Music Land is one of the Disney “Silly Symphony” animated cartoon shorts. The Princess of the Land of Symphony (a violin) and the Prince of the Isle of Jazz (a saxophone) fall in love, much to the disapproval of their parents. A war ensues. Peace is achieved through the wedding of the Queen of Symphony (a viola) and the King of Jazz (an alto saxophone) on the Bridge of Harmony. The story is told in music. There is no dialog. This is fun and shows Disney’s build up to what would take flower in Fantasia.
