It's been awhile since we visited the first decade of Disney's theatrical films, and our return to that early era of Disney is a somewhat rocky one. Maybe not as rocky as the circumstances under which many of those films were made - what with all the World War Two and propaganda demands going on at the time. But when you cobble together an anthology movie based on some pseudo-thought-out ideas all centered generally around the concept of music, you're gonna end up with mixed results. Enter MAKE MINE MUSIC, a collection of shorts that range from delightful and inventive to barely coherent and boring. Vicky, Nolan and Jill have grades to pass out to each segment in this week's We Want The D, and while there is a healthy mix of successes and failure, the overall assignment feels like a miss; especially when the theme of music seems secondary to all the sex and death.
