This is a short that's cute and fun enough but I definitely wouldn't say that it's representative of nighttime in any scary way, it doesn't have any of the impressive gothic atmosphere that a short like "The Skeleton Dance" screams out so well, I mean it takes place at night but that's about it, it's really just about the creatures, I think a more fitting name for it would have been Swamp! I liked the effect that they managed to do with the glowing of the fireflies, it's really well conveyed despite the lack of colour, and I enjoyed all of the fun stuff with the frogs that kinda hijack the short, especially the part where the one frog is hopping over the lilly pads after the mosquito, that was a very well done bit of animation going in time to music, which is really all this short is about. The best looking part is the beautiful opening scene with the swaying reeds. A fair bit of the stuff in this, particularly the chorus of frogs, was redone later on to far greater effect in "The Old Mill", quite possibly the greatest of the Silly Symphonies. There's some touches that I dislike a lot, like the stupid goofy moon and the fireflies who swap heads, that's too bizarre and unappealing that I don't think it fits the picture. So to me this is good, but it's not even close to being one of my favourites of this series, I like them better when the animation is just a little bit more evolved in quality, and when there is at least colouring. But those are small nitpicks really, despite its limitations it is a fun short. Basic, but far from being something I'd consider bad, worth seeing..just, nice!
