Review of Make Mine Music (1946) by Ian S — 11 Jan 2013

Movie Matt here with Make Mine Music. A little backstory: After Fantasia flopped at the box office, Disney had to return to a single narrative format for a little while with Dumbo & Bambi. With those two flops, Disney needed to find a way to get some of his animated output onto the screens.

Make Mine Music was one of those attempts to do so, and I can say, it's a good attempt. The shorts that make up the film vary in length: some are told through song, others tell a full narrative. The music isn't classical but music that was popular in the 40s although one short is more about baseball than music.

If you're looking for a full narrative flick or something not about music, this movie isn't probably up your alley but if you're a just a sucker for Disney in general (this often gets overlooked), check this movie out, it's a good one.
