Summary: Wonderful musical shorts entertain my 3-year-old
Review: I read the negative reviews and was very surprised as I thought this dvd was very charming and low-key compared to more recent and popular dvds for children. I like the music, and my 3-year-old watches the Peter and the Wolf segment over and over again. I highly recommend this dvd for the music, the animation, and especially for young children.

Summary: Disney does it again!
Review: I would just like to say that this is a great movie. However it should have been released in its original format...meaning the first segment should not have been cut. I don't understand the Disney company. They cut the first part of this movie ( the Hatfields and the Mccoys) but they still insist that the film is made up of ten shorts.HELLO? The film originally consisted of ten shorts; Now , however, it consists of nine.Why did Disney cut this first part for the home video release? Who knows? Too Violent? Then why is The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met included? He got shot and went to heaven. (In the Martins and the Mccoys the entire family gets shot and goes to heaven where the story continues).The full length Make Mine Music has been aired on the Disney channel intact. Why wasn't it released that way on DVD. Disney could have utilized the parental control lock feature.Anyway, I don't think that would have been necessary because the first scene isn't violent at all. What is next? When Bambi comes to DVD will the Disney company cut the scene of Bambi's mother getting shot?

Summary: Fantasia with a little bit of a whimsical touch.
Review: In Make Mine Music you come across some of Disney's wackiest shorts. The highlights include, All the Cats Join In, Casey at the Bat, and the Blue Bayou. The film is not Fantasia but it is very Disneyesque and is a joyful ride that kids can enjoy. If you love classical music this will entertain you some but I reccomend Fantasia over this. Good but not as good as Fantasia.

Summary: make mine music
Review: It was very dissapointing purchasing this DVD. The listed time is 75 minutes, but the film is cut down to only 67 minutes. The first segment called THE MARTINS AND THE COYS, a story about a hillbilly feaud, has been edited from the film. The transfer is absolutley beautiful, but if you want to collect this Disney classic, buyer beware, you are not getting the actual film, but an edited video version.

Summary: Modern Disney killed this masterpiece
Review: Like so many others, I bought this movie which had no notes stating it had been edited and censored.

Disney is so confused in their explanations. I, too, was told The Martins and the Coys were cut due to the guns. In which case I pointed out the guns in Peter Pan, and Beauty and the Beast. She had no explanation for me.

I also commented on the Pecos Bill clip in Melody Time. Disney had the nerve to completely remove the cigarette from every scene including a verse of the music that mentions a cigarette. Again I pointed out that in the same movie, Joe Carioca smokes a cigar, but I was told it was okay because he's an animal. So I pointed out Captain Hook. Again, no explanation.

What bothers me the most is that Disney has treated us as idiots and punished us. If they are so concerned, they can add a disclaimer. Porn is legal, too. It doesn't mean I buy it or watch it but it is my choice. How can pornography be allowed to be released (not by Disney) or Miramax's R rated movies, but fictional cartoon caricatures with guns are not allowed to be.

SHAME ON DISNEY!

Summary: Disney's 8th Animated Masterpiece!
Review: Make Mine Music is the first of what the Disney Company calls the "package features" which put a bunch of different shorts together, in this musical title, you'll be taken into a beautiful, musical wonderland. The film includes 9 differnt features, although they were originally 10 in the original package, one of the features has been removed. Most of this features are fun to watch but others, are just better to listen to than actually watch. My favorite musical cartoons in Make Mine Music are "Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet" which tells the romantic story of two hats meeting at the department store, and "The Whale who wanted to sing at the Met", the tragic tale of an operatic whale who wanted to make his dream of singing opera come true. Let's hope that Disney decides to release a better edition of this title, without the "editing for content".

The DVD could have definately been better, to start it has been edited and it does not bring much in bonus features, just three musical cartoons.

Summary: Make Mine Music Gold Collection DVD
Review: Make Mine Music, is far from being one of Disney's greatest films. However, the feature provides a few great musical sequences. Starting right away with "Blue Bayou", a calm & relaxing number, matched with dreamy animation that is dominated by different hues of blues. The next good sequence is "All The Cats Join In". I enjoyed this piece, because of the very simple animation that still came across very well and the very energetic music. And finally, a childhood favorite "Peter and the Wolf", is still very enjoyable to watch.

The other numbers are OK to watch, they just are not as good as these. The DVD also includes a few animated shorts, including "The Band Concert", which I believe is considered one of the best Mickey Mouse cartoons.

I wouldn't reccommend it for kids, becuase there is no story to follow and the back to back music numbers will probably be boring for them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful video for children and adults, alike.
Review: My daughter bought this video for our 3-year-old granddaughter, who has gotten hours of enjoyment from it. However, I find that all of the adults in our family also enjoy watching it with her, which is not always the case with children's videos. The music and animation are absolutely fabulous. Good, clean entertainment for the whole family. 5 stars!!
