Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Vimacone Make Mine Music is one of the package features that Disney released in the 1940's to get by during the war and tough economic times. These films aren't too well known today by the General public, but many will recognize the short stories within as they were reissued separately in later years.Make Mine Music is a collection of ten stories of different music and moods and styles. It's like Fantasia but with then contemporary music. In fact 2 segments were actually leftovers from Fantasia. The Animation for Blue Bayou was originally set to Clair de Lune and Peter and the Wolf was planned for Fantasia. My favorite segments are All the Cats Join In, Two Silhouettes, and Peter And the Wolf. Two Silhouettes kinda has a similar mood to the song Colors of the Wind at times. After You've Gone is very impressive. Word of caution, the first segment, The Martins and the Coys has been cut from all VHS and DVD releases in North America.Make Mine Music is a lesser known gem from the Disney canon that will sure to joy any Disney enthusiast

utgard14 Animated anthology movie from Disney. They made several of these during and after World War II. It's a fun movie with cartoons of varying quality but none are bad. Many of these cartoons were released later as theatrical shorts. There are ten segments. The most popular of them is probably "Casey at the Bat," a recitation by Jerry Colonna of the famous poem. It's a funny, wacky baseball cartoon that was one of my favorites as a kid (seen on a compilation video). Other well-known parts include the Disney version of "Peter and the Wolf," "The Martins and the Coys," which is now considered politically incorrect by those who make such determinations, and "The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met," featuring Nelson Eddy. These are all fine cartoons, though the last one has a surprisingly downbeat ending. The 'worst' shorts are the ones that have no real story, just offer a few minutes of animation to some song, almost like a music video of sorts. "Blue Bayou," "Without You," and "Two Silhouettes," for example. They aren't bad shorts, just slight. They feel like time filler. My two favorite shorts in the whole movie are "All the Cats Join In" and "Johnnie Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet." 'Cats' is an energetic big band number with Benny Goodman music playing while a pencil draws the action as it happens. It's creative and cute with a surprisingly sexy part. You'll have to watch it to see what I mean. 'Fedora' is a sweet story about two hats (yes, hats) falling in love and becoming separated. This is narrated through song by the great Andrews Sisters. Overall, some nice little shorts that should please old-school Disney fans. Good animation and music. A very pleasant movie that will leave you with a smile on your face.

moonspinner55 Chocolate-box potpourri of Disney-animated shorts became Walt Disney's eighth animated theatrical feature, one that plays like a middling excuse to allow the studio's animators to blow off some creative steam. Divvied up into separate musical suites (utilizing pop, jazz, Big Band, and the Russian classical piece "Peter and the Wolf"), "Make Mine Music" is musically of its time, featuring the talents of Benny Goodman, Dinah Shore, Nelson Eddy, etc. In that regard, it dates far worse than "Fantasia", and comes to a virtual halt in the middle of an overstretched slapstick baseball satire, but there are incidental pleasures. The popular "Peter and the Wolf" segment, which was later serialized on Disney's TV program and found a large following, is the only segment that feels fully thought-out (and has involving animation), while "The Whale Who Wanted To Sing At The Met" is an interesting idea (with beautiful flourishes) in search of a narrative (the hero actually ends up in Heaven...complete with angel's wings!). Followed by "Melody Time", which featured more storytelling and less abstract whimsy. ** from ****

bmrhye The segments included in this anthology film are very good. I just think it's ridiculous that Disney would release a movie with the first chunk missing. The way it was done made it seem like they thought people wouldn't notice. I have to admit, I'm glad they released it even in part on DVD so we could enjoy the rest, but on the Walt Disney Treasures collection they have released several short subject cartoons on DVD with a disclaimer from Leonard Maltin beforehand. I think they could re-release 'Make Mine Music' in it's entirety with such a disclaimer because the segment is actually very entertaining. I remember seeing it as a kid and it left no impression whatsoever that I should grab a gun and start shooting. Maybe because I had smart parents that had a greater influence on me than what I saw on TV.
