Walt Disney listened to "The Rite of Spring", and in his mind's eye, saw the creation of the earth, the beginnings of life, and the birth and death of the dinosaurs.

Watch what his incredible imagination put together in "Fantasia".

***Watch what his incredible imagination put together in “Fantasia”. ***

I saw Fantasia in 1971. I’ll never forget the reaction of a family behind me.

Half way through the movie the woman said...”This is TERRIBLE! I hope they at least show a cartoon!” A little later I noticed they had walked out.

Fantasia was a great disappointment to the movie goers. There were too many expressions of difficult-to-absorb thinking. Not forewarned, movie goers had expected another Disney “classic.”

Anyone that likes “Fantasia” ought to love “Allegro Non Troppo” an Italian parody of Fantasia. It has great animations set to beautiful music. I highly recommend it.

My favorite segment is Ravel’s “Bolero”, a visual masterpiece, the film’s counterpart to “The Rite of Spring”. It represents a funny take on the origins of life and evolution.
