While Flowers and Trees was originally intended as a black and white cartoon, King Neptune was meant to be in colors already from the start, and was able to take full advantage of this.

Enraged that one of his most beloved subjects has been taken hostage and suffering, King Neptune launches an assault on the pirates and a fantastic naval battle ensues.

The pirates do a fair job of fending off their attackers, so Neptune rises to the surface and summons a storm while stirring up huge whirlpools with his trident.

[4] Disney used the character of King Neptune again, in the 1936 Mickey Mouse short Thru the Mirror, as well as in The Cold-Blooded Penguin, a segment in the 1945 film The Three Caballeros.

[5] The short was released on December 19, 2006, on Walt Disney Treasures: More Silly Symphonies, Volume Two[2] in the "From the Vault" section, because of mermaid nudity and heavy drinking (due to the fact that the film was targeting adult audiences).
