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

 So much fun July 3, 2004
Kathleen Kenney (Bay Point,CA USA)
I just got this on DVD today.I love all the cartoons but some of them don't tell an actuall story.The ones that did were Blue Bayou,Peter and the Wolf,Casey at the Bat,The whale Who Wanted to sing at the Met and Johnie Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet.I bought this disk because Blue Bayou was originally supposed to be part of Fantasia,Peter and the Wolf was narrated by Winnie-the-Pooh,The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met had a very cute whale and it has The Band Concert (Mickey's first color cartoon) as a bonus episode.Like every Disney Gold collection,it doesn't have that much features.In fact,it only had 1.So take it or leave it.How come the All the Cats Join In segment didn't have any cats?Recomended.
 Fantasia with a little bit of a whimsical touch. May 25, 2004
Ryne Williams (Cleveland, TN USA)
In Make Mine Music you come across some of Disney's wackiest shorts. The highlights include, All the Cats Join In, Casey at the Bat, and the Blue Bayou. The film is not Fantasia but it is very Disneyesque and is a joyful ride that kids can enjoy. If you love classical music this will entertain you some but I reccomend Fantasia over this. Good but not as good as Fantasia.
 Modern Disney killed this masterpiece April 28, 2004
Like so many others, I bought this movie which had no notes stating it had been edited and censored. Disney is so confused in their explanations. I, too, was told The Martins and the Coys were cut due to the guns. In which case I pointed out the guns in Peter Pan, and Beauty and the Beast. She had no explanation for me. I also commented on the Pecos Bill clip in Melody Time. Disney had the nerve to completely remove the cigarette from every scene including a verse of the music that mentions a cigarette. Again I pointed out that in the same movie, Joe Carioca smokes a cigar, but I was told it was okay because he's an animal. So I pointed out Captain Hook. Again, no explanation. What bothers me the most is that Disney has treated us as idiots and punished us. If they are so concerned, they can add a disclaimer. Porn is legal, too. It doesn't mean I buy it or watch it but it is my choice. How can pornography be allowed to be released (not by Disney) or Miramax's R rated movies, but fictional cartoon caricatures with guns are not allowed to be. SHAME ON DISNEY!
Disney's 8th Animated Masterpiece! March 6, 2004
FredeRicko (Oregon)
Make Mine Music is the first of what the Disney Company calls the "package features" which put a bunch of different shorts together, in this musical title, you'll be taken into a beautiful, musical wonderland. The film includes 9 differnt features, although they were originally 10 in the original package, one of the features has been removed. Most of this features are fun to watch but others, are just better to listen to than actually watch. My favorite musical cartoons in Make Mine Music are "Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet" which tells the romantic story of two hats meeting at the department store, and "The Whale who wanted to sing at the Met", the tragic tale of an operatic whale who wanted to make his dream of singing opera come true. Let's hope that Disney decides to release a better edition of this title, without the "editing for content". The DVD could have definately been better, to start it has been edited and it does not bring much in bonus features, just three musical cartoons.
Another Shot At "Fantasia" January 23, 2004
Disney Reviewer (Disneyland)
Walt's original dream for "Fantasia" was to keep adding new segments to it, and removing older ones. "Fantasia" was a failure, but other packaged features before this film had been a hit("Saludos Amigos" and "The Three Caballeros"). The best part about this film is that it contains a deleted scene from "Fantasia" set to new music, "Blue Bayou." If you are a "Fantasia" fan, I recomend this film to you. I wish Disney would have not edited it, but I don't understand why they would go through the trouble to delete things from it, but they wouldn't fix the picture and sound.
