Movie: Make Mine Music
1 of 1 found this helpful This is a Disney revue from the late 40's, when animation had a kind of hand-held charm: Nine episodes -all musical- featuring voices of the era such as Dinah Shore, Nelson Eddy and Jerry Colonna -who recites Casey at the Bat. Nelson Eddy gives us the charming tale of the Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met, and Benny Goodman is on hand in a jumping dance called All the Cats Join In.
Like any revue, it's spotty, but if you're a fan of early Disney (Dumbo, Bambi, Pinocchio, etc.)
there's a lot to like here. The songs are by the likes of Allie Wrubel, who wrote Zip-Ah-Dee-Doo-Dah. An even better double-feature (two 40 min episodes) is Ichabod and Mister Toad; look for it.
