pirate and Bone Bandit, just in those it was mostly throughout the cartoon. Poor dog must have awful allergies or something XD
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
Is she ever! 🙂 Super cute scene. 🙂
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
@sadlobster1 Betty Page was a pin-up and Playboy model very famous during the 50’s. So knowing that this cartoon is from the 40s, the similarities (Hairstyle, etc…) could be coincidence.
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
@KGJprodacchons A few questions;
1. Who is Betty Page, exactly?
2. If the butterfly does look like her, why did they use her appearance?
But other than that, the part when the butterfly appears is also my favorite scene; the music and the way she dances are my favorite things about it
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
3:10
Is Betty Page! 😀
Enough kidding, I also love that scene.
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
holy crap its called a CARTOON jesus christ man
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
do not Delete this Please?.
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
It’s just a Disney cartoon it don’t have to make sense which made it kick ass
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
One of my favorite all time Disney classics!
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
(Or maybe it is a skilled ventriloquist that can even sing while metamorphosing in its cocoon). The point is, the voice is not definitive proof that the caterpillar is male. What would have made this short even better is if the butterfly also sang while dancing. I’m sure the lyrics would be just as interesting and it would allow a contrast with the caterpillar’s voice. Unfortunately, the butterfly is disturbingly mute.
Sorry for the long post/monologue.
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
the voice is deep, though it is my belief that this is a gag that is commonly implemented in cartoons where a voice underground is amplified and deepened due to the echoing effects of being in a cavern. Once the caterpillar emerges, its voice is quite high and falsetto and when it is climbing Pluto’s tail, its voice is a deep bass, but upon closer inspection, one can see that the caterpillar is not actually moving its mouth, so that may not be its voice.

First of all, real caterpillars are more or less physiologically androgynous as they do not have the capability to mate, so their gender doesn’t mean anything until after they mature into butterflies. They can only be potentially male or potentially female, so the caterpillar in this short could be potentially female, we just can’t tell. It is probably the caterpillar’s deep singing voice that cements the assumption that it is male, however, before it comes out of the burrow,
February 4th, 2011 at 7:39 am
It was probably the animators’ intent to contrast opposites in the metamorphosis; the magical transformation from a male, bug-like, funny looking caterpillar to a female, human-like, beautiful butterfly, and hence the apparent gender switch, indicative of the transformative, regenerative, new-life, etc. aspects of Spring. However, this question of gender got me thinking, if one wants to insist on there being no gender switch, the male-ness of the caterpillar could be questioned.
