Product Description
Product Description
Walt Disney's 8th full-length animated classic is a delightful collection of nine musical shorts including ''Casey At The Bat, '' ''Peter And The Wolf, '' and ''The Whale Who Wanted To Sing At The Met.'' Also includes the Mickey Mouse cartoon, "The Band Concert" and "The Farmyard Symphony."

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

I have been a musician my entire life and was fortunate to have been a professional music librarian at a major State university for my entire professional career. I was responsible for purchasing all of the music materials for the collection - books, scores, recordings (audio & video), etc. As you can imagine I became familiar with many recordings of P&W. And I have to say this 1946 recording narrated by Stirling Holloway remains my favorite. Elsewhere someone said the narration was superfluous. Well, the piece is published for narrator and orchestra as a childrens introduction to the orchestra - so superfluous it is not.
As for the rest of this anthology of Disney musical cartoons they are fun and entertaining. Nice to hear Benny Goodman, Dinah Shore, and others. Disney, as well as Warner Brothers and Looney Tunes, brought so much classical music to the movie theater going public. Another reviewer mentioned that some of the segments might not be appropriate for the classroom. Well, that might well be true. Because I think many people forget that cartoons and newsreels were shown before the main movie of the day attended by adults as well as children. I find most early cartoons are more suited to adult audiences as, yes, all three companies put out some rather adult subtext to these cartoon entertainments that children enjoyed on Saturday morning TV in days past.
I'm just very glad to have one of my favorite performances of "Peter and the Wolf" available again. And who can't enjoy a opera singing whale.
At the outset, the viewer is warned that this film was modified and edited, to what extreme they didn't state. It's a mini-Fantasia (the Blue Bayou opening was intended to be included in Fantasia using Clair de Lune instead of the prosaic Blue Bayou sung by the Ken Darby Singers). The art is sublime, the music.........eh. And that is a clear indication of what the rest of the offerings represent: hit or miss. They removed The Martins and the Coys section in anticipation of supposed outrage (?), as it entertained gunplay not suitable for children. They also removed cartoon breasts on a girl exiting a shower in All the Cats Join In segment. And yet, they didn't have a problem including the death of poor Willy the Whale. Censorship by any name................ I'd rather be the one deciding what I can watch or read, as opposed to some yahoo in a backroom with a handy pair of scissors deciding that for me.
To make up for this they did include three bonus cartoons: The Band Concert (featuring Mickey with a nasty temper and poor Donald with a dwindling supply of flutes). Easily one of my favorite Donald cartoons. There's also Music Land and Farmyard Symphony (featuring a poor little pig trying to get something to eat).
Not as innovative as Fantasia but it still has a few good moments that make up for the clinkers (Johnnie Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet, Two Silhouettes).
Note: Teachers may want to screen segments before classroom viewing, as some may not be suitable for all audiences. Some segments exhibit bar fights, guns, etc. which may be frowned upon in a conservative setting.
