ADVENTURES IN MUSIC: MELODY (1953) was Ward Kimball’s directorial debut at Disney. I think it’s a fairly uneven film, both visually and conceptually although there’s still a lot to appreciate in it and I always enjoy watching it. Below are some frames that I scanned in from a 35mm print of the film. They were originally intended for the book, but alas, a lack of space meant they had to be cut out. It actually worked out fine because now everybody can enjoy the stills in hi-res here on the blog. Click on each image to get a supersized version of each image.
Beautiful! Thank you Amid!

Great to see more still frames from this great short, Amid! I see that you posted the lookie-loo at Suzy Sparrow’s assets shot — very funny. Notice the signatures on the diploma? I see Ward’s, Vic’s, and some of the other filmmakers in there. And boy are these big images! Great stuff, man. Thanks for posting.
