The Tortoise and the Hare is a 1935 Silly Symphony retelling the classic Aesop fable starring Toby Tortoise and Max Hare.

Synopsis[]

A retelling of Aesop's fable where the hare learns that slow and steady wins the race. In the segment, an animal race is organized in the woods by animals of all kind. The most admired of the athletes is Max Hare, who is always convinced that he will win. His opponent is Toby Tortoise, a humble turtle who doesn’t give up beating Max, despite the mockery of the audience and of Max himself. When the race starts, the hare goes off and the turtle goes slowly.

In the path, the hare stops to impress some young schoolgirl bunnies, flattering him. He starts to show his many sport abilities to them and forgets the race. Some time later, the turtle gets to the finish line and wins the race, which shocks his rival.
