The Making of Walt Disney's Fun and Fancy Free Production Credits

_________________________________

_
This film combines the adaptation of Sinclair Lewis' story of a circus bear's journey back to nature with a revision of the fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk," starring Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. Bongo, tired of his life as a show bear, escapes from the circus, only to find that he can't climb a tree and the noises of the forest scare him. On his way back to civilization, he meets the girl bear Lulubelle, who sends out a confusing message by hitting him. Bongo doesn't know about the old custom: when bears are in love, they say it with a slap. And little does Mickey know about the magic beans for which he traded his cow. Soon Mickey, Donald, and Goofy find themselves climbing a beanstalk, just in time to liberate a singing harp from the evil giant, Willie.

Melody Time, released in 1948, was the last, and arguably best, of the Disney animated features to be compiled from a series of short cartoons, prior to a return to single story features two years later with Cinderella, Like Make Mine Music, the film employed a number of popular entertainers to present the musical sequences, and while its disparate episodes lack any unifying element, there is strong storytelling with the tales of "Johnny Appleseed," "Little Toot" and "Pecos Bill." The film also features the pictorially delightful "Once Upon a Wintertime." the exquisitely animated "Trees," and, in "Bumble Boogie" and "Blame It on the Samba," two of the most outrageously imaginative and vibrantly exciting pieces of experimental animation featured in the Disney studio's output during the 1940s.
