Was Melody Time and The Strongest Man in the World both released by Disney?
Melody Time Melody Time (working title All in Fun) is a 1948 American live-action animated film and the 10th theatrically released animated feature produced by Walt Disney. It was released to theatres by RKO Radio Pictures on May 27, 1948. Made up of several sequences set to popular music and folk music, the film is, like "Make Mine Music" before it, the popular music version of "Fantasia" (an ambitious film that proved to be a commercial disappointment upon its original theatrical release). "Melody Time", while not meeting the artistic accomplishments of "Fantasia", was mildly successful. It is the fifth Disney package film following "Saludos Amigos", "The Three Caballeros", "Make Mine Music", and "Fun and Fancy Free".
Mr. Piano Man, Please! "Mr. Piano Man, Please" is a ragtime style song written for former Disney Mouseketeer, Annette Funicello by songwriters, Bob and Dick Sherman for the Golden Horseshoe Revue. This song follows in a long line of popular songs written by the Sherman Brothers for Annette. Other "top ten" songs include "Tall Paul" and "Pineapple Princess". As Annette went on to make films for other film companies besides Disney, the Sherman Brothers continued to work for the family friendly conglomerate eventually winning two Oscars for "Mary Poppins" in 1965.
