Disney Still Throwing Word 'Classic'
Around Like So Much Confetti
HOLLYWOOD, CA The Walt Disney
Company referred to an obscure,
unacclaimed 1944 film as a "classic" prior
to its home-video release Tuesday, once
again treating the word as tinsel which
may be draped arbitrarily upon any random
object. "No home-video library is complete
without the timeless Disney classic Mairzy
Doats," a TV commercial for the reissue
said. "These four unforgettable animated
vignettes, hosted by Mickey Rooney and
Judy Garland, are now available for a new
generation to treasureyou know, much
like previous generations have done." The
45-minute video joins such previous
Disney "classics" as Melody Time, Fun &
Fancy Free, Make Mine Music, and
Tarzan.
