  Melody Time (2005, DVD)
Review created: 02/06/08

I was really disappointed with the Pecos Bill feature. The part where Pecos Bill rode the Tornado was cut out, it was very obvious that it was taken out, and I wanted this complete as it was originally made. It really angered me to find that it had been cut.

One of our all time Disney favorites. Enjoyable for the whole family, adults and kids. Very nostalgic and I got this as an extra copy to share with others.

  Timeless Classic Disney Animation
Review created: 06/07/06

This Walt Disney classic goes back to my fondest memories from childhood. As a child, I had a set of 78 rpm Disney records telling the story of "Johnny Appleseed" and played them until worn. It was wonderful to see the original classic animation on this DVD that went with it. The character voices were provided by Dennis Day.
There are seven other animated musical shorts on this DVD. "Bumble Boogie" is a very upbeat jazz version of "The flight of the bumble bee". There is the story of "Pecos Bill", and many other delightful stories. The musical talents in these classics include Roy Rogers, and the Andrew Sisters.
This is family entertainment at it's best in my opinion. Kids will love the animation, Adults like me enjoy the memories of a bygone era when music, animation, and classic stories were Disney's mainstay.

  Average Disney short features, vintage, classic, not the best
Review created: 01/15/08
by: busby777 -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
vintage, classic Disney short features

Cons:
old and sometimes boring

The best part of this tape, for me, was seeing Roy Rogers with the real, original Trigger. Roy used to say that he never taught that horse any tricks; the horse taught him. All of the short features in this collection are animated, at least in part. Watching the opening credits, I realized that my parents would recognize most of the names better than I do. Although I do remember hearing the Andrews sisters sing, Dennis Day is nothing more than a familiar name and I never heard of Frances Langford or Ethel Smith. The first short feature is the weakest, in my opinion. Frances Langford sings...

  Another muddled post-war Disney effort
Review created: 12/30/99
by: Andrew_Hicks -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
The "Little Toot" and "Trees" segments

Cons:
The other five segments

The parade of Disney re-releases continues with the 50th anniversary edition of Melody Time, one of the mediocre cartoon / live action anthologies from the 1940s. After 1997 s video release of Fun and Fancy Free, I assumed the Disney vault had been cleansed of its bad post-war compilations, but this embarrassing piece of fluff proved me wrong. Whereas Fun and Fancy Free only had two real segments, Melody Time has seven and only three short ones I d ever watch again. Most of the segments are in the Fantasia vein of letting the music and visuals tell the story rather than relying on dialogue.
