Summary

The various clocks and watches in a clock store dance, ring alarms musically, and otherwise entertain the audience in an after hours presentation.

Reception

Variety (Nov 17, 1931, as "The Clock Shop"): "Familiar idea of clocks and figures gyrating to musical rhythm. Done before and under the same name if memory recalls, but with live figures instead of cartoon. Here as a cartoon offering a pleasant novelty filler for any program, although not hilariously so."[2]

Home media

The short was released on the 2006 Walt Disney Treasures DVD box set More Silly Symphonies.[1]
