This is a touching Silly Symphony cartoon from Walt Disney - a retelling of Hans Christian Anderson's tale, The Ugly Duckling. Here, somehow a swan's egg ends up in the nest of a mother goose and when it hatches along with the other ducklings, the little ugly duckling is immediately repulsed.
The ugly duckling was actually pretty adorable and will immediately grab your sympathy and heart as you see him try to get along with his new family and surroundings. But, the poor thing couldn't catch a break and seemed to remain lonely until his real family, a flock of swans, befriended him. The most satisfying part was when the mother goose and her ducklings look with awe as the ugly duckling swims away with his swan family.
A great little cartoon with a great message.
