-> According to Leonard Maltin, Fantasia was not received well when it
-> came out. Both Make Mine Music and Melody Time did better at the box
-> office than Fantasia did - at least up until the late 60's when
-> Fantasia became a
-> pop-culture favorite.  Also, Make Mine Music and Melody Time were sim
-> together better in terms of the rhythm and pace of the movies.  Melod
-> was considered the best of the Disney ominbus movies because on it's
-> try, the studio perfected the pace and timing variables needed to mak
-> movie more enjoyable overall.  These opinions were expressed in
-> Leonard Maltin's excellent book "The Disney Films", which is
-> considered THE definitive work on Disney films for the public.  And
-> I have to say I agree with Maltin's appraisals.
I don't know why you are telling me all of this. All I did was say that
Melody Time had narration in it with unrelated cartoons thrown together.
I have the book you mention and don't particularly like it. It may be
the big end-all-everything for some people, but I have my own mind and
opions and didn't think it was all that hot.
-> Read Maltin's 6 page essay on Melody Time in the aforementioned
-> book, then tell me what you think...
Been There. Seen It. Done It.
