The plot follows the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades, known here by his Roman name of Pluto with imagery evocative of Hell and Satan (more specifically, a traditional stage Mephistopheles).

Pluto shows concern for her unhappiness, and offers anything to make her happy; they reach the agreement that she will spend six months above ground and six below, resulting in the four seasons.

The development of the human characters in The Goddess of Spring, specifically, would lead to the eventual animation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

According to film historians, the animation skill level between The Goddess of Spring and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs appears to have a twenty-year gap between the two[citation needed]; comparatively, it was only three years.

In the United States, The Goddess of Spring appeared on the VHS tape Cartoon Classics: First Series: Volume 13: Fanciful Fables.

[2] In Japan, The Goddess of Spring appeared on Laserdisc on More Silly Symphonies, Donald Duck's 50 Crazy Years, Goin' Quackers, and Scary Tales.
