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

- Wonderful!
I waited longer than 19 years to watch the Bumble Boogie cartoon.And I was rewarded to the full.Not only is the music incredibly agreeable but the surreal scenes starred by the bumblebee are magic.This DVD is highly worth having and one is sure to love it for good.It is impossible to play the DVD just once: we keep indefatigably glued to the screen for hours and hours again.To summarize: delightful!

- Melody Time is the Greatest
I was delighted to rediscover Melody Time. It was produced in 1948 and is the old, wonderful Disney (not Felix the Cat type!) but like Snow White or the original Cinderella. The images are adorable. It's amazing how Disney has changed over the years. So subtle, it wasn't noticeable until I got this. The stories of Johnny Appleseed and Pecos Bill are especially delightful. My children remember them from their childhood. The first story (there are seven)is priceless. "Once Upon a Wintertime" has two ... Read More
