"Music Land" is an American cartoon from 1935 and this means it is over 80 years already. Still it is a color and sound movie and at 9.5 minutes, it is a bit longer than most other cartoons from that era. The name of director Wilfred Jackson is one that shows film buffs immediately that here we got another Disney production, even without the inclusion of Mickey, which you may think if you are mislead by the picture here on imdb. Instead the characters are a group, or I should say two groups, of music instruments, namely string elements and wind instruments and there is a great deal of romance and drama in there, but neither of these two key parts of the film really convinced me I must admit. Still the ending with the metaphorical bridge of harmony was somewhat smart and it elevates everything before that a little bit, but not too much admittedly and certainly not to a level where I would recommend this one. I wonder what Pixar's take on humanized music instruments would be today. Back to this one here, I also felt the music was really underwhelming for a film that so much focuses on the subject of music (instruments). Looks-wise, it is as good as everything else by Disney from that era, but this alone osn't enough. Thumbs down from me. Watch another as this is nowhere near the best Disney had to offer during that time. A bit surprised by the high rating here.
