I use to belong to a film club and purchase and show films in the house. I came across this title and bought it and enjoyed it immensly. The Technicolor and the amount of drawings to accomplish the complex display on the screen were very impressive. I later found out that the Disney Studio's were in financial problems and this was the last in a series of features that contained several songs and stories. I was very impressed by the amount of color and live action with Donald Duck and Ethel Smith at the organ sequence. And who does not like Roy Rogers and his horse Trigger and the Sons of the Pioneers. It is very enjoyable short feature with a variety of items to please most people.
I was really disappointed with the Pecos Bill feature. The part where Pecos Bill rode the Tornado was cut out, it was very obvious that it was taken out, and I wanted this complete as it was originally made. It really angered me to find that it had been cut.
One of our all time Disney favorites. Enjoyable for the whole family, adults and kids. Very nostalgic and I got this as an extra copy to share with others.
This Walt Disney classic goes back to my fondest memories from childhood. As a child, I had a set of 78 rpm Disney records telling the story of "Johnny Appleseed" and played them until worn. It was wonderful to see the original classic animation on this DVD that went with it. The character voices were provided by Dennis Day. There are seven other animated musical shorts on this DVD. "Bumble Boogie" is a very upbeat jazz version of "The flight of the bumble bee". There is the story of "Pecos Bill", and many other delightful stories. The musical talents in these classics include Roy Rogers, and the Andrew Sisters. This is family entertainment at it's best in my opinion. Kids will love the animation, Adults like me enjoy the memories of a bygone era when music, animation, and classic stories were Disney's mainstay.
