Love your reactions to these og Disney movies. Would love to see you do the other classics, Dumbo, Fantasia, Pinocchio, 101 Dalmations, etc. There are several solid adaptions of Cinderella as well, my personal favorite is Ever After from 1998, would love to see you guys react to that one as well!

Thank you! I think Pinocchio will be my next one. I would love to do Fantasia, but I'm pretty sure it's all music and would be a copyright issue outright.

I couldn't remember if I had seen this all the way through before, but so much of it was familiar. It was re-released in theaters five times over forty years, so it's possible I saw it with my family in 1973. All I remember were the mice. Your comments in the intro got me thinking about how I was first exposed to the Disney "universe" as a child. I was born in '66, so I grew up watching "The Wonderful World of Disney" on ABC every Sunday night. They showed limited tv series, cartoons, and movies, but never the original animated classics. I had a Disney storybook which included scenes from this movie, and I also had a wonderful record album of Disney songs. It included the Winnie the Pooh theme, the "Jungle Book" song "I Wanna Be Like You", and "Cinderelly, Cinderelly." I feel like my childhood was totally Disneyfied, even though there was no Disney channel and no Disney radio, just one hour a week and some books and records. But somehow everyone knew every character and every story from the Disney universe. I suppose it's called successful marketing. The creator of "The Chipmunks", Ross Bagdasarian, started releasing novelty songs in which he sped up the recording of his voice in 1958. There's no evidence he stole the idea from this movie, but he sure wasn't the first to come up with it. It's funny you mentioned "Tom and Jerry", because those cartoons were HUGE in the ten years before this, releasing several cartoons a year. I think it's clear that the Disney animators wanted to capitalize on that popularity. Many of the beautiful wide shots during the dancing scene reminded me of "Beauty and the Beast", which Disney created 41 years later and, along with "The Little Mermaid", revitalized the Disney empire. There were only three Disney princesses until "The Little Mermaid." You're right about "Fantasia"; while it's an amazing work of art, it's two hours of music, so it would be pointless for you to try it. I'm looking forward to "Pinocchio"; it's a fun and unique story, with nary a wicked stepmother in sight.

The Tom & Jerry nod makes sense! I didn't know the timelines, but if the cartoon was a hit prior to this film, Disney absolutely could have been nodding to T&J. I haven't seen Beauty and the Beast, but will try to watch it in the future.
