Film segments

This particular film has ten such segments:

• The Martins and the Coys features popular radio vocal group, The King's Men singing the story of a Hatfields and McCoys-style feud in the mountains broken up when two young people from each side fall in love. This segment was later cut from the film's video release due to comic gunplay.
• Blue Bayou features animation originally intended for Fantasia using the Debussy musical composition Clair de Lune.
• All the Cats Join In is one of two segments to which Benny Goodman contributed. An innovative shot in which a pencil draws the action as it is happening, and in which 1940s teens are swept away by popular music.
• Without You is a ballad of lost love, sung by Andy Russell.
• Casey at the Bat features Jerry Colonna, reciting the famous poem about the arrogant ballplayer whose cockiness was his undoing.
• Two Silhouettes features two live-action ballet dancers, David Lichine and Tania Riabouchinskaya, moving in silhouette with animated backgrounds and characters. Dinah Shore sings the title song.
• Peter and the Wolf features Sterling Holloway narrating an adaptation of Prokofiev's composition about a little boy who goes hunting for a wolf, with each of the characters being thematically represented by a member of an orchestra (violins, flute, etc.).
• After You've Gone again features Benny Goodman and his orchestra as four anthropomorphized instruments parade through a musical playground.
• Johnnie Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnett tells the romantic story of two hats who fall in love in a department store window. When Alice is sold, Johnny devotes himself to finding her again. The Andrews Sisters provide the vocals.
• The Whale Who Wanted To Sing At the Met is the bittersweet finale about a Sperm Whale with incredible musical talent and his dreams of singing Grand Opera. But short-sighted impressario Tetti-Tatti believes that the whale has simply swallowed an opera singer, and chases him with a harpoon. Nelson Eddy narrates and performs all the voices in this segment.

Criticism

Make Mine Music proved to be a slight disappointment, particularly from Walt Disney's critical view. It was not well received by the critics either, although many critics chose the Benny Goodman pieces, Johnnie and Alice, and Willie the Whale segments as the highlights of the film.
