Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTchaikovsky scolds Ted for having used one of his melodies and then says to the Official Recorder to let him "know when that Freddy Martin checks in here (Heaven)". Freddy Martin's biggest hit was "Tonight We Love" in 1941, which heavily borrowed from Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto Number 1 in B-flat Minor. It was such a big hit that Martin began to incorporate melodies from the classics in follow-up songs.

Featured review
Silly, but kind of cute
Oscar winner for Best Short Subject of 1943.
A composer tries to get admitted to the Hall of Music in Heaven. He has to convince some of the world's greatest dead composers that he's worthy. This leads to "humorous" talks and interplay among the composers. The songs and music are the only reasons to see this short. The acting is pretty bad and the humor is very lame. Still, it's kind of fun (in a silly way) and it's only 22 minutes. Worth catching.
