When "Melody" began, I immediately recognized it from the Sing-Along Songs videotape series from Disney. My oldest daughter watched this particular tape a bazillion times and my only experience with it until now has been in the Sing-Along version. In the case of the Sing-Along tape, entirely new narration and music was added--and the story was completely changed. Sadly, I wasn't all that impressed with either version. Why? Well, "Melody" suffers on two major accounts. First, the animation is very splashy and VERY low quality--the sort of minimalistic stuff Disney began doing after UPA Studio began winning Oscars for its ugly looking shorts. I just think they look poorly animated. Second, the story itself is exactly the sort of stuff kids hate--as there isn't any fun--just lots of education about melodies. Yuck. You can do better.
