Moth and the Flame - Silly Symphony Walt Disney (1938) complete

A swarm of moths tear into "Ye Olde Costume Shop" as one pretty girl moth is beguiled by a hypnotic candle flame. The male moth ignores his lady to chow down on a hat. He notices her trapped in a spider web with the fire attacking and makes some attempts to save her. The Moth and the Flame is a Silly Symphony that debuted on April 1, 1938. Most of the time, the flame is a caricature of a Latin lover. But for a few seconds at one time, it takes on the caricatured appearance of Walt Disney. This is a beautiful classic silly symphony cartoon that's almost forgotten. I hope you like it.

Let's see... "Playing with fire can get you burned" "Don't tempt fate" "Flew too close to the sun" "Only YOU can prevent house fires" "Put out your damn candle when you aren't using it or it'll come to life and set your stuff ablaze"

These wonderful cartoons used to be featured on the Disney Channel in the 80s. We have a VHS tape where we recorded some hours of it. This was one of the shorts on it. For some reason the part where the mask's face melted and turned from happy to sad always stuck with me.

Glad I found it or I wouldn't have slept tonight...lol Also the flame turning blue was the other flash back but couldn't remember.

I don´t know if it was just me, but as a (little) child I had a kind of impression that in a number of their old shorts Disney seemed to love burning butts form characters of theirs; probably not so "fashionable" nowadays... This moth, some gang in a western Mickey short, and even the main characters (Donald, Pluto, Goofy and Mickey himself) they all went at some moment through that harrowing experience. Those scenes impacted me as a child a great deal.

It's actually the moth caterpillars who eat things like wool. I like moths and think they're cute, but ended up with an infestation of pantry moths and had to put my foot down. They were eating paper towels and all kinds of odd stuff, no real damage but it got really annoying having moths and little caterpillars that looked like maggots everywhere.

This cartoon can be said the most hated, because the moths are the bad ones for entering the shop without permit, as well destroying products meant for customers. And the flame should have think smart, he could have multiply himself since he left fires everywhere. Means he should able to make more helping hands since everything here is burnable.

so let me get this story straight- a company of pests breaks into a house and starts to destroy property, the fire who lives there flirts with the mothgirl who takes the bait after her boyfriend forget about her in favor of food, after some playing around she decides no, the fire is persistent and chase her, starting to burn down the property to get to her, the other moths drench the place and kills the guy who lives there.
