Make Mine Music


 Make mine music is a hodgepodge of animated vignettes created because Disney Studios at the time wanted to keep its film division alive, but they did not have enough animators due to the fact that during the second World War most of them were drafted and those who weren't drafted were creating propaganda films for the United States government. So different projects were mashed together, and this was released in 1946 as one of the last of these mash-ups. Some of the segments have a great deal of charm, for example Casey at the bat and Peter and the Wolf, which I am sure everyone has watched even though they haven't watched this film. Other parts are problematic - for example, there's a whale that sings minstrel songs and one segment seems to encourage domestic violence. So I would say it's the weakest of the 3 Disney compilation films from this era. If you want to watch a good example of this kind of film, check out Saludos Amigos.
