The straight technical expertism is still one of the wonders of the movie world.

This last musical compilation film from the Disney studios was also one of the best, and Disney's animators display their entire creative range.

A film much more entertaining than you'd expect, even if only two of its seven sequences individually reach classic status.

Like healthy, imaginative children, those Disney boys are full of strange caprice. One minute they are doing something charming; the next minute they are slopping in the jam.

A charming, imaginative anthology of cartoon shorts set to music by the likes of such '40s favorites as Roy Rogers and The Andrews Sisters.
