Melody Time -- Another of Walt Disney's feature-length variety shows with songs, stories and musical interludes presented in cel animation, live-action photography and sometimes a mixture of both. The music segments vary from the lively to the lyric with visuals to match but more memorable are the stories of itinerant planter Johnny Appleseed, exuberant young tugboat Little Toot and, best of all, the tall tales of Western folk hero Pecos Bill as earnestly told by singing cowboy Roy Rogers. An enjoyable family diversion. (A-I) (br) ( 1948 )

These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

The classifications are as follows:

A-I -- general patronage;
A-II -- adults and adolescents;
A-III -- adults;
L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
O -- morally offensive.

Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
