celebrities like edgar bergen and dinah shore were cast to introduce the segments in order to appeal to a mass audience. jiminy cricket from pinocchio was also placed in the scene in which he sings
i' m a happy - go - lucky fellow
, a song written for and cut out of pinocchio before its release .
there were some criticisms made both in the media and in public opinion. many of the complaints from average viewers related to either the acting of the rookie actors or to the subject matter of war, which was declining in popularity in the years following the end of world war ii. there have also been critics who argued that the film did not go far enough in condemning the incarceration, particularly the role of president franklin d. roosevelt. others have criticized the condescension present in the film' s depictions of the japanese americans' short stature, happy - go - lucky demeanor, and hawaiian pidgin dialect .
in the second featurette, the story of
mickey and the beanstalk
is narrated by edgar bergen in live - action sequences, who, with the help of his ventriloquist' s puppets charlie mccarthy and mortimer snerd, tells the tale to child actress luana patten at her birthday party. the story begins in a prosperous land called happy valley, which is a lush, green valley, complete with fertile farmlands and babbling brooks. happy valley' s prosperity is the result of the magic of the voice of a beautiful golden harp, who sings daily to keep happy valley prosperous and happy due to the magic spell cast by her voice. the harp is kept in a large, majestic castle overlooking happy valley, where she sings daily from her balcony, much to the delight of the residents of happy valley .
jiminy cricket of pinocchio first appears inside a large house, exploring it and singing
i' m a happy - go - lucky fellow
( originally written for pinocchio), until he happens upon a record player and some records, and sets it up to play the story of
bongo
, as told by dinah shore (however, in the re - release of bongo, jiminy cricket narrates the story himself) .

shortly after rough animation on dumbo was complete in may 1941, the legend of happy valley was put into production, using many of the same cast, although rko doubted it would be a success. since it was a simple, low - budget film, in six months fifty minutes had been animated on
happy valley
. then on october 27, 1941, due to the disney animators' strike and world war ii which had cut off disney' s foreign release market caused the company to be in serious debt so disney put the legend of happy valley on hold .

1951 feature film that tells the story of 442nd regimental combat team and that climaxes with the rescue of the
lost battalion .
a popular and critical success, go for broke! represents a landmark in the representation of japanese americans in hollywood films. the film focuses on the transformation of the initially bigoted lt. michael grayson (played by van johnson), who is assigned to command the all - japanese american unit. the members of the 442nd were mostly played by nisei veterans. producer and mgm studio head dore schary would produce another film centered around bigotry aimed at japanese americans four years later, bad day at black rock (1955) .

the scene where edgar bergen was comforting mortimer snerd when he was crying because of willie' s supposed death was seen on tv in disney' s 2007 film enchanted .
originally, gideon and j. worthington foulfellow were set to make an appearance in the film segment of the film as con artist who sell mickey the magic beans. however, since walt disney felt the scene was irrelevant, the scene was dropped. a deleted scene showed that minnie, as a princess, gave mickey the magic beans .
walt felt since the animation of bongo and the legend of happy valley (which had been renamed mickey and the beanstalk) was not as sophisticated enough to be a standard disney animated feature film, the artists then decided that they would be more convenient as part of a package film. at first walt wanted mickey and the beanstalk to be paired with wind in the willows (which was in production around this time), under the new title two fabulous characters. however mickey and the beanstalk was cut from two fabulous characters and paired with bongo instead. two fabulous characters eventually added the legend of sleepy hollow and was re - titled the adventures of ichabod and mr toad .
the trio then conspires to escape back to happy valley with the harp by means of the beanstalk. as donald and goofy transport the harp, mickey attempts to tie willie' s shoestrings together as an insurance policy in case willie wakes up, but ends up waking him up as a result by accident. thus begins a wild chase, with willie in hot pursuit of mickey as donald and goofy take the harp back down the beanstalk. at the bottom, the trio set to felling the beanstalk with a large saw, causing the giant plant to topple and causing willie to fall to his supposed doom. the trio return the harp to her rightful place in her castle, restoring happy valley to its former glory .

while the emphasis is more on the first part than on the second part of that compound, it' s okay .

while there is validity to these complaints, many agree that the film had more of a positive impact than negative. historians have long argued that the service of the nisei soldiers helped to improve the standing of japanese americans in the united states and for decades go for broke! was one of the only visible reminders of their service. it is logical to claim that the film introduced this story to many americans and thus played a part in helping to end discrimination against the japanese americans. historian takashi fujitani has argued that it neither significantly helped nor hurt the situation for japanese americans in the united states. [ 2 ] instead he believes that it perpetuated some stereotypes while affirming some positives, but did not have a measurable impact beyond laying the groundwork for the
model minority
myth of the 1960s .

in the late 1930s, mickey' s popularity fell behind donald duck, goofy, pluto and max fleischer' s popeye. in order to boost his popularity, walt disney and his artist created cartoons such as the brave little tailor and the sorcerer' s apprentice, which later became a part of the feature film fantasia. in early 1940 during production on fantasia, animators bill cottrell and t. hee pitched the idea of a feature film based on jack and the beanstalk starring mickey mouse as jack, with donald duck and goofy as supporting characters. when they pitched it to walt, he
burst out laughing with tears rolling down his cheeks with joy
, as cottrell and hee later recalled. walt enjoyed it so much he invited other employees to listen to it. however he said as much as he enjoyed it, the film would never be put into production because as walt claimed that they
murdered [ his ] characters
. however, cottrell and hee were able to talk walt into giving it the greenlight and story development of the legend of happy valley commenced on may 2, 1940 .

on that same day the army came into the studio, and asked them to help out with something, which would take over all productions. due to this, bongo was put on hold, along with alice in wonderland, peter pan, cinderella, the wind in the willows, song of the south, and the legend of happy valley. during the war the military asked the disney studio to mainly produce propaganda films. during and after the war, walt stopped producing single narrative feature films due to the high costs and decided to
package
animated shorts together to make a feature film, known as a package film. he had done this during the war on saludos amigos and the three caballeros, and continued doing them after the war until he had enough money to make a single narrative feature again. make mine music, which was released in 1946, preceded fun and fancy free .

the exploits of the all - japanese american 100th infantry / 442nd regimental combat team (rct) were well - known during the war years due to media reports documenting their service in europe. similarly, the japanese american incarceration was no secret as executive order 9066 resulted in the removal and confinement of nearly 120, 000 japanese americans. yet in the years following world war ii, these two events were largely ignored due to a number of circumstances, not the least of which was lingering racism against the japanese american community. one glaring exception to this silence in the decades following the war was the film go for broke! (1951) .
regardless of whether the film was positive, negative, or neutral, its presence as one of the only popular culture depictions of the military service of the 100th / 442nd rct makes it an invaluable piece of japanese american memory. in fact, in many ways this film remains one of the most accessible reminders of the world war ii japanese american military service. viewers can rent or access the movie in a variety of mediums including rental services like netflix, online viewing sites like youtube, and retailers such as amazon .
disney had provided the voice for mickey mouse since his debut in 1928, and fun and fancy free was the last time that he would do the role, since he no longer had the time or the energy to do so. he then passed the role to disney sound effect artist jimmy macdonald to do mickey' s voice. macdonald started voicing mickey after this film, not additional lines for the film as it is commonly believed. disney did, however, later reprise the role in the mickey mouse club .

the original treatment remained more - or - less the same than what ended up in the final film. however there were a few deleted scenes. for example there was a scene in which mickey took the cow to market where he meets honest john and gideon from pinocchio who con him into trading his cow for the
magic beans
. another version had a scene where mickey gave the cow to the queen (played by minnie mouse) as a gift, and in return she gave him the magic beans. however, both scenes were later cut when the story was tightened for fun and fancy free and the film does not explain how mickey got the beans .
public opinion and critical reviews were overwhelmingly positive, though there were occasional critics. the movie was nominated for best story and screenplay in the 1951 academy awards, though it lost to an american in paris. many of the major news outlets like the new york times and the washington post issued very positive reviews of both the movie itself and its depiction of history. in particular the film was praised for its accuracy and attention to detail in telling the exploits of the nisei soldiers. viewers were also positive in their reviews with 251 of 398 surveyed rating the film

one day, however, a dark shadow is cast over happy valley and thunder and lightning rip across the sky as the shadow descends upon the harp' s balcony and absconds with her, leaving signs of the theft in its wake. without the harp' s magical voice to keep prosperity over the land, happy valley soon descends into famine and drought, turning the once beautiful valley into a gruesome wasteland as crops turn to dust and are swallowed by the earth and the brooks dry up. in the midst of this terrible famine, viewers are introduced to three peasants (mickey, donald, and goofy) who are suffering greatly due to starvation, with only a small loaf of bread and a single bean to share amongst themselves. as mickey cuts their daily rations and serves them, the long - suffering donald temporarily loses his composure and begins to savagely eat anything within his reach, including dishes and eating utensils, causing mickey and goofy to have to restrain him. after he temporarily calms down, donald sights the group' s lone cow outside and an axe on the wall, formulating a plot to kill the cow so as to satisfy his hunger. when it becomes apparent to the others what he is about to do, mickey and goofy leap to once again restrain the delirious donald .
the star of the film was van johnson, who had just appeared in pirosh and schary' s previous work, battleground! (1949). johnson played lt. michael grayson, a soldier who had recently finished officer training and reported to camp shelby, mississippi, where he is put in charge of the 100th / 442nd rct. he is disappointed with his new unit, suspicious of their loyalties, and openly states his desire to return to his original unit, the 36th division. though his own commanding officer captain solari tries to convince him of the loyalty and quality of the all - japanese american unit, lt. grayson spends much of the film trying to catch up with and rejoin his preferred unit .
the writer and director robert pirosh initially set out to research and write a love story about a young japanese american university student, but the more he learned the more he focused on the story of the 100th / 442nd rct. he ultimately decided to create a film that would accurately show the negative aspects of the incarceration but with the overall positive affirmation of the brave service of nisei soldiers. his partner on the project was producer dore schary, the son of jewish immigrants who was known for racial tolerance, the use of minority actors, and left - leaning tendencies in his films. ultimately, pirosh and schary, who was head of mgm studios at the time of the release, produced a very well - received film that transformed the portrayal of japanese americans in hollywood .
the film depicts the 100th / 442nd rct as they complete their preparations at camp shelby demonstrating their abilities and bravery even in training. they are transferred to the european theater and the film highlights some of their most famous exploits at monte cassino, hill 140, and the rescue of the lost battalion. the loyalty, determination, and courage of the japanese americans gradually wins over lt. grayson, even to the point that he fights with a friend in their defense. though he has come to appreciate his own men, he is eventually transferred back to the 36th division just before they are trapped in the vosges mountains and surrounded by germans. the nisei soldiers rescue lt. grayson and the rest of his unit and return home as honored heroes receiving a presidential unit citation for their actions in the rescue of the lost battalion .
meanwhile, production was starting on bongo, a film based on the short story written by sinclair lewis for cosmopolitan magazine in 1930. it was suggested that bongo could be a prequel to dumbo and some of the cast from the 1941 film would appear as supporting characters, however the idea never fully materialized. in earlier drafts bongo had a chimpanzee as a friend and partner in his circus act. he was first called
beverly
then
chimpy
, but was ultimately dropped when condensing the story. bongo and chimpy also encountered two mischievous bear cubs who were also dropped. originally, the designs for the characters were more realistic, but when paired for fun and fancy free the designs were simplified and made more cartoony. a nearly completed script was completed on december 8, 1941, the day after the attack on pearl harbor .
the musical cinema careers of both stars was almost at an end when this film was released. dick powell clearly knew that his time as a juve lead was nearing its natural end as he appeared in
farewell my lovely
the following year. mary martin made one more film in this era before returning to the stage. she made very few films so a musical such as this is of great interest. although she is quite delightful i do not think that she had the glamour of say rita hayworth or the brashness of betty grable to enable her screen career to really take off. all of her performances that i have seen have been engaging without being memorable. dick powell does what he had been doing for 10 years on screen. betty hutton, eddie bracken and rudy vallee all lend support in this very entertaining and colourful 40s musical .

master of treating romantic obsession and self - delusion, prolific director hong (claire' s camera, in another country), a school of the art institute of chicago alum, builds a playful farce around the efforts of bogwan (kwon), a middle - aged book publisher, to conceal his marital peccadillos on a day when he welcomes areum (kim of the handmaiden), a newly hired assistant, to his office. a sly sense of humor informs the film' s intricate mirror - image rounds of mistaken identity, missed connections, and misunderstandings, as hong subtly lampoons the preening pretensions of male privilege in a triangular plot involving areum, rejected lover changsook (kim sae - byuk), and bogwan' s violently jealous wife. in korean with english subtitles. dcp digital.

perhaps the most unpredictable of major modern filmmakers, claire denis (beau travail, trouble every day) follows up her lurid revenge drama bastards with a delicate, bittersweet character study that flirts with the conventions of romantic comedy but remains uncategorizable. isabelle (binoche) is a divorced parisian artist whom we first encounter in the final stages of an affair with a boorish married banker (beauvois). the film then follows her from one unsatisfactory liaison to another, as she despairs of ever finding real love, until an ambiguous ray of hope is provided by an unexpected source. inspired by roland barthes' s
a lover' s discourse ,
and carried by binoche' s beautifully nuanced performance, let the sunshine in (a better translation of the french title would be
a beautiful sunshine within
) is a perceptive primer on the evasive and deceptive language of love, through which people don' t necessarily say what they mean, and don' t necessarily mean what they say. in french with english subtitles. dcp digital. (mr )
this all - encompassing portrait of andré leon talley - formidable potentate in the world of style, right - hand - man to vogue' s anna wintour, and longtime protégé of the legendary editor diana vreeland - details his struggle as a gay black man scaling the heights in the elite and once all - white sub - culture of international fashion. a flamboyant presence and expansive raconteur, talley, who was raised by his grandmother in durham, nc, credits her sense of propriety and the high style of southern black church - goers in their sunday best as the influences that profoundly shaped his world view. earning an advanced degree in french literature at brown, he got his foot in the door in new york by answering phones at warhol' s interview magazine and volunteering for vreeland' s costume institute at the met. as his eye for style made him indispensable, talley used his power to advocate for black models and designers, as testified by the film' s interviews with naomi campbell, sean

very fun, enjoyable movie with a terrific cast but its betty hutton' s movie! not only does she have some great comedy with eddie bracken but she has 2 song and dance numbers that are just fantastic fun and really showcase her unique and exuberant qualities. fun little romantic plot and mary martin and dick powell are just fine but hutton' s the main reason to get this. i love it but then i love watching betty hutton !
it' s the kind - of remake of the lady eve i never knew i wanted - it' s also a musical (wow !). now just imagine that except not as funny or clever, some of the laziest musical numbers (seriously, the title song is performed by two people sitting in a boat - they' re fucking sitting down), and a lead performer who i' d like to place the blame on for apparently inspiring all things bette middler has ever done .
filmed in lush technicolor with great costumes - you even get a brief fashion show! - it' s at heart a romantic comedy with manipulations and misunderstandings but pleasantly done. betty even performs one of her biggest hits
murder, he says !

this material is based upon work assisted by a grant from the department of the interior, national park service. any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author (s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the department of the interior .
bongo: the story of a circus bear cub, who runs away from the circus to the wild and the adventures there that follow. this was based on an original story by sinclair lewis .
mickey and the beanstalk: a moralized adaptation of jack and the beanstalk with mickey mouse, donald duck, and goofy as peasants who discover temperamental willie the giant' s castle in the sky through the use of some magic beans .
mickey decides to sell the cow to feed them all, and goofy and donald dream of magnificent feasts they can purchase with the money they receive from the sale of the cow that night. however, when mickey returns, he reveals he traded the cow for a set of magic beans, which when planted beneath the light of a full moon are said to bring good fortune to the planters. donald, enraged at what he sees as a swindle and seeing he was not going to have anything to eat at that moment, grabs the beans and flings them across the floor, causing them to fall through a small hole in the floor. after the trio retires for the night, a great beanstalk sprouts from the hole as the full moon shines on it, and it grows at an exponential rate, lifting the trio high into the night sky and into a strange new place as they sleep .
at the end of the story, edgar bergen comforts a sobbing mortimer snerd, who was mourning for willie. just as bergen says that willie is a fictional character and not real, willie himself appears, alive and well, tearing the roof off bergen' s house. willie inquires about mickey' s whereabouts, but bergen faints in shock while mortimer tells willie goodnight. the scene closes with willie searching for mickey in hollywood, while placing the brown derby restaurant on his head like a hat .
during the 1940s, mickey and the beanstalk and bongo were originally going to be developed as two separate feature films .
although the two shorts were not made into individual full - length features, as was the original intention, they did air as individual episodes on walt disney' s anthology tv series in the 1950s and 1960s. mickey and the beanstalk, in particular, aired on a 1963 episode with new introductory segments, and ludwig von drake' s narration (voiced by paul frees) replacing edgar bergen (and the sassy comments of his ventriloquist dummy charlie mccarthy). another version of beanstalk from 1955 replaced bergen with narration by sterling holloway, which was used as a stand - alone short in such venues as the 1980s tv show, good morning, mickey! . a snippet of this short was also one of the many featured in donald duck' s 50th birthday .
in 1982, fun and fancy free was released in its entirety on vhs. it was re - released on vhs in 1997 and 2000. it was also released on laserdisc in 1997, and on dvd in 2000. in 2004, the theatrical version of mickey and the beanstalk was also released as a bonus feature on the walt disney treasures set mickey mouse in living color, volume two. the tv version, featuring ludwig von drake as the narrator, is available as part of the disney animation collection (volume 1) .
the two shorts were also released by themselves. bongo and mickey and the beanstalk were released separately 1987 and 1989 in the walt disney mini classics line. in this case, bongo is similar to the one that aired on the anthology series, in a 1955 episode, which uses jiminy cricket' s narration and singing replacing dinah shore' s. similarly, the ludwig von drake version of mickey and the beanstalk was the version released in the mini classics. this version was then re - released in 1993, as part of disney' s favorite stories collection .
the movie has released on blu - ray as part of a 2 - movie collection with the adventures of ichabod and mr. toad on august 12th, 2014 and includes the reluctant dragon. it is unknown, however, if fun and fancy free will also receive an individual blu - ray release like the adventures of ichabod and mr. toad .
the disney wiki has a collection of images and media related to fun and fancy free .
the only time that jiminy sings the theme song' s reprise is on the bongo segment released by itself. this happened on the anthology tv show and mini classics releases .
mickey' s humongous sneezes, both when he is sprayed with pepper when hiding in willie' s sandwich and when accidentally opening willie' s snuff box, as well as his nervous line of
gesundheit. heh .
were re - used from brave little tailor .
