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 )

Movies have been evaluated by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop's Office for Film and Broadcasting according to artistic merit and moral suitability. The reviews include the USCCB 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;
A-IV**
L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
O -- morally offensive.

** Discontinued classification. All archived movies that were originally in the A-IV category are now classified as L.
