The Clock Store is a Silly Symphonies animated Disney short film . It was released in 1931. [1]

Plot [ edit ]

The various clocks and watches in a clock store dance, ring alarms musically, and otherwise entertain the audience in an after hours presentation.

Reception [ edit ]

Variety (November 17, 1931, as "The Clock Shop"): "Familiar idea of clocks and figures gyrating to musical rhythm. Done before and under the same name if memory recalls, but with live figures instead of cartoon. Here as a cartoon offering a pleasant novelty filler for any program, although not hilariously so". [2]

Home media [ edit ]
