Melody Time: Disney Gold Classic Collection

Description

In the grand tradition of Disney's greatest musical classics such as FANTASIA, MELODY TIME features seven classic stories, each enhanced with high-spirited music and unforgettable characters! Donald Duck -- an all-time Disney favorite -- puts on a display of jazzy antics as the star of "Blame It On The Samba." Music becomes a real adventure for a busy bumble bee in "Bumble Boogie." From the mischievous young tugboat in "Little Toot," to the heroes of legend and myth in "Johnny Appleseed" and "Pecos Bill," this feast for the eyes and ears entertains with wit and charm. A timeless addition to your video collection, MELODY TIME is a delightful Disney classic with something for everyone in your family!|Many of the segments in this film were later released separately as shorts.|Donald Duck, Jose Carioca, and Aracuan Bird are reunited from THE THREE CABALLEROS in the "Blame It On The Samba" portion of the film.|The "Johnny Appleseed" portion of the film tells the story of folk hero John Chapman, born in 1774, who wandered the Ohio River region for some 40 years planting and tending apple orchards.|Many believe the "Bumble Boogie" section of the film owes an indirect debt to "Destino," a surrealist short that Salvador Dali and Disney attempted to produce together.
