5.0 out of 5 stars Peter and the Wolf, March 23, 2005

This review is from: Peter and The Wolf (Walt Disney Mini Classics) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a very old story, set to music by Prokofiev. It was adapted by Walt Disney as one of ten segments of the animated feature film, "Make Mine Music" in 1946. Narrated by Sterling Holloway (the voice of Pooh) it is the story of a young boy who goes with his pet cat Ivan, duck Sonia, and bird Sasha to catch the wolf. The music in this piece has always been a popular way to teach people the value of classical music, and how music can be expressive and tell a story. Each animal and person in the story is expressed by a musical instrument, such as Peter by a string quartet, Grandpa by the bassoon, and the hunters by kettledrums. The piece is hilarious and very well animated. It was edited into a short featurette for the first time in 1955.

5.0 out of 5 stars A much loved old classic., June 28, 2011

We brought our grandchildren to a Peter and the Wolf ballet and followed it up with this video. What a wonderful old classic! A nice introduction to musical instruments and classical music. I wish they would release it in DVD format.
