Make Mine Music

Will forever live in Fantasia's shadow - it's less ambitious and comes off more as a collection of traditional cartoons - but it's definitely still an engaging watch. "The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met" and "Peter and the Wolf" are standout segments.

Anthology films are usually a mixed bag, and Disney's wartime flick is no different. The shorts range from good-- 'The Whale Who Wanted to Sing', 'All the Cats Join In', 'After You're Gone' to name my favorites-- to utterly boring-- 'Without You', 'Two Silhouettes.' The animation is solid and old-school, but the music and shorts are a product of their time-- I think the biggest flaw here is a limited appeal to modern audiences.

Walt Disney's Make Mine Music (1946) basically consists of a bunch of musical shorts. Probable my least favorite classic Disney feature release. Does have some highlights, Peter and the Wolf and Willie the Operatic Whale segments especially.

It's a collection of pretty standard '40s Disney shorts. "The Whale Who Wanted To Sing At The Met" is a standout.

Uneven music shorts anthology from Disney which ranges from terribly boring (everything else), extremely poor (Casey at the Bat), mediocre (Benny Goodman's All the Cats Join In) to passable; Peter and the Wolf, Johnnie Fedora & Alice Bluebonnet and The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met, Of those the first suffers from an unnecessary narrator and the later two from dragging their enjoyable premises on too long.

Just a collection of short vignettes set to music, varying from the kind of slow dreamy pop crooning that was popular in the 40s to some more upbeat, jazzy numbers. The quality of the shorts vary accordingly; the best are the more upbeat ones (highlights include a whale that dreams of becoming an opera singer and the adorable love story of two hats) and the others tend to drag.

Half of it was like a lame version of Fantasia and the other half were hit or miss shorts. Some stuff was humorous, but I was bored at points.

The segment with the hats was pretty damn cute.

The most well-known bit is probably Peter and the Wolf, but the Blue Bayou/Clair De Lune sequence is just gorgeous.
