Rating:  - true love lasts a lifetime
well, i'm being slightly deceptive. i have not seen the whole video, sad to say, but i did grow up watching one segment in particular: johnnie fedora and alice bluebonnet. be aware that if watching this segment as an adult, you may miss a lot of the charm it truly possesses. i have sadly not seen it in many years, but a powerful emotion of love, happiness, and longing to own it flood over me when i think about it. definitely a must-see for children everywhere. i am perfectly willing to buy the entire video just for the sake of that one segment.
Rating:  - Meh. But watch it for the swing
For the stuff that really stands out in the feature, there is some serious downtime. Just the first song is a real drag that almost demands to be fastforwarded. I knew ahead of time that I wasn't going to like some of the sequences in this film. However, I love the Benny Goodman piece "Now that You've Gone." Its so upbeat and surreal, its really great stuff. I also thought "All the Cats Join In" is worth watching immediately (its the second song).
Essentially, i bought it for what I felt I needed to have. I wouldn't pay $24 for this movie though. try and find it cheaper somewhere else.
Rating: - So much fun
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.
Rating:  - Fantasia with a little bit of a whimsical touch.
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.
Rating:  - Modern Disney killed this masterpiece
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!
