Synopsis[]
In the grand tradition of Walt Disney’s greatest musical classics, Melody Time — Disney’s 10th animated masterpiece — is a high-spirited blend of music, fun, and fantasy. An adventure in animation and storytelling, this genuine Disney treasure can now be enjoyed on video for the first time ever. Melody Time is a wondrous showcase of seven classic stories, each enhanced with memorable 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 bumblebee 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. Now in celebration of its 50th anniversary, Melody Time has been taken from the vault and beautifully restored. A timeless addition to your Disney video collection — your whole family can enjoy this engaging and delightful Disney classic over and over again.
