Melody Time (1948)

IMDb

While I've seen most if not all of the cartoons that make-up this 'feature' before, I don't know if I ever saw them all together in this form or not. However that doesn't matter much to me, because they were nice to see again and I've always been a sucker for those Disney compilation films of the 40's. I just find them soothing, collections of simple tales backed up by the vocal work of various largely forgotten musical talents of the time. On of these Buddy Clark, who is the master of ceremonies for this film, actually died in a plane crash about a year after its release. This movie also comes recommend as perhaps the only way you'll get a three year old now days to watch Roy Rogers. Love the Goonie Bird.
