“King Midas cares for nothing but gold. One day, heu0026#39;s visited by the diminutive magical Goldie. Despite Goldieu0026#39;s warning, Midas demands and is granted the golden touch. At first, he is overjoyed but eventually, he discovers that it is really a curse. He turns everything including his food into gold. In the end, he pleads to Goldie to have a hamburger sandwich in exchange for his entire kingdom.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a Walt Disney Silly Symphony cartoon. There are none of the iconic Disney characters. Itu0026#39;s strictly the classic tale told in a silly cartoon form. The tale still works and it works well in this short bite size. Goldie is a little creepy but Midas is a fun looking design. Itu0026#39;s all very good.”
