Midnight in a Toy Shop (1930)

Synopsis

Midnight in a Toy Shop is a 1930 American animated short film directed by Wilfred Jackson. It is the twelfth film in the Silly Symphonies series.

Outside, in the middle of a snowstorm, a poor spider clings onto his web beside the hanging sign of a toyshop but is thrown off by the powerful wind. He sneaks in through the door's keyhole and finds himself inside the shop, where he has fun mimicking the sound of a ticking cuckoo clock. When the clock's bird pops out to strike the hour, the spider hides inside a box. When the bird goes back into the clock, the spider creeps along the store's floor. He walks backward and bumps into a large pile of alphabet cubes, the cubes all fall down and scare the spider.
