Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

PeachHamBeach MAKE MINE MUSIC is too jumbled. It's supposed to be a "mix" of the language of emotions, which is music, but it's an awkward attempt as we are treated to either boring ballet ballads or obnoxious jazz be-bop segments. I enjoyed "Blue Bayou" for its visual splendor, "Johnny Fedora & Alice Bluebonnet" for its cuteness, "Peter & The Wolf" because Sterling Holloway is the best! and "Casey At The Bat" because I also love Jerry Colonna's (sp?) voice, though "Casey" feels sad and incomplete when it ends with the ball player striking out and nothing more is said. The other segments, including the annoying singing whale, could have been axed in favor of part 2 of "Casey", which I've seen on TV years ago, about Casey having 9 daughters and coaching them as a baseball team. Walt Disney was trying to help audiences find an appreciation of different genres of music, but this mostly is a disappointment.

Seth Nelson Get your dancing shoes on and have fun with this 1946 Disney cartoon classic, "Make Mine Music."This movie contains ten animated segments for the original version, and nine for the DVD version (due to the first short being a little bit too...). Like all of the other Disney classics, these shorts are exceptionally outstanding!One short in particular: The Whale Who Wanted To Sing At The Met. I'm mentioning this short the most because this was seen on the old Disney Channel (before it got all "Raven-ed" up LOL) nine years ago from writing. Sure, it was long, but it made for a very interesting short. It may also not have Mickey and Minnie, but it's still worth watching!"Make Mine Music" is a good movie to watch if you are a little bit down and need to be all pepped up! Enjoy!10/10

magister29 I'm a UK viewer and I saw "Make Mine Music" in the late 1940's,when it was newly released . I had seen and been excited by "Fantasia" and the "MMM" numbers, as a late teenager, I found hugely enjoyable. I'm sad to learn that the "Martins and the Coys" number has been deleted - it was fun and the hill billy feuding' was something we'd found amusing and harmless. I disagree with some of the comments on the individual numbers, particularly "Without You" by Andy Russell and "Two Silhouettes" by Dinah Shore, both of which made an impression on me and I've been trying to obtain a record of the former for years, without success. I have fond memories of "Johnny Fedora and Alic Blue Bonnet" (absurdly sentimental though it was)and can sing the first lines to this day. The Benny Goodman numbers are superb - musically and animation-wise - but then I'm a B.G.fan and ever will be. "Peter and the Wolf" persuaded me to listen to the real classical version and, subsequently, to buy the sound track record. Perhaps I do agree with the viewer who found Jerry Colonna's rendering of "Casey" a lemon but then you either take Jerry's versions of things or you don't. Nelson ("The singing capon")Eddy's version of "Willie" was a delight, though in later years it may have made one more conscious of the bloody aspects of whale hunting. Anyway, it was good to hear Nelson without "Heart of Steel" Jeanette MacDonald. You see, without seeing the film again the memories come tumbling out and I've given it a 9 for more reasons than one. Please will somebody tell me where I can obtain a VHS copy ? David Miles

jack-260 The DVD version I've just seen included 9 of the original 10 segments. The loss of The Martins & the Coys is lamentable. This DVD did not include two titles listed as inclusions by IMDb...Two for the Record and The Misadventures of Chip & Dale...neither of which I've seen. I'd rated Martins/Coys (seen elsewhere) at 8 and usually rate a C&D 'toon at 8, so not much change there. This DVD did include 3 other titles, but not as part of the featured program...I rate Music Land, The Band Concert, and Farmyard Symphony at 9 each. Other 9s from the original line-up are All the Cats Join In (great art-work _and_ great memories), Casey at the Bat (comedian Colona was a fine choice as the narrator), Johnny Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet (good art & super love story), and Peter and The Wolf (excellent match between the action & the music). After You've Gone is an 8...Jazz isn't my thing, but the visuals are nothing short of fantastic. Blue Bayou and Without You are nicely drawn but monochromatic and the music is unmemorable...both are rated 7. So are Two Silhouettes (I expected 2S-on-the-Shade & was disappointed) (& I _know_ I've seen -Shade done by Disney somewhere, somewhen) and Willie's story (I just don't like the way the tale turned out). So, based on the 4 9s, an 8, & 4 7s, Make Mine Music is an 8.
