- An episode of Mouseterpiece Theater from "The Disney Channel", found on an old VHS tape in a barn. The appear appears to have been broadcasted in 1995 between showings of "Puss & Boots" and "Five Mile Creek." The Short that is featured is Willie the Operatic Whale from "Make Mine Music."
It was captured using a Toshiba S-VCR Player. A Elgato Game Capture HD Device was used to transfer the information into a computer.
I remembered watching this a kid. Whatever I hear the theme song, I would know exactly what that is and stop everything to watch it.
True: Willie’s singing was a miracle. And people aren’t used to miracles. But don’t be too sad, because miracles never really die.
Yeah And So As Legends Never Die

I agree.
This show was a Disney parody of Masterpiece Theater, which was hosted by Alister Cooke. There was another of that show on Sesame Street known as Monsterpiece Theater hosted by Cookie Monster as Alister Cookie.
Ahh yes, I remember this coming on really early in the morning. I would sneak down while it was still dark and watch while everyone else was still asleep.
The end of the short is similar to the end of the Johnny Appleseed segment of Melody Time with the trees with apple blossoms becoming the clouds of heaven.
It’s s like the death of Bambi’s mother all over again.
Rest in peace, George Plimpton of Mouseterpiece Theatre on the old days of The Disney Channel.
Actually this person is still alive and is 81 years old.
Yeah George Plimpton He Was Good Man And He In a Mouseterpiece Theatre On Old Of The Disney Channel When He Was Alive So Rest In Peace
Sir George plimpton 🥹🙏✝️.
@@anniefinch6843 He died in 2003, at age 76. He would be 56 years old during the production.
Irvin Graham wrote this segment for Make Mine Music, although he didn’t have screen credit in the film. He was eventually credited when the segment was released as a separate short in 1954.
The actor who voiced and sang acting of Willie the Operatic Whale was by Nelson Eddy.
RIP Willie and Nelson Eddy.
Rest in heavenly peace, Willie the Operatic Whale.
The main director of this episode was the same guy who created this television show for Playhouse Disney on The Disney Channel in the late 1990s entitled Bear In The Big, Blue House.
I like the bit of the animation of the seagull forming the numbers two and three with his wings to the sailors.
Willie the Operatic Whale was used often on Disney Channel’s Quack Attack.
Disney animated whales like Willie the Operatic Whale and Monstro the Whale in Pinocchio are unique animated animals.
Another Disney cartoon I would recommend to this host is Ben and Me because it teaches about history. But as for this story I think it's a tragedy. That means it's sad.
I’ve noticed that Willie the Operatic Whale has made the cover of Life, Look and Time magazines in his fantasy.
yes i know
I loved Mouseterpiece Theater as a kid
Me too.
Same here! Quality Disney animation.
Definitely
This segment was the bittersweet finale of Make Mine Music from 1946.
I remember this cartoon from Make Mine Music. But it was on both The Mouse Factory and Walt Disney Presents. As a matter of fact, a couple of cartoons to deal with this program are Three for Breakfast a Donald Duck cartoon with Chip and Dale and The Whalers a Mickey Mouse cartoon. Both cartoons aren't on Disney plus. But they are perfect for the host.
But they need to be on Disney+
Peter and the Wolf of Make Mine Music from Disney was the longest segment of the entire film from 1946 and was narrated by former recurring Disney voice actor Sterling Holloway, who lived from 1905-1992.
Clips from Willie the Operatic Whale, Pinocchio and the Mickey Mouse cartoon The Whalers were used in a music video on DTV of The Disney Channel in the 1980s entitled Belly of a Whale.
Poor Willie, gone forever. 😢
I know 😢! But he's still in Heaven alive!
Did you know that Make Mine Music has never been reissued to movie theaters after its release in 1946 or released in its entirety on video and DVD in the United States of America until in the new millennium year 2000 in slightly edited form?
If I had three tape recorders, I can record myself singing in those three different singing ranges like Nelson Eddy did for the singing ranges for Willie the operatic whale.
Question: can you please upload more episodes of Mouseterpiece Theatre from the old days of The Disney Channel?
I really love the transition of Willie the Operatic Whale from singing opera in the ocean to singing opera on the very stage of the Met.
Me too.
Funny but very clever.
The message at 18:32 and the copyright at the very end should indicate that this was one of the earliest Disney Channel series.
The front page of the newspaper at the beginning of this segment said Seaman sightsees singing sea monster, but whales are not sea monsters or monstrous fish at all, they are aquatic mammals that live in the ocean.
I remembered another cartoon that George Plimpton didn't mention. But someday he should mention the cartoon on Mouseterpiece Theater. And the name of the cartoon is Trick or Treat. It's a great Donald Duck cartoon and it's also on Disney plus.
here al the numbers out the movie:

Willie the Operatic Whale appears on a poster in the queue line of Mickey’s PhilharMagic at the various Disney theme parks throughout the world, although he does not appear in person in full CGI animation at all in the 3D film itself with 4D effects in the theater.
I knew that.
I remember some of these Disney cartoons. But I remembered that this person's voice is heard on the final CD of Charlotte's Web.
Willie the Operatic Whale was the only Disney animated character to make the cover of Life, Look and Time magazines, other than Woody in Toy Story 2, who has made the cover of Life, TV and Time magazines.
Fun fact: On the December 29th, 1941 issue of Time magazine, Dumbo was to grace the front cover as "Mammal of the Year". However, because of the USA joining in WWII, the editors replaced Dumbo with General Douglas MacArthur (and rightly so).
Dumbo did however, still have a 1,400 word article about him included in the issue.
The aria Willie the Operatic Whale sang at the end was from the opera entitled Martha.
Imagine if I had three uvula like Willie the Operatic Whale has in this cartoon sequence from Make Mine Music from Disney, I can sing opera in all three separate vocal ranges like him in the cartoon.
As a matter of fact, I remembered that this program was on Walt Disney presents and The Mouse Factory.
about this movie is my childwood
i like OPERA THANK YOU WALLY 😢
Well, what do you expect in an opera? A happy ending?-Bugs Bunny
I have to report that Make Mine Music and Melody Time from Disney are not on iTunes yet.
But they will be on iTunes.
Four former Disney animators animated the character of Willie the Operatic Whale in Make Mine Music. Can you guess who they are in the movie?
10:13 Tenor, baritone, and bass. Wide range.
Caterpiece theater starring Garfield presents Lab animal
my all time favorite animated cartoon - a series with WIlly the Operatic Whale would be boss!
You know, singing opera on stage is very heavy and demanding on the voice.
we should be singing opera to whales and they will sing back as will the coyotes and other beasts
uVUlas? Don't you mean Uvulae?
How about uploading episodes of Disney Channel’s Movie Surfers on TH-cam?
I watch the whale wars show. And think of willie.
I remembered that Make Mine Music isn't on Disney plus.
But it still needs to be on Disney+.
Yeah Me Too I Watched Make Mine Music On Vhs And Needs To Be On Disney+Too.
@@MadisonHernandez-xd7jz I agree.
They could just release the make mine music segments as short films.
@@TwilightLink77No, only one feature-length longer movie.
Tell me this: was Johnnie Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet on Mouseterpiece Theater on The Disney Channel once?
14:50😱
Willie the Operatic Whale doesn’t appear in Who Framed Roger Rabbit at all in animation.
Because "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" takes place in 1947.
Willie was already dead by 1946.
10:37 serves the b*stard right 😂
14:15
I think this episode should be remastered for better picture quality on TH-cam.
There is one more thing to do I am making a project of a novel called "Ethan: The Elephant who sang Opera". The film's storyline, and synopsis was a bit similar to Disney's "The Whale who wanted to sing at the Met", but different.
This story is about a singing elephant named Ethan who was born with three uvulas -- Unlike Willie, who swallowed not one, but three opera singers -- which can sing all at once. Ethan's dream is to be an opera singer who will be singing in an opera theatre. However, in the beginning of the story, Ethan was singing to his animal friends in a forest.
I'm running out of ideas since I'm completing the storyline which I was brainstorming with. I need your help by making the whole storyline in chronological order. Please make sure that don't make the storyline look a bit similar to "The Whale who wanted to sing at the Met" or it will be a rip-off or a plagiarism to the film. Please make sure that it needs to be more original. It needs to be inspired and might be a sequel or a remake/reboot of the film. The work needs to be modified. I also need your help that you should add more characters in the work. It needs to include a teenage girl and other characters in the story.
I also made a sister company for my story which is my company of "Nekogi Entertainment" (which is named after my TH-cam channel) called "Project Opera Pathetique" which is named after the title of Willie the Operatic Whale/The Whale who wanted to sing at the Met.
If you have many questions, issues, or need help. Let me know in the replies Thank you!
Too bad Disney didn’t add Willie the Operatic Whale on the virtual portholes in the inside state rooms of the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy ships on the Disney Cruise Line fleet.
No, it's a good and okay thing.
THEY KILLED POOR WILLIE😢
OH TETTI-TATTI HOW COULD YOU😔YOU OPERA WHALE MURDERER!
No, it's HE KILLED POOR WILLIE!
The main reason why Make Mine Music is not available on Disney+ is because of The Martins and the Coys being way too violent with comic gunfights and brief nudity in All The Cats Join In and the Shortnin Bread song in The Whale Who Wanted To Sing At The Met being too racist.
Nope. It still needs to be on Disney+.
Grew up on this 😢
So You Grew On This huh?
Me too.
@@MadisonHernandez-xd7jz Yep!
