VHS Movie Reviews of Make Mine Music
Movie Review: Make Mine Music
Summary: 5 Stars
This wonderful Disney Classic is a must for any true collector. It is made in the style of Fantasia and my kids all love it.Movie Review: Peter and the wolf was done wrong
Summary: 2 Stars
Ok there are some points I love. This was my first introduction to the poem Casey at the bat for example. the whale who wanted to sing at the met always made me smile.
However I must say while I loved the vivid coloration of it and seeing Peter and the wolf Disney sensored there too and took an enormous liberty. In the orriginal story the duck was swallowed whole. Leaving it a sort of bittersweet victory and proving that this wolf was a dangerous animal. I guess it was to keep from tramatizing kids but Sasha the duck comes out of a hollow tree at the end. Making it both lighthearted and goofy. Plus the duck and the bird were not friends and while Grandfather deep down was probubly proud of Peter he had his more adult and practical view in the original writiting of it of what if Peter had not been sucessful what then? I really wish they'd left Peter and the wolf as originally written. Kids won't understand that version if they're fed the sugar coated one.
Movie Review: beautifull

Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fun, interesting, and creative Gold Disney DVD as the music, and short musical stories are superior to anything Disney is creating today...I am certain you will enjoy this captivating program as much as our family does...worth every penny! Go For It!!Movie Review: Don't be fooled
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall my son and I enjoyed this DVD. The quality is even better than the original release and they just don't use music in cartoons like they used to. However, don't be fooled this Peter and the Wolf version has been severely truncated from Prokofiev's original. I conduct orchestras for a living and assure you that the music, narration, and storyline have been substantially altered and shortened from Prokofiev's original. While Disney's productions have helped to expose a wider audience to classical music, I feel it is worth mentioning that they unapologetically alter the composer's creation and then present it as the original. Fantasia has similar artistic compromises throughout. I suggest the more recent release of Peter and the Wolf by Sting and conducted by Cladio Abbado if you are in search of a more accurate representation of Prokofiev's work.
Summary of Make Mine Music
Share in Walt Disney's extraordinary vision of pairing imaginative stories with spectacular music in Disney's 8th full-length animated classic, available for the first time ever. In the tradition of FANTASIA, MAKE MINE MUSIC is a glorious collection of musically charged animated shorts featuring such fun-filled favorites as "Peter And The Wolf," narrated by the beloved voice behind Winnie The Pooh. In addition, you'll enjoy such classic cartoon hits as "Casey At The Bat," "The Whale Who Wanted To Sing At The Met," and "Johnnie Fedora And Alice Bluebonnet," the whimsical adventure of two hats who fall in love in a department store window. Every member of your family will have a favorite in this musical medley of fun and fantasy from Disney!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
