Story
An elaborate dream fantasy based on the popular children's poem of three children playing and floating among the stars.

백설공주와 일곱 난쟁이
Screenplay
아주 먼 옛날, 왕비는 뱃속의 아이가 눈처럼 하얀 피부에 사과처럼 붉은 입술, 장미빛 뺨을 지닌 공주이기를 빌었다. 드디어 왕비는 예쁜 공주를 낳고 그녀를 백설공주라 불렀다. 백설공주는 모든 사람들의 사랑을 받으며 자라났지만 왕비가 죽고 새로 들어온 계모가 여왕이 되자 혹독한 시달림을 받는다. 계모에게는 신비로운 마술 거울이 있었는데, 어느 날 여왕이 세상에서 가장 아름다운 사람은 누구냐고 질문하자 마술 거울은 백설공주라고 대답한다. 분노한 여왕은 사냥꾼을 불러 백설공주를 죽이도록 명령하지만, 사냥꾼은 백설공주의 순수한 마음씨에 감동하여 그녀를 죽이는 대신 계모를 피해서 도망치도록 일러주는데...
Little Hiawatha
Storyboard
The "fearless warrior" of the poem is a very small child whose pants keep falling down. He tries to shoot a grasshopper with his arrow, but the grasshopper spits in his eye. He tries to shoot a bunny rabbit, but the rabbit is too cute and pathetic. He tracks a bear, and runs after its cub and right into the mother. But the rest of the animals, thankful for him saving the rabbit, come to his rescue.
Don Donald
Story
Donald is courting Daisy (called Donna, here in her first appearance) Duck in Mexico. He arrives on a burro, which doesn't get along at all well with her; she convinces him to buy a car. They head through the desert, but the car breaks down, and throws Donald out, then takes off on its own with Daisy trapped inside the rumble seat. The car hits a rock, throwing Daisy into a mud puddle, to Donald's excessive amusement. Daisy pulls a unicycle from her purse, and rides off.
Three Blind Mouseketeers
Story
As the title implies, the three blind mice are musketeers. The cat sets a number of traps for them, which they all evade (apparently without realizing it) while he sleeps. The cat eventually wakes up and begins chasing them unsuccessfully, thanks to their teamwork.
