42 years ago I first saw this short film. It feels almost the same now as it did then (I am not quite so scared of the bear but the baby rabbit still gets me). I just love it and it is a memory that has alway stayed with me. Many thanks for uploading it and many thanks to the primary school teacher that had to load the film reel into the projector to play it (I am embarrassed to say I don't remember her name). No DVD or computer. Simpler times, simpler pleasures.
How can anybody not like that little cartoon? That story is so universal: a little boy thinking he is the big man and everything he does proves that he is only a little boy Who cannot relate to that?
Is it just me, or are those the same animals from Snow White? But only more simplistic designs? Speaking of Snow White, the studio had enough financial issues funding that movie. Wouldn't they have saved money if they didn't make cartoons on the side?
I'm so glad I finally found this! I always wanted to see the cartoon the character came from. (Hiawatha often appears in the Dutch Disney weekly) Thanks a lot for posting :)
thanks for posting this, when i was little i watched this all the time but when i moved i couldn't figure out what it was called and then i accidentally came upon this and i was so happy.
I remember seeing this in my hotel in Disney World when I was a little kid. It's a cute cartoon, I'm glad to have found it again. Do they still do that, by the way? I mean, show their old cartoons on the hotel TVs in Disney World?
How rude of him to sail off w/out waving goodbye to his friends! In a children's book I had as a kid, telling this story, he does wave goodbye &, of course, so do they!
I love the poem in which this video was inspired...I dont think its inrespectful at all. Beautiful images, delicious music and sound...its exciting and brings back good old times
Gorgeous animation along with "The Old Mill" both produced in 1937 were probably precursors to Snow White also produced in 1937. If you haven't seen it yet, look at the Old Mill - an incredible piece of animation and an Academy Award winner as well.
these short Disney wordless cartoons were my absolute favourites, I had a tape with a collection of them, but I lost it... Now I found most of them here, what a joy! God bless UA-cam c:
I just bought an Indian doll for my granddaughter. I'm naming her Mimihaha. My name as grandmother is MIMI. My grandmother recited the Song of Hiawatha to me all through my childhood. I truly believe I was Cherokee in a former life. I'm sending a tom-tom to my grandson and naming the Indian portrayed on it Hiawatha. Minnehaha was Hiawatha's love.
The animation for this beautiful little film was done by Charles Thorson. He also wrote and did the illustrations for a book, 'Keeko'. There is a book over his work called, 'Cartoon Charlie' by Gene Walz.
When I was little, I almost got teary-eyed when Hiawatha started shedding tears from having second thoughts about shooting the arrow at the baby bunny. I didn't understand myself at that time.
Heehee! His pants are to big for his wee rump. :P .. I laughed when the cricket spit in his face. xD ... The bunny! ... The bear cub! This video is too cute.
Hehe! It was killing me I couldn't think of the name of this cartoon! But I specifically remembered the boat and water and finally it came to my head! Little Hiawatha! I used to laugh about his butt when this was paired with a Pocahontas VHS. Good times, lol.
Dis was also on Walt Disney Cartoon Classics: vol.13: Silly Symphonies - Facible Fables, which had same Great Mouse Detective trailer Alice in Wonderland had.
It's kinda ironic that I happened across this video a couple of days ago just when I was copying the Finnish translation of The Song of Hiawatha to my computer. Old as it is (98 years & only one edition was ever made), the Finnish translation is, in a poetic sense, a "return" translation. It was, after all, the German translation of the Finnish national epic Kalevala where Longfellow borrowed trochaic tetrameter from.
Respecting historical source material and cultural icons? Dafuq is that?! - Every Media Company Ever In all seriousness, I suppose as much as I find such material objectionable I do recognize that this is a product of its time, and therefore also a result of the prejudices and perspectives of that time. Doesn't make it right from a modern day view, but does make it historically valuable.
If I learned anything out of this cartoon it was this... ...apparently Indians during the time didn't make very good pants for tiny blokes like him... I mean, look at all the time his failpants fell?!
So true. I watch this so often with my boyfriend and I always get teary eyed and yell "please don't be mean to the bunny!"
Me and my mom are HUGE fans of Little Hiawatha....especially my mom, this was always her favorite little cartoon of all time. :)

This was my favorite cartoon as a child. I am so happy to have found it and to be able to watch it again as an adult :-)
The memories!
I've been wanting for a while to watch this again. thank you :)
How can anybody not like that little cartoon? That story is so universal:

Who cannot relate to that?
i used to watch this all the time!!! they played this at the Disney resorts!... nothing beats the classics
Moral of the story: BUY A BELT!!!
Hehe love how he sails away with arms crossed on chest in pride :)
I remember watching this as a child, I loved it!
Someone get the poor kid a belt
I watched this 3 times in a row with my nephew today and im sure when he comes over again he will be asking for it,lol.Thanks for posting.
That mother bear resembles a bear in a Mickey Mouse cartoon.

the rabbits are soooo cute too!!
Man..Disney sure loved the pants drop gag didn't he?
In all honesty this was one of my favorites as a kid. Good to see it again.

love him giving the rabbit a bow, reflects the way humans think.

It's often more effective to ask people to forget then it is to ask the victims to forgive.
Classic cartoon. Soooo cute!
The beginning is from the poem "Little Hiawatha" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

in my city...many of the local youths run around with their pants falling down, trying to shoot each other. Disney was ahead of his time.

AAAAWWWWWW, Little Hiawatha fell victim to the Big Bunny Eyes!!! Cuteness can not kill fellow cuteness!!!
Oh how I love the scared bunny. I have a picture of him on my wall. Thank you for posting this!
I remember this!!!!! THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT!!!!!!!!! It brought back so many happy memories! ;-)

I remember when these came on /the/ Disney channel before I went to school. Good times. :)
Just got this as a book from the little golden books and had to look it up. So very cute. My three kids really liked it.
Heehee! His pants are to big for his wee rump. :P
..
I laughed when the cricket spit in his face. xD
...
The bunny!
...
The bear cub!
This video is too cute.
i cant be young again, but i can watch this!!
...and this was the very first version of brother bear^^

This was fun and beautifully made, but the constant pants-falling-off joke was just an overkill...
Arsaja Perhaps he was hunting for a belt : )

How to make someone vegetarian 101 *make them watch this clip 3:50 - 5:00 *
oh my God, these little characters are beautiful!!!! Please come back! :)

That rabbit is the cuuuutest!

Awesome cartoon
Cuteness from the beginning to the end.
I know. Old Cartoons are more realistic and cute.
just precious!! thanx for sharing this .
oh wow this brings back memories when i was lil. thanks!
I noticed the decline began in 1995 around the release of, ironically, "Pocahontas".
Thank you for download this cartoon I enjoy some much again. I see was a long time ago and I like some much. Thank you very much.
This was always my favorite silly symphony.
Hiawatha was always my favorite when I was a kid.

I remember this cartoon, i was 5yo!! :)

i'm native american and i love the stereo types
I remember this from when i was a little kid. Sweeet memories.
I had the same book (he was trying to catch a big fish with a rope). so nostalgic!
nice - one of the best.
The problem with your example is that it would be a highly accurate depiction.
this was my favorite cartoon growing up :]
Considering Snow White, how did Disney have the money?
Dis was also on Walt Disney Cartoon Classics: vol.13: Silly Symphonies - Facible Fables, which had same Great Mouse Detective trailer Alice in Wonderland had.
i'm sure i seen bambi and thumper in there too lol
The animals are SO cute!

I have to admit that this was extremely good, and excellent, even though I am 14. ^-^
If I learned anything out of this cartoon it was this...
...apparently Indians during the time didn't make very good pants for tiny blokes like him...
I mean, look at all the time his failpants fell?!
Little hiawatha isnt actually all that old to me theres new comics about him almost weekly where I live!

And people wonder where the idea of "Chibi" came from. It came from Disney!
Show the rabbit scene to a girl...priceless reaction!
Beautiful artistry!
haha this was on all the time when i was at Disney World like 2 years ago, on that channel that plays all old disney cartoons

old cartoons are so good compaird to these days
They should really make cartoons like this nowadays, the hand drawn effect is beautiful.
I really enjoyed this. Thanks x
i love the little animals
this guy makes a good point. most effective genocide in history, period. people forget, or are made to forget.
