What happens
Wynken, Blynken & Nod is a 1938 Silly Symphonies animated short film, adapted from Eugene Field's poem of the same name. Like other Symphonies at the time, it utilized the multiplane camera. It was directed by Graham Heid, produced by Walt Disney, and distributed by RKO Radio Pictures. The three children bear similarities to Michael Darling in the 1953 Disney feature film, Peter Pan.
