Reviews and Comments

From Baruch Weiss :

Professor Owl teaches his class about "Melody" hence the name of this cartoon they would later use in the 1980's in those Disney sing along videos along with some new footage. Anyway, this is my favorite short for obvious reasons! I also laughed at the part where Bertie Birdbrain says "We sing about beauty" then covers the face of Suzy Sparrow with the face of some nerdy kid!

From Billy Joe :

The first short in the Adventures in Music series (as it said on the poster). It's abstract characters teaches us the importance of melody and music. Bertie Birdbrain brought many laughs in this cartoon. This short is a fun journey. I would recommend it.

This is the first animated film in 3-D. The characters and atmosphere are flat, how did it look in 3-D?

From Neo Stryder :

A fun and educative cartoon that keeps showing us Disney's legacy about animation and music, that actual Disney's cartoon hasn't been able to keep. Characters have a simple but interesting design, and music themes reflex us character's rich personality, specially in Canary Sisters and Suzy Sparrow, showing us she's not the typical stereotype of attractive girls.
