Product Description:
Walt Disney's 8th full-length animated feature is a compilation of animated shorts based on popular music by the Andrews Sister, Benny Goodman, and Dinah Shore, among others. Episodes included: "Peter and the Wolf", "The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met", and "Casey at the Bat". A colorful bag of assorted animated highlights from Disney's golden age. The Gold Collection Edition also includes the classic Disney shorts "Farmyard Symphony" and "The Band Concert".

Sometimes referred to as "the Poor Man's Fantasia," Make Mine Music (1946) was the first of the "package features" Walt Disney released after World War II. Instead of Bach and Beethoven, the artists illustrated segments set to popular music by Benny Goodman, Dinah Shore, and the Andrews Sisters. Originally set to Debussy's "Claire de Lune," "Blue Bayou" remains an atmospheric evocation of the Everglades. "The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met" is a charming fantasy about a cetacean with an extraordinary voice. "Peter and the Wolf," based on the Prokofiev score, offers brightly colored designs, but the narration by Sterling Holloway seems superfluous. "All the Cats Join In" is an upbeat evocation of the Bobby Sox era, but "Casey at the Bat" and "Johnny Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet" feel self-conscious and unfunny.
"Two Silhouettes" combines rotoscoped images of Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo stars Tatiana Riabouchinska and David Lichine with kitsch cupids, sparkles, and hearts. "The Martins and the Coys," a spoof of a hillbilly feud, has been excised in a bow to modern taste. The supplemental material includes The Band Concert, the first color Mickey Mouse short and one of the character's finest performances, and Music Land, a quirky Silly Symphony about clashing musical styles. --Charles Solomon

We purchased this DVD in order to get the Peter and the Wolf segment, Prokofiev's (sp?) musical narrative. It still delights: our four year old grandson is fascinated each time.
My husband and I watched the other segments, which are truly of another era or eras. All in all, pleasurable viewing. The Peter and the Wolf portion alone made it a worthwhile purchase.

With the typical superior Disney animation, the studio here brings to life several popular 1940's songs plus Serge Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf," Ernest Thayer's classic baseball poem "Casey at the Bat," and the fantasy-ballad "Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet" (one of my favorite segments), together with an original sequence about Willie, "The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met." Young viewers of toady will probably need some explanation as to who the human singers (Nelson Eddy, the Andrews ... Read More

An excellent print of a very good movie. It is as I remembered seeing it on the big screen when it was first released.

My 6 year old daughter heard the music for Peter and the Wolf and wanted to know what it was about. I immediately recalled the Disney cartoon version and looked for it. It is one of several musical pieces on this video. Needless to say, when we first watched the disc we went straight for Peter and the Wolf. Afterwards, we watched the remaining and it just took me back to my childhood watching the Wonderful World of Disney. The music and artistry of the animation are just timeless. Although it is ...
