Synopsis
Make Mine Music (1946) is Walt Disney's animated musical anthology you can watch online on iFILM. Nine self-contained short films roll together into one breezy program, each scored by the biggest names in 1940s popular music — Nelson Eddy, Dinah Shore, Benny Goodman, and the Andrews Sisters among them.
The segments span jazz, classical, and comedy: a sentimental tale of two hats in love, a boisterous retelling of the baseball legend "Casey at the Bat," and the standout piece about a whale with a three-voice operatic tenor who dreams of Carnegie Hall. Sterling Holloway narrates Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf in a reading that Disney would return to for decades.
Released as a wartime-budget follow-up to Fantasia, the film treats music as the real star and animation as its stage. Stream Make Mine Music online on iFILM — a family concert that holds up across generations.
