Critics Consensus

This collection of musical-themed shorts doesn't reach the artistic heights of Fantasia, but it's well animated and mostly good fun.

TIME Magazine Even Walt Disney's best films -- barring his wonderful slapstick -- have suffered from sticky taste; in this effort to be just plain folksy, that stickiness pretty thoroughly gums up the works. Nov 16, 2009 Full Review Variety Staff Variety It entertains all the way. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Trevor Johnston Time Out Overall, it's hit and miss. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn Make Mine Music might have a few memorable moments, but these are not enough to save this disjointed and overall underwhelming feature. Apr 20, 2023 Full Review Virginia Wright Illustrated Daily News (Los Angeles) While this is a pleasant collection of short subjects, there is nothing in Make Mine Music to startle the imagination. Jul 9, 2021 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rotoscopers It take some effort to track down the movie, but I encourage you to give Make Mine Music a watch.

Elvis D Esta película animada antológica de Disney intenta repetir la fórmula de Fantasia. Es una película animada admirable por la animación y la banda sonora, pero su aspecto suele cambiar a medida que pasa los segmentos. Es como si tuviera dos perspectivas que cambian bastante. Algunos segmentos son más bien intervalos debido a que son animaciones artísticas hechas en modo de un video musical. Los demás segmentos restantes son historias animadas que se pueden apreciar en aspecto argumental. Para ser claro, la película cambia desde un aspecto visual a un aspecto argumental y viceversa. Eso hace que la película sea extraña, pero no disfrutable de ver. Los segmentos que tienen argumentos como los chicos que van de fiesta, la ballena que canta opera, el niño que va tras un lobo y el sombrero que busca a su amada son lo más disfrutable de esta película. Aquí la película no pretende ser un espectáculo magistral de música clásica como Fantasia, lo que pretende es ser una unión de los géneros musicales que tenían popularidad en la época como el jazz, la opera, la música sinfónica, entre otras. Lo único que se puede decir de Make Mine Music es que una pieza rara y fascinante para los que les interesa coleccionar los trabajos de Disney. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 9/10. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Daniel F So bad, that it's unwatchable on every singled streaming service. 0/10 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/23 Full Review Dale R With reduced staff because of the war, Disney released several anthology films of shorts. Make Mine Music seemed to try to recapture the magic of "Fantasia", but didn't succeed because of the many different types of music used in this collection. Again, the individual shorts are great, they just don't work together in any meaningful way. The Blue Bayou short was cut from "Fantasia" and the music was changed from Debussy's Clair de Lune to Blue Bayou sung by the Ken Darby Singers. The original still exists and is much better! Other favorites of mine include Casey at the Bat and The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Cyrus K Some of the segments can get boring but the segments that work really do work!

Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Yaaaaa, just more of "Saludos Amigos" but with an even weaker tie in. Cause that's what I want to see with a Disney movie, right people? Like I'm not that big of a fan of either movie, but at least with "Saludos" I understand what they were trying to do and the thing tying them all together make sense enough. That being that the Disney animators went to South America for inspiration for their new cartoons. Did it work all the way though? No, but at least I can see where they are coming from. With "Make Mine Music", however, I can't find anything to tie all the segments together, except for maybe the styles of music that they chose because they were popular at the time. If that is the case, that's a really lazy "plot". There's nothing technically wrong with the movie, the animation is fine, the segments are fine, the singing is fine, but it's boring and unfocused, and it's not as creative or mature as "Fantasia" to get away with it. It's just like "Saludos Amigos" even down to THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. This is, of course, another easily skippable Disney movie for me, which is how I would describe all the package films so far. Oh, but don't you worry. We haven't even gotten to the worse of the bunch yet. For that, check out the next review, it's gonna be quite "Fancy".
