Peter and the Wolf is a 1946 animated short based on the 1936 musical composition/fairy tale by Sergei Prokofiev, produced by Walt Disney and narrated by Sterling Holloway.

Prokofiev, while touring the West in 1938, visited Los Angeles and met Walt Disney.

Disney was impressed, and considered adding an animated version of Peter and the Wolf to Fantasia, which was to be released in 1940.

Due to the war, these plans fell through, and it was not until 1946 that Disney released his version of Peter and the Wolf.
