Farmyard Symphony is a Silly Symphony that debuted on October 14, 1938 inspired by Farmyard Song.
Synopsis
The daily routine of the farm animals, set to music. The high point is a rooster serenading a chicken, with all the animals joining in. But then comes the sound that's even more welcome to the animals: the farmer and his wife with food.
