Make Mine Music Magical Meal

Make Mine Music is a compilation of different Disney shorts. Some make sense and some do not, but all showcase the talents of the Disney studios so it’s worth a watch. Enjoy this meal with your movie. Here’s the menu: All the Cool Cats Cashews Willie the Whale Whaler Sandwiches Casey Coleslaw Blue Bayou Beans Peter and the Wolf Popsicles Make Mine Music Mints For Casey Coleslaw, cut up a medium head of cabbage (white or red or ½ head of each). Shred and put in a large bowl. Add 2 shredded carrots, ¼ cup sugar, ¼ cup cider vinegar, and salt to taste. Mix. Then add in ¾ cup mayonnaise. Chill before serving. I loved the Blue Bayou Beans! Mix a can of baked beans with 3/4ths of a can of fried onion rings, 1 teaspoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon mustard, and 1 teaspoon brown sugar. Cook in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes. Then turn oven up to 400 degrees and place remaining ¼ can of the onion rings on top. Cook in the oven for 5 minutes. You want to serve this dish hot. For the Willie the Whale Whaler Sandwiches, cook frozen fish fillets according to the package instructions. While hot, assemble the sandwiches. Take the bottom bun and spread with tartar sauce. Then place a cooked fish fillet, a cheese slice, and shredded lettuce. Spread tartar sauce on the top bun and finish off the sandwich. Yum! The dessert is as cool as the Russian outdoors in Peter and the Wolf (one of the Fitzmartin’s personal favorites). In the freezer section of your grocery store, find the all-fruit popsicles. When ready to serve, stack them up in a glass for a colorful presentation. The appetizer, All the Cool Cats Cashew, is simply a can of cashews poured into a serving dish to munch on. Cashews are a very healthy fat. And purchase the fancy chocolate mints to end your dining and viewing pleasure. Thomas’s review: Make Mine Music is the first package film since Fantasia to show shorts and ties them in with music. The shorts were good, but the memorable shorts are “Casey at the Bat, “Peter and the Wolf,” and the whale who wants to sing at the Met. The animation was very good at the time with one short having live action—people dancing. The whale story is the most memorable character with his dreams of being an opera singer. The music is really good even though it was popular at the time. Make Mine Music is a fun movie to enjoy. It’s not a classic, but it’s worth a rental.
