Spring Fever

A Paul Terry Terrytoon cartoon (production number 5109) in which Gandy Goose gets spring fever (the only mention of the word "spring" in this seven-minute cartoon) and runs away from home, and promptly runs into a fox, proprietor of a roadside diner, who wishes to offer goose-fricassee on his menu. Gandy's goose is about to be cooked, until he develops a sneezing-fit and sneezes his way back home. This cartoon has nothing do do with some MTK3 short with the same title.

Directed by Mannie Davis, Spring Fever leans on a strong ensemble — Roy Halee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1951.
