Product Description

PERFECT HARMONY is a moving story in which boyhood friendship and love of music overcome racial prejudice. Set in South Carolina during the 1950s, two boys -- Taylor, the star of his prep school's renowned, all-white boys' choir, and Landy, an orphaned black teenager with a gift for the blues -- develop a friendship in spite of the racial barriers that divide the school and town. Starring Peter Scolari (NEWHART) as the academy's inspirational choirmaster, this impressive work features uplifting music and promises family entertainment at its finest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Disney, February 5, 2002
This review is from: Perfect Harmony [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie perfectly exemplifies what the Disney brand used to stand for before Michael Eisner started leading Disney into its present controversial direction: a quality family movie with a heartwarming, redemptive, and educational story; the kind of movie that families used to trust Disney to make consistently. The numerous excerpts of classical music, from Handel's "Messiah" to Haydn's "The Creation," are presented in a very entertaining and lighthearted manner. They are thus an excellent tool to teach younger children about this style of music in a way that's not stuffy or pretentious. My own early introduction to opera and classical music was through the vintage Bugs Bunny cartoons, like "Rabbit of Seville" and "What's Opera, Doc." This movie can serve much the same function for introducing children to oratorios and lieder. In the process, they will also receive a wonderful morality tale about looking beyond our outer differences to the person that's inside.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, March 1, 2005
I taped this movie off the Disney Channel when I was about 7. I watched it so many times that the tape wore out. A couple of years ago when I saw it was re-released I was thrilled. It is a really great family movie that teaches the importance of accepting other people's cultures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Disney movie!, July 29, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Perfect Harmony [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This title should be in the directory under the Disney and family genres. Currently, there is another video with the same title from 1995 listed that is actually a classical music video. This movie I highly recommend. Great Disney film.
