Despite its apparent cuteness, Lullaby Land is actually a cautionary cartoon aimed at infants. However, since no infant probably saw the short in its initial theatrical run, audiences of the day were presented with a nightmare scenario in which the protagonist (the baby) had no idea he was ever in danger. Basically, it’s a new parent’s worst fears come to animated life. That said, this Silly Symphony is memorable for its inventive and clever gags.
