Personally, I choose Ichabod and Mr. Toad because it proves that two great stories (and not just a mish mash of more than two) can work as a movie.

Another vote for Ichabod and Mr Toad for the same reasons mentioned above.

Without a doubt, Ichabod.
Still, the second half of Three Caballeros is about as close as you can get to getting high without breaking the law.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I used to love The Three Caballeros when I was a kid. I didn't know the whole sense behind the surrealism during the second half but I didn't care. I liked it then and I like it now. Also, I forgot that Fun and Fancy Free also has two stories but their not as good as Ichabod and Mr. Toad.

I chose "Melody Time" if only for the absolutely brilliant "Pecos Bill" segment which is, IMHO, one of the all-time greatest shorts Disney ever produced!
Three Caballeros! I love the colours, music, animation and characters. I've always wished more animation had been done with José, Panchito and the Aracuan, ever since seeing this movie. My second pick would be Melody Time since I really enjoy most of the segments in this one, particularly Bumble Boogie, Blame it on the Samba and Pecos Bill. Ichabod and Mr Toad would actually be my third pick, the Sleepy Hollow segment is one of my favourites, but the Wind in the Willows one is not (it's still O.K though).
My least favourite would probably be "Fun and Fancy Free" nearly the whole thing is really dated and the "Bongo" section of the movie is lame with not a single element that hadn't been done better in another Disney cartoon. Better circus story – "Dumbo"; better cute boy and girl characters – Mickey and Minnie; better stupid bear character – Brer Bear; better songs – just about any other Disney film; better lame fantasy romance moment – "Bambi", better cute antics in the forest – take your pick. Ugh! Bongo sucks!
The live action parts of the "Mickey and the Beanstalk" section is, despite some hilarious lines, embarrassingly dated (I much prefer the improved Ludwig von Drake version). Also it's lame that a Mickey, Donald and Goofy cartoon relies so heavily on a narrator element anyway. The characters are strong enough not to need it.

What I find great about the live-action parts for "Mickey and the Beanstalk" is seeing Edgar Bergen's lips move while playing Charlie McCarthey.

I was originally going to start a thread for this question, but I figured asking here would be preferable...
Does anyone know where I can get uncut copies of Make Mine Music and Melody Time? Thanks. :)
