Walt Disney

Winning The Academy Award For best Short Subject (Cartoon) at The 1932 Ceremony

Friday Nov 18, 1932
The Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, California, U.S.

Disney, always keen to embrace new technology, filmed Flowers and Trees (1932) in full-color three-strip Technicolor; he was also able to negotiate a deal giving him the sole right to use the three-strip process until August 31, 1935. All subsequent Silly Symphony cartoons were in color. Flowers and Trees was popular with audiences and won the Academy Award for best Short Subject (Cartoon) at the 1932 ceremony.
