OPIERA HOUSE
The Walt Disney Festival, a quintette of brilliant Disney hits which screens at the Opera House to-day, demonstrates the number of hitparade numbers which the Disney productions introduced to song-loving ’America. The list is led by such favourites as “Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?” “Ferdinand,” “Some Day My Pnnce Will Come,” “Heigh Ho,” “Whistle While You Work,” “I'm Wishing,” and “One Song.” All but the first two numbers are from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” which heads the Festival. The first short is “Farmyard Symphony,” and the second “Mickey's Trailer,” making up a good Walt Disney programme. Music in Walt Disney’s pictures always serves to heighten action and oftentimes dialogue. In “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” the musicians were faced with the longest and most complicated assignment they ever had. Their efforts are rewarded by the continued popularity of the picture's song hits. In addition there are two Walt Disney short features and comedies.
