Peter and the wolf was done wrong
Ok there are some points I love. This was my first introduction to the poem Casey at the bat for example. the whale who wanted to sing at the met always made me smile.
However I must say while I loved the vivid coloration of it and seeing Peter and the wolf Disney sensored there too and took an enormous liberty. In the orriginal story the duck was swallowed whole. Leaving it a sort of bittersweet victory and proving that this wolf was a dangerous animal. I guess it was to keep from tramatizing kids but Sasha the duck comes out of a hollow tree at the end. Making it both lighthearted and goofy. Plus the duck and the bird were not friends and while Grandfather deep down was probubly proud of Peter he had his more adult and practical view in the original writiting of it of what if Peter had not been sucessful what then? I really wish they'd left Peter and the wolf as originally written. Kids won't understand that version if they're fed the sugar coated one.

Don't be fooled
Overall my son and I enjoyed this DVD. The quality is even better than the original release and they just don't use music in cartoons like they used to. However, don't be fooled this Peter and the Wolf version has been severely truncated from Prokofiev's original. I conduct orchestras for a living and assure you that the music, narration, and storyline have been substantially altered and shortened from Prokofiev's original. While Disney's productions have helped to expose a wider audience to classical music, I feel it is worth mentioning that they unapologetically alter the composer's creation and then present it as the original. Fantasia has similar artistic compromises throughout. I suggest the more recent release of Peter and the Wolf by Sting and conducted by Cladio Abbado if you are in search of a more accurate representation of Prokofiev's work.

Stroll down memory lane
I ordered this dvd for my children not only for its content - songs I remember from my childhood, like "Johnnie Fedora and Alice Bluebonnett", but also to share with them a unique collection of musical variations not expressed today.
Loved it!

Defective Product
When I received the package containing my purchase, I opened it carefully.
I noticed the magnetic "Security Bar" was loose in the bottom of the box. When I performed an examination of the product, I found a scratch on the playing side. When I played the CD it would skip on of the selection of Casey at the Bat. I am very unhappy with this product.

Make Mine Music
A lower budget production that was released between the bigger ones during the 1940's but never the less, a real charmer. The opening number in the animated presentation involving ten parts is 'A Rustic Ballad', and starts the show off in great style. From there the pace alternates between faster and slower with a wind up to the finale of the well known 'The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met', titled 'Opera Pathetique'. The third item 'A Jazz Interlude' was the highlight for me with the superb Benny Goodman musical track providing the background for some of the best 1940's animation you could hope to see. Other musical stars of the period such as Nelson Eddy, The Andrews Sisters, Jerry Colonna and Dinah Shore who feature on the soundtrack show how well Walt Disney was able to add such a wonderful touch of quality and appeal to this release.

Lots of Good Memories!
Originally I was trying to find a particular cartoon short that my son remembered from when he was just a couple of years old. He's 21 now, and I finally found the cartoon that he remembered on this DVD. I watched it before I sent it to my son, and it all started coming back to me...songs, characters, fantastic animation, all from way back in a much more innocent time. My son called me after receiving and watching it and said that he absolutely loved it! Now he can't wait to have kids of his own to share this great DVD with!
