Editorial Review:

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".

Amazon.com:
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

the dvd reminded me of the first time i saw the movie at the loew's ave. b on the lower east side as a child. it brought a tear to my eye.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Melody Time
An excellent print of a very good movie. It is as I remembered seeing it on the big screen when it was first released.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Timeless and Classic Disney
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 ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Watered down Fantasia
Make Mine Music is one hour and seven minutes and was released on August 15, 1946. Due to the majority of the Disney staff being drafted into World War 2, there were a bunch of unfinished stories in the Disney studio. Some were too long to be a short and others were too short to be a movie; so ten music segments were put together in the original movie. In the United States DVD, The Martins and the Coys, was cut in the United States DVDs. The reason behind this was the Disney group deemed it to graphic ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't buy censored DVDs
I am getting tired of this and positively will NOT buy Edited/Censored DVDs! Not even a little tiny little edit is ok. Another great DVD set ruined by the suits.
