The Old Mill

Why tonight?

• ◆Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
• ◆It goes hard on frights — not a wind-down.

The story

Night in an old mill is dramatically depicted in this Oscar-winning short in which the frightened occupants, including birds, timid mice, owls, and other creatures try to stay safe and dry as a storm approaches. As the thunderstorm worsens, the mill wheel begins to turn and the whole mill threatens to blow apart until at last the storm subsides.
