Melody is an American animated short film produced by Walt Disney Productions and directed by Ward Kimball and Charles A. Nichols.
The next scene uses melody to illustrate the various stages of a person's life, beginning with "Rock-a-bye Baby" for birth, followed by "The Alphabet Song" for school; "Far Above Cayuga's Waters" for college; "Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes" for courtship, followed by "Here Comes the Bride (and there goes the groom)".
", "Happy Birthday to You", "Silver Threads Among the Gold", "The Old Gray Mare", "Auld Lang Syne" and "Oh, Dem Golden Slippers".
The first world showing of Melody in public was shown in two Los Angeles theaters on its release day, including the Paramount Theatre.
It was sung by the Disney Studio Chorus over a sequence showing animated birds chirping, crickets rubbing their legs together, and wind blowing through a willow tree.
