Look at that- we're already to double digits! That's good news... because this film is nothing to write home about. The only thing to get excited about here is that Melody Time is the last of the anthology films! Yeah!
Melody Time released on May 27, 1948. Melody Time contained seven segments: "Once Upon a Wintertime", "Bumble Boogie", "Johnny Appleseed", "Trees", "Little Toot", "Blame It On The Samba" and "Pecos Bill".
