I remember Ward Kimball stating in an interview how ridiculous he thought some the Disney film titles of the 1940s sounded to him. "Fun and Fancy Free, Make Mine Music, Melody Time...what kind of titles are those?"
Be that as it may, the short films within these features contain some beautiful character as well as effects animation. And there is also a sense of experimenting with a variety of unique styles.
It ain't Pinocchio, but these movies are still very enjoyable to watch and to study.

I couldn't agree more with your statement about the package features, Andreas .They are fun to watch! Lots of people don't think they're as good. I can understand, the war had an impact on the studio. But that doesn't mean films like Melody Time don't have the ability to make us smile. Also, I wanna ask, do you happen to know who were the animators on the Johnny Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet segment in Make Mine Music?
ReplyDeleteI heard it on (The Making of Cinderella) I think when Walt Disney was working on other projects after the Second World War 2 before working on Cinderella in 1946 but I think he was working on other projects "Make Mine Music, Melody Time or Fun and Fancy Free, it's kind of funny to hear the music style back then in the 1940s to 60s to hear watch and to study, can you please post some documents on YouTube, Andreas in will like to discover the magic of Disney. ☺
