In light of World War II, a large portion of Disney's animators were drafted. In order to keep making movies, Disney had to settle with releasing package films. ''Make Mine Music'' is the first of these films (Although ''WesternAnimation/SaludosAmigos'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros'' can be included too, they were a product of the government wanting to make friends with South America, not because of a lack of animators.) Unlike most other Disney animated features from before the age of home video, this was never given a theatrical re-release. Sometimes, however, the individual segments were each tacked onto another Disney release. It was also the last one from Walt Disney's lifetime to be released on home video, and the only one absent from Creator/DisneyPlus as of the launch date.[[note]]Once Disney+ added ''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}'' in June 2020, ''Make Mine Music'' became the Canon's only fully hand-drawn movie (''Film/SongOfTheSouth'', also absent from the service, is live action and hand drawn), period, absent from the service.[[/note]]

As the name implies, the movie is a music-based AnimatedAnthology in a similar vein to ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'', divided into 10 separate shorts. As with many of the Disney package films of this period, the segments would occasionally be aired separately as part of various Disney anthology TV shows in the 80s and 90s. The shorts that comprise the film consist of the following:

** "Blue Bayou" AKA "Clair De Lune" was intended as a full segment for ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'', but was ultimately scrapped as a victim of Fantasia being too long as it already was. The version used here is a edited down version. Fortunately, the full uncut version (which was salvaged from an extremely rare workprint) was included as an extra on "The Fantasia Anthology."

** Despite [[spoiler:Sonia]]'s spirit entering the pearly gates; presumably this image is just Peter and friends' imagination. It's notable as being one of the earliest examples of the trope, following [[spoiler: Disney/{{Snow White|AndTheSevenDwarfs}}'s]] and [[spoiler:Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'s]], and possibly the first ever straight example of the trope, as both [[spoiler:Snow White]] and [[spoiler:Pinocchio]] were [[DeathIsCheap more or less dead]] and revived afterwards, whereas [[spoiler:Sonia was alive the whole time]].

* StockSoundEffect: Dopey's crying from ''Disney/SnowWhite'' is used twice when Sasha mourns for Sonia's apparent death.

* WordSaladTitle: It's safe to say that ''Make Mine Music'' has confused a lot of kids, especially if they haven't yet learned alternate syntax and don't know that "mine" here is a pronoun, not an adjectival noun (i.e., "As for me, I'll take some music"). There have probably been a lot of mistaken notions that the title refers to making music while mining (which really is done in ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''!).

* AlliterativeName: '''M'''ake '''M'''ine '''M'''usic.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: In ''All the Cats Join In'', the teenage girl seems to have one.

** In ''All the Cats Join In'', there's a sequence in which a teenage girl strips down and takes a shower, then gets dressed. Although no "naughty bits" appear, the scene is [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids surprisingly explicit]] for a Disney film.

** [[spoiler:Yeah, Willie's been harpooned and killed, but he continues to sing in heaven.]]

** Peter gets this too, although it doesn't last as long.

** Willie the opera-singing whale [[spoiler: who is harpooned to death by Tetti-Tatti]].

* SpinningPaper[=/=]ExtraExtraReadAllAboutIt: The opening of ''The Whale Who Wanted To Sing At the Met'', as we are told about the discovery of said whale. WorstNewsJudgmentEver is averted as the stories about Willie begin in small columns at the back of the paper, gradually becoming a front page story as the story gains notoriety.

* ''The Whale Who Wanted To Sing At the Met'' is about an incredibly gifted whale named Willie, that can not only sing Opera, but sing in three distinct voices at once thanks to his three uvulas. When he hears impresario Tetti-Tatti [[note]]a play on the name of Metropolitan Opera general manager Giulio Gatti-Cassazza[[/note]] is searching for him, he eagerly jumps at the call, not realizing that Tetti-Tatti, believing Willie's singing talent is due to him having swallowed an Opera singer, [[spoiler:is trying to kill him. ''And does.'' It's one of Disney's most horrifically tragic moments, even though we see that Willie ends up in heaven. If nothing else it will guarantee that your children grow up to want to Save The Whales.]]

* ''Two Silhouettes'' features two live-action silhouettes dancing to ballet music

* HappilyEverAfter: Played with oddly in ''The Martins and The Coys'' where the spirits of the two respective families are initially appalled at the idea of the two families living HappilyEverAfter... then come Gracie and Henry's [[BelligerantSexualTension marital spats]].

* HappilyEverAfter: Played with oddly in ''The Martins and The Coys'' where the spirits of the two respective families are initially appalled at the idea of the two families living HappilyEverAfter. Until it turns out Gracie and Henry's marital life is anything ''but'' happy.

* EverybodyCries: This trope is used twice during ''Peter and the Wolf''. In the first instance, Peter, Ivan, and Sasha cry over [[spoiler: Sonia's [[DisneyDeath apparent demise]] at the hands of the wolf]]. In the second instance, Misha, Yasha, and Vladimir burst out crying when it briefly looks like Peter has been eaten by the wolf.

* RippedFromTheHeadlines: The ''Martins and the Coys'' segment is a loose adaptation of the real-life [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatfield%E2%80%93McCoy_feud Hatfield–McCoy feud]] from the Mid-to-Late 19th Century.

* ''The Whale Who Wanted To Sing At the Met'' is about an incredibly gifted whale named Willie, that can not only sing Opera, but sing in three distinct voices at once thanks to his three uvulas. When he hears impresario Tetti-Tatti is searching for him, he eagerly jumps at the call, not realizing that Tetti-Tatti, believing Willie's singing talent is due to him having swallowed an Opera singer, is trying to hunt him.

* BringMyRedJacket: Peter is dressed entirely in red.
