Review of Make Mine Music (1946) by Nat G — 17 Aug 2008

Sometimes referred to as "The Poor Man's Fantasia," but instead of classical music, the artists illustrated segments set to popular music of the time. It includes the story of Peter and the Wolf, a whale that sings Opera and there is a wonderful jazz piece. This is the first of a few films called the "package films" which where released after the war as a result of lots of unfinished stories, being put together in a musical form. These films were just to make money and keep the Disney studio open.

This film is not as good as Fantasia but it has it's highlight. The best song has to be "All the Cats Join In" which is an upbeat jazz number, which has a group of young adults getting together to have a party. Overall the film has it's moments but it not your normal run of the mill Disney classic, although it still is very enjoyable.
