Peter and the Wolf (1946) has an explicitly Russian setting and Russian characters who are portrayed sympathetically. It is an example of the period it was produced. For much of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union were allies. Pro-Russian/Soviet works such as the film The North Star (1943) were regularly produced by American creators. By 1946, when "Make Mine Music" came out, the War had recently ended and the two countries were still nominally allied. The tensions that would lead to the Cold War were already present, but major actions of hostility did not take place until 1947. It was only then than Anti-Soviet sentiment became the norm in the United States.
One of Disney's four "Package Films". During the Second World War, the studio lost a lot of manpower and resources which left them with countless unfinished ideas too long for shorts, too short for features. So, inventive as they are, they stuck short ideas together into feature length movies. The other three were The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949), Melody Time (1948) and Fun and Fancy Free (1947).
The Martins and the Coys (1946) was cut from the VHS and DVD release (mainly because of comic gun-play). However, a few years before its release it was shown in its entirety on TV.
Various scenes from All the Cats Join In (1946) have been censored in recent releases, mostly for brief moments of nudity and focus on the feminine parts of the female teens. Attention has been drawn to a scene featuring a naked girl jumping out of a shower into her clothes.
This was the second time ballet dancers David Lichine (1910-1972) and Tatiana Riabouchinska (1917-2000) worked in a Disney film. They previously served as dance models for a male alligator and a female hippopotamus in the "Dance of the Hours" ballet sequence of Fantasia (1940).
"Narrator: Peter, don't just stand that way! [the wolf leans Peter downward] Narrator: And don't stand that way either."
"[last lines] Narrator: [Willie impaled by a harpoon by Prof. Tetti-Tatti] Now Willie will never sing at the met. But don't be too harsh on Tetti-Tatti; he just didn't understand. You see, Willie's singing was a miracle, and people aren't used to miracles. [to Willie's seagull friend who mourns the whale's loss] Narrator: And you, faithful little friend, don't be too sad, because miracles never really die. And somewhere in wherever heaven is reserved for creatures of the deep, Willie is still singing, in a hundred voices, each more golden than before, and he'll go on singing in a voice so cheery forever."
