Leia S Apr 27, 2019 Make Mine Music is a series of short films made by Disney in its fun old style. There is nothing wrong with any of them but there isn't much good I can really say either. They are small well animated stories. I would acquaint them with episodes of Tom and Jerry, they are well made and hold a fine story but there really isn't anything to call home about. I wish I could say more but it really is just old Disney animation showing off its animation prowess. See more

Poe W Apr 3, 2019 Make Mine Music struggles against the legacy of it's predecessor Fantasia and can't seem to meet the same magic that that classic did. However, there is a lot of good animation and storytelling here despite its lack of political correctness. Especially when the film goes abstract it really clicks and the music just resonates with the stories. Where it fails is mostly within the Martins and the Coys, Casey at the Bat and Peter and the Wolf segments. I'd watch this again though; it was fun, artistic, and I felt entertained with its charm.

Abraham Feb 10, 2019 Somehow Make Mine Music reminded me of Hercules with a zany, comedic, and musical feel to it put with some well-done animation. While I'm not a fan of Hercules, I find Make Mine Music works as it's a collection of separate stories that have their own feel, humor, and charm to them. I adore the Clair de Lune sequence, mostly because of the fact that it was originally created for Fantasia. I wish they didn't put in their own music over it and instead kept the old music attached. Then again, I can understand why as it wouldn't match the tone of the rest of the film. Speaking of Fantasia, the best way to describe Make Mine Music is a comedic version of Fantasia, and it works. It never annoyed me to watch a Disney package film as I always liked to see different and creative teams of artists, writers, and musicians put onto different short projects. The cartoon shorts themselves ranged from OK to great. With a couple being OK, Casey at the Bat has some funny expressions on the characters and some humorously different ways of exaggerating the bodies of the characters. Along with a couple humorous moments in the short, everything else about it is standard. The story of the two hats has its own charm to it with some nice music. The very first one, the Martins and the Coys, while a bit predictable, did have me snickering several times and, strangely, even making me want to dance. All the Cats Join in is kind of like what I said about Casey at the Bat if it was entirely nothing but comedic movement in the characters, and that's perfectly fine with me as it also can be a bit creative at times. I love the animation on the wolf in Peter and the Wolf, along with some great narration by Sterling Holloway. The Without You sequence is also artistically pleasing and also very simple. I do think Andy Russell sings beautifully, and he does sound a bit like Dennis Day. The After You've Gone sequence is practically what I said about Without You if it had more energy to it. The final sequence with Willie the Whale has such talented voicework to it along with some great opera singing and even some drama. My personal favorite out of all of them is the one called Two Silhouettes. There's a way the Disney editors and animators put together something I've never seen before that fascinates me in its technique. While rotoscoping the two real-life ballet dancers, along with some wonderful singing by dear Dinah Shore, there's an effect where both the animated characters and the humans are all like shadows. It almost creates an illusion that they're all either cartoons or real life. Make Mine Music really pleased me, and it's disappointing not a lot of people liked it as it has a lot of great things to offer. At least, to me it does. 3.5/4 See more

Finn S May 18, 2018 L'unione di dieci cortometraggi di varia natura non crea un film coinvolgente sotto l'aspetto emotivo, soprattutto se alcuni di questi sembrano più esperimenti mal riusciti che veri e propri corti d'animazione. Il risultato è pesante e vuoto, ben lontano dall'esperienza proposta qualche anno prima da Fantasia. See more

Leia S Oct 20, 2017 “The Whale that wanted to sing at the Met” is a gem.

Theodore G Nov 3, 2011 Make Mine Music is a highly uneven package film. It has way too many segments at ten and most are either forgettable or too short. Peter and the Wolf is obviously one of the highlights, Johnnie Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet is sweetly romantic and The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met is an absolute classic and such a wonderful story. But the rest are all uninspired and overly contemporary stories which lack memorable characters and animation. See more
