Melody Time
This is I think the last of Disney's anthology films from the 1940s. It's hard to say which of these is the best and which of these is the worst, personally I enjoyed this one. I think, unlike others in the Anthology series, the art was produced for this specific project. The animation is excellent, especially in the little toot section and the Boogie section. Now the music is a matter of personal taste, but it's all from the 1940s, so if you don't like that era of music, you probably won't like the music in this film. Personally, I really enjoy the music of The Andrews Sisters, so I really liked that part of the film. Now, the classic question would children enjoy this? I think it doesn't really have a coherent theme, so if you had them watch the sections rather than the whole thing, it would be probably a better experience for them. One interesting note is that often we have this idea that movies or books are of their time, so we can excuse racism or something other horrible thing in the movie, but this is the first Disney film where it mentions Christianity. This shows that the company was acutely aware that people who are of different faiths would be watching their work. But I don't mind the fact that Christianity is mentioned in this film, as it is dealing with the work of a Christian minister
