Fun Disney anthology movie that features seven musical cartoons. Most are very good and all are watchable. My least favorite is probably "Bumble Boogie." Not because it's bad, it's just nothing that memorable. The ones I like the most are "The Legend of Johnny Appleseed," with Dennis Day, "Once Upon a Wintertime" with Frances Langford, the adorable "Little Toot," and "Pecos Bill," a retelling of the folk hero's story introduced by a live action segment that includes Roy Rogers and Bobby Driscoll. This last segment is the one most likely to offend the PC police, both for its depictions of Indians as well as Pecos Bill smoking a cigarette. Stupid, I know, but some think we live in a time where we need others to do our thinking and decide what's best for us. The other two cartoons in this movie are "Trees" (the poem put to music) and a Donald Duck cartoon called "Blame It on the Samba." Both are good. All of these cartoons were released later on their own as theatrical shorts. This is a very enjoyable way to pass the time. It'll put a smile on the face of any fan of old-school Disney movies.
