Walt Disney - The Little House - 1952

[@aliceputt3133]

I saw this as a child and remembered it ever since. I was so happy to see it here and watch it again. I am 71 and I cried again at the end.

[@beerrox711]

Disney would air it from time to time during its toontown tv show in the 90s. Always did like this cartoon. Maybe it’s why I’m such a sucker for old electronics, and why I prefer to keep my TVs, phones, computers etc. going as long as it’s functional. Nothing or anyone is truly ever obsolete.

my 94 year old grandmother passed away sunday. funeral was on wednesday. watching this made me think of her..... and all the people who NEVER came to visit her unless they wanted a babysitter - before my dad ran them off for that. no one ever called or stopped by except for a couple of her grandkids. i was one of them. we would talk about old times, gardening, music, things like that. i had a sick goat i couldn't leave alone and she let me bring it with me during one visit. i had him in a diaper and onesie like you'd put on a baby. she thought that was the cutest thing, a baby goat hopping around her living room. said she had never even seen a goat up close. two weeks before she passed away i spent a few days with her, not knowing she was that close. i baked her a red velvet cake and made potato soup and a few other things she liked. everyone says it, but if you only knew the last time you would see someone was the last time you'd see them you'd do and say so many things different. i wish life had a rewind button. so here i am, watching this old cartoon that came out when she was a young woman, starting her life just like the one at the end of the story. and i keep thinking about all those people at her funeral who never found time to come see her when she was alive. they were all strangers to me anyway. living their own lives. i hope their grand kids treat them better.

[@AdinaIspas]

Exactly! Many people seem to think the story is about choosing to live in a house away from the city, but that’s not the point of this cartoon. The point is as kids we identify with the feelings of the character, and as you can see humans aren’t the characters in this story. The buildings are, and how they behave like snobs towards the sincere little house. She’s lonely and depressed, but has beautiful memories and “stands her ground” - lovely. Then things get better.

[@sadeaton]

Especially if their house wasn’t built on a solid foundation. 😉

[@AdinaIspas]

Yayyy, someone who gets the actual meaning of the cartoon! Which isn’t about buying or flipping houses, or about living in the country, but about you being a little house in itself… searching for peace and some sunshine. The message is about standing your ground, and not letting those snobs get you down. It’s about inner value and about those who appreciate that value. Otherwise what would be the purpose of personifying the house, giving it eyes, relating to her feelings? If we just think of it as a normal house, the deeper meaning is lost and it becomes just a capitalistic sentimental view of old houses.

This house had two storefronts built where it’s front porch was, a gas station on the north end of its property, and a twelve story hotel to the south. They tore it down in about 1941, I think.

I remember watching this when I was a kid. I loved it. How lovely Disney productions were when they remembered they were making films (and theme parks) for children.

[@MusicIsMyName96]

This is why I love the country. Peace and quiet.

[@charliemartin-k7m]

I use to live in the country but sadly now everyone else is moving out there.

[@MusicIsMyName96]

I have noticed that too. They have grown tired of the constant rush and want some peace. I and everyone else just hopes they don't bring the crazy ones with them.

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

We live out in the country as well, and have for 9 years now. We have half an acre, one big house, and a small house on it. My Mom lives in the small one, my wife and I in the big one. Very happy, and we have a nice big veggie garden every year. City life sucks!!

[@MusicIsMyName96]

Douglas Griffiths Wow! That is the very reason why my mom wants to buy a house in the country. No mess, no bs, and friendly. People mind their business as long as it doesn't involve them or you're not hurting anyone. You are very lucky Douglas, me and my mom hope to be living like you and your wife soon.

[@henrythegreatamerican8136]

The country isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's overly romanticized. I lived in Montana for two years, and many of those people only lived there because it's the only life they knew. Generations of the same families were raised there before the USA became a nation. It was more of a fear of change for many of them. And of course there were the "rugged" self-sufficient types who wanted to live off the grid.

I always liked this story. My parents got me the hardcover book version of it when I was little, while we were moving from an apartment in the city, in the mid-1980s, into our "little house, on a little hill, way out in the country", which was a log cabin that my dad built himself (with his brothers' help) where my parents still live now, so it always reminded me of my own childhood. I never knew that Disney had made a cartoon version until now. The narrator sounds like the voice of Winnie the Pooh.

[@wrestlingfan2024]

Because it is the voice of Winnie the Pooh

[@AdinaIspas]

When you watch the cartoon it’s not about people living in a house, though. It’s about how the house feels, she is the main character. Humans are just marginal, everything happens between the buildings and how they behave towards each other. It’s interesting for me why people assume the everyday meaning should be the takeaway (“oh I’m just going to buy a house” = capitalistic) when there’s obviously a magical aspect to a sentient house, lol. We’re meant to identify with her, and “stand our ground” through the pain.

This was my favorite book as a child. I remember it was in our elementary School library. Years later, I was at a sale somewhere and I found the book in a box, when I opened it up it had been the same book that was in our elementary School library. It still had a couple of old library cards in it where you had to sign them out, I bet my name was wrote down on almost every line of the checkout card. LOL About it and kept it for a while but I moved around a lot and it eventually got lost in the shuffle. A few years later after I got married I was able to find the book brand new and I purchased a copy. A few years after that I gave that copy to my grandson This book in the beautiful artwork obviously had a profound effect on me. To this day I absolutely love old antebellum homes and architecture. Every time I see a dilapidated old house somewhere out in the country, I always think to myself how I would love to give this beautiful house some love. And I think of my favorite book and it's beautiful artwork.
