IMDb plot summary: Animation done to contemporary popular music.
Directed by Robert Cormack, Clyde Geronimi, and 3 others. Starring Nelson Eddy, Dinah Shore, Benny Goodman, and The Andrews Sisters.
There are definitely some gems here -- Peter and the Wolf is a nostalgic favorite of mine, and I love the playfulness between the animators and the animated characters on All the Cats Join In -- but there are a lot of segments that are less interesting. There are a handful that are just slow and dreary without a lot of variety to them, and they feel more like music videos than anything else. I admit I have a strong bias for storycentric film and can't quite get into something that's mostly just pretty visuals set to music, so if that is something you don't struggle to connect with, this might be a much more engaging series of shorts for you. I do appreciate the varied styles of animation, from quiet and pastoral to loud and cartoony. It's certainly a good showcase of Disney animator talent. It just often leaves me bored.
