Summary: Meh. But watch it for the swing
Review: For the stuff that really stands out in the feature, there is some serious downtime. Just the first song is a real drag that almost demands to be fastforwarded. I knew ahead of time that I wasn't going to like some of the sequences in this film. However, I love the Benny Goodman piece "Now that You've Gone." Its so upbeat and surreal, its really great stuff. I also thought "All the Cats Join In" is worth watching immediately (its the second song).
Essentially, i bought it for what I felt I needed to have. I wouldn't pay $24 for this movie though. try and find it cheaper somewhere else.

Summary: Great early Disney with disappointing edits
Review: I am both happy and disappointed with "Make Mine Music." Happy, because it contains some fantastic theatrical-quality short cartoons in DVD quality. "Peter and the Wolf" has always been a favorite of mine since the days of "Wonderful World of Disney." The funny and sad tale of "The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met" is still great (Love that version of Mephisto). "Casey at the Bat" is a familiar classic. My personal favorite for this release is "All the Cats Join In." It has great animation and a swinging tune.The disappointment comes from Disney's unfortunate editing. They are very busy painting fig leaves, and ultimately it is the fans who suffer. One piece originally included in "Make Mine Music," "Martins & Coys," has been removed entirely due to the comic gunplay which they feared could be confused with reality by children. Significant edits have been made to the actual animation cells of "All the Cats Join In" to make the girls less...buxom. I hope that an unedited version of "Make Mine Music" is released some day. Until then, it is nice to have some of these great cartoons on DVD.

Summary: GREAT MOVIE IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM!
Review: I guess i,m mad!!! I bought this DVD with the understanding it was to be in its un-edited form. How wrong and dissapointed I was!!! I remember this movie from my 1940,s childhood on the big screen and boy! I can remember the complete movie as a real treat to my young eyes. Now, its been disgraced and mulitlated. To Bad that Disney has to play Big Brother. There are Adults out there that want to view the movie as it originally was made. I hope enough folk write reviews to have an un-edited version avaiable in the near future. Perhaps the masses will win. After all, it seems there is quite a lot of R rated movies for kids to get hold of; and i can,t see why a harmless hillbilly duel in comic facade would harm young minds of this day and age; conditioned as they are to the violence that explodes all around us.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I have been awaiting this film's release on video, as it is one of the few early Disney releases I've never seen. Admittedly, "Music" is a mixed bag with some very good features and some pretty lame ones. It was nice that they included "Band Concert" on the tape too. However, my biggest disappointment was the censoring of "The Martins and the Coys" sequence! Why take that out? In reading other viewers' comments, I see that this wasn't the only aspect of the film revised. I can accept that this was one of Disney's compilation films and I wasn't expecting a "Snow White". If Disney was going to release the film on video, they should have released the entire thing in its original uncut form!

Summary: So much fun
Review: I just got this on DVD today.I love all the cartoons but some of them don't tell an actuall story.The ones that did were Blue Bayou,Peter and the Wolf,Casey at the Bat,The whale Who Wanted to sing at the Met and Johnie Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet.I bought this disk because Blue Bayou was originally supposed to be part of Fantasia,Peter and the Wolf was narrated by Winnie-the-Pooh,The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met had a very cute whale and it has The Band Concert (Mickey's first color cartoon) as a bonus episode.Like every Disney Gold collection,it doesn't have that much features.In fact,it only had 1.So take it or leave it.How come the All the Cats Join In segment didn't have any cats?Recomended.

Summary: Make Mine Music
Review: I must say this is the most dissapointing Disney effort to date on DVD. To begin with they have edited out the first segnent of the movie. I have no idea why they would do that. Shame on you Disney! Furthermore the quality of the video and aaudio is berlow par. To add insult to injury, Disney all but forces you to wade through a bunch of previews before getting to the main feature. I am now thinking twice about buying any more DVD's from the mouse.

Summary: Editing for PC reasons insults Disney fans
Review: I purchased this DVD with the expectation of owning an accurate and complete version of one of my favorites from Disney's '40's catalog. Unfortunately, what I got was a butchered version that was missing one entire segment ("Martins and the Coys"). I phoned Disney's video customer service department and expressed my displeasure. The spokeswoman said that the segment had been removed "because of the guns" (!). I advised her that the segment was only a comic spoof (albeit based on a real hillbilly feud) and that that episode had been shown many times on the old network Disney show as well as the Disney Channel. I likewise advised her that I was a gun owner (although not a hillbilly one) and that Walt Disney himself had been a gun owner. I noted that firearms were featured in a number of other Disney films (e.g., "Davy Crockett") and those films had not been censored upon release to the home market. I almost returned the DVD for a refund (and probably should have) but decided to keep the thing for what content it has. I feel all Disney fans, especially those who purchase this DVD, should give appropriate input to Disney. This release is certainly not the only example of censorship (e.g.,editing in "Melody Time", withholding of "Song of the South" from the US home video market, etc.) by today's Disney Company. Also, for what it's worth, the video transfer quality is not all that great on this one either.

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.
