About Color Classics: Somewhere in Dreamland (1936)

Somewhere in Dreamland is a 1936 animated short in Max Fleischer's Color Classics series. The film was produced by Max Fleischer, directed by Dave Fleischer, and was animated by Fleischer veterans Seymour Kneitel and Roland Crandall.

On a winter evening, a young brother and sister in ragged clothes pull a wagon through town, gathering firewood. They pass by several merchants' shops and stop for a moment to admire the confectioneries in the bakery. As a friendly baker sees the children, he goes inside and comes back with cupcakes for them, but they have already left. The baker, the tailor, and the market owner gather to make a plan to help the poor children. The children reach their rundown home and sit down to supper consisting of hard bread and flat water.
