    Fantasia quotes

    • Deems Taylor: Now, look - will the soundtrack kindly produce a sound?

      Soundtrack: [it is silent]

      Deems Taylor: Go on, don't be nervous. Go ahead - any sound.

      Soundtrack: [blows a "raspberry", vibrating as it does so]

      Deems Taylor: [laughs] Well, that isn't *quite* what I had in mind.

    • Deems Taylor: [the soundtrack plays a minor scale on bassoon, ending on a very low note] Go on. Go on; drop the other shoe, will you?

      Soundtrack: [it sounds an even deeper note, obviously the lowest]
