Comments

Released as part of the Disney feature "Make Mine Music"

From Ryan : This is my favorite segment of "Make Mine Music." I first saw it on the Disney Channel during Vault Disney about two years ago. I thought it was so funny. What's kind of strange is that all the hillbillies have beards, except for Henry Coy (who falls in love with Grace Martin). The two of them go to a square dance at the local schoolhouse and ride off in their car which reads: JUST MARRIED. Unfortunately, however, their marriage turns into a feud itself and "they carry on the feudin' just like before!" Isn't it a shame that this classic short was censored on the video and DVD release of "Make Mine Music?" I bet if it were aired on the Disney Channel again it would be censored as well.

From Ben Schumin : I'm so sad that "The Martins and the Coys" didn't make its way into the DVD version. Don't know why they cut it, but I have it on tape from a time it ran on the Disney Channel back in the 80's. Guess it's a victim of political correctness.

I have seen "The Martins and the Coys" and would like to
