Playful Pan is a Silly Symphonies animated Disney short film. It was released on December 27, 1930, by Columbia Pictures.^[1]

Plot

The short features the mythological god Pan playing his pan flute for the entertainment of the forest dwellers. When a lightning strike starts a forest fire, Pan leads the flames to the water, putting out the fire.^[2]

Reception

Variety (April 22, 1931) called the short an "excellent cartoon", saying: "It elicits laughs all the way and is beautifully synchronized to fit a novel idea, that of Peter Pan with his pipes, stirring animals and insects on the arrival of spring. Too much repetition in opening shots. Last three or four minutes of short devoted to a forest fire with the shooting flames represented as living characters and jumping on to everything, chasing woods inhabitants to cover. They run for Pan and he charms them with music until all jump into a pool of water where he stands. This part of short actually very funny. Longer than most cartoons, but worth the footage."^[3]

Home media

The short was released on December 19, 2006, on Walt Disney Treasures: More Silly Symphonies, Volume Two.^[1]
