The Old Mill

In this Oscar-winning animated short, a severe summer thunderstorm threatens the natural community of animals populating an old abandoned windmill in the country. As the storm worsens, the mill wheel begins to turn and the whole mill threatens to blow apart, putting the occupants - including birds, mice, owls, bats, and frogs - in grave danger. Through its realistic depictions of animal behavior, complex lighting and color effects, and innovative animation techniques, The Old Mill creates a suspenseful and engaging experience that showcases Disney's commitment to pushing the boundaries of animation.
