"Goddess of Spring"

For those who have the special edition of Snow White that came out many years ago, you will know that there is a lot of bonus features that tells us of the first animated motion picture that premiered back in 1937. But, if you look at the whole DVD, you will see that there is a short that was made by animators to test if they could animate a human being properly.

Seeing as the Disney Animation Studios, last known as "Silly Symphony Production" they made a short on the Goddess of Spring, based on the Greek mythology of Persephone who was stolen by Hades, and though she hated it down there, made a deal with Hades to allow her to come up above for 6 months out of the year, and the other 6 months to be in Hades, which explains why the earth goes cold for winter, for there is no Persephone. This short is done beautifully, and seeing the short is one of my favorites even over some of the Pixar shorts we have now. It is a great piece of animation that I think any Disney fan should watch. Take a look, it is definitely worth watching, and shows how much of that animation was helped in creating Snow White.
