Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
This is another collection of Disney shorts set to music, but this time the formula works. That's predicated on the inherent strength of the individual pieces and almost all of them come through. Surprisingly, two American folk heroes, Johnny Appleseed and Pecos Bill, are the stars of this show, with rousty little tunes, humor, and compelling linear story lines (a rarity in most of these shorts). Even the shorts that are weak in one area, thematically or musically, make up for it in another. There's very little of the Disney animators attempting to be 1940s modern, thank goodness, and there's a sterling quality in the depth of the art work. A definite plus to an animation (or Disney) collection. --Keith Simanton

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Disney's nearly forgotten classic, MELODY TIME
MELODY TIME (1948) is one of the finest cartoons you'll ever see-- truly a timeless work of the highest art. Hosted by Buddy Clark, the feature is divided into seven distinct segments.
They are:

UPON UPON A WINTERTIME - An idyllic ice skating expedition almost ends in tragedy. Title song by Frances Langford.

BUMBLE BOOGIE - Freddy Martin's orchestra with Jack Fina on keys play a solid rendition of "Flight of the Bumblebee" against a most surrealistic animation. This same arrangement was later a 1961 pop hit for B. Bumble & the Stingers.

THE LEGEND OF JOHNNY APPLESEED - A small masterpiece for Dennis Day, who is Johnny, the narrator and all other voices. At one point, Day sings a duet with himself, as an old and young man. Many have forgotten how talented this Irish tenor really was.

LITTLE TOOT - A very cute animation of Hardie Gramatky's tugboat fable ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Melody Time
It is a great video for going down memory lane,and also a great educational video of great music and artistry of great cartoons. Real creativity, education, and entertainment all wrapped up in one package.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Why, Disney, WHY???
I was SO looking forward to this. I was born in the late 50's and grew up watching Johnny Appleseed and Pecos Bill on The Wonderful World of Disney. The opportunity to introduce my son to a cowboy who rode the cyclone was just too good to be true. Turns out, it really WAS too good to be true.

Why has Disney decided to hack up all their old stuff? Why can't they leave the old films as they were created? Everyone KNOWS the times were different. What's next? Will the ever-present pipe be digitally removed from all the Popeye the Sailor cartoons? Will Tom and Jerry be edited to hit each other with foam bats instead of pots, pans, irons and the occasional safe? I know those aren't Disney products, but what if the whole industry starts following their lead?

Come on, Disney!! Your body of work is incredible! I would even consider it the common man's art. Whether it's cartoons or live ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pecos Bill
It was great fun seeing and hearing Pecos Bill again. About 55 years ago I had a "book" with pictures to follow the story of Pecos Bill while listening to 45 records. I had never seen the short movie. I don't remember his cigarette until reading other reviews. The other shorts were fun too.
