- Melody Time was directed by Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske and others, with music by Eliot Daniel, Paul J. Smith and Ken Darby; it features Roy Rogers, Dennis Day, The Andrews Sisters and Frances Langford, and runs 76 minutes.

- The songs in Melody Time were all "largely based around (then) contemporary music and musical performances".[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
