Most of the violent things in this world come from the ignorant class. For example, when I was in a rural elementary school ten years ago, I neither knew music nor cared about the structure of the story. Give me the smallest person I can enjoy. In that era of illiteracy, Compared to Disney's strange symphonic stories with no lines, I prefer slimy girl magazines. Don't blame me, this is the general prejudice of the illiterate against the classics. Ten years have passed. I have read some classics...

This is a unique film from Disney. It is a perfect combination of symphony and animated short film. The imagination, pictures, and music all fit in just right.
Its eight paragraphs correspond to eight different famous songs.
1. "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" gradually transformed from the opening symphony band performance into abstract animation. (John Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor)
2. "The Nutcracker Suite" tells about mushrooms, elves and flowers dancing with the seasons....

Not suitable for me as a music obsessed
I didn’t understand music for the first 5 minutes, and I was really suffering. I couldn’t hear anything. After listening to it, my heart was still heavy. I got a little better later, but it still gave me a feeling of oppression. The color picture didn't appear until the 9th minute, and the title was too depressing. The music in the 12th minute is too familiar and can often be heard. Today, I can understand the style of the source. It turned out to be the bgm who played the elves. The 20th...

#One Animation per Day# Day 54
The masterpiece of music + animation is a legendary work with rich colors in the history of animation. Whether it is for Disney or Hollywood, this work has a very important position. It is conceivable that in the animation school, this work must be like "Citizen Kane" in the film school, and you can intercept a fragment at any time and anywhere for in-depth interpretation and learning. When I was in school, my favorite was the experimental film course....

Re-watch "Fantasia" and "Fantasia 2000" for the interview. I was amazed by the imagination of the artists back then.
Can music be narrative? After reading the "Little Wizard", the answer seems to be there. To a certain extent, music can assume the function of narration, and Dukas wrote and completed the composition based on the fairy tale "The Magician's Apprentice" when he wrote this song. Moreover, after being repackaged by visual images, the music seems to have really come to...

Gorgeous. Except the image of the centaurs is too disgusting....
[longer introduction to "Night On Bald Mountain" and "Ave Maria"; last spoken lines]
Deems Taylor: The last number on our Fantasia program is a combination of two pieces of music so utterly different in construction and mood that they set each other off perfectly. The first is "A Night On Bald Mountain" by one of Russia's greatest composers, Modest Mussorgsky. The second is Franz Schubert's world-famous "Ave Maria". Musically and dramatically, we have here a picture of the struggle between the profane and the sacred. "Bald Mountain", according to tradition, is the gathering place of Satan and his followers. Here, on Walpurgnisnacht, which is the equivalent of our own Halloween, the creatures of evil gather to worship their master. Under his spell, they dance furiously until the coming of dawn and the sounds of church bells send the infernal army slinking back into their abodes of darkness. And then we hear the "Ave Maria", with its message of the triumph of hope and life over the powers of despair and death.
Deems Taylor: [introducing the soundtrack] Before we get into the second half of the program, I'd like to introduce somebody to you. Somebody who's very important to Fantasia. He's very shy and very retiring. I just happened to run across him one day at the Disney Studios. But when I did, I realized that here was not only an indispensable member of the organization, but a screen personality whose possibilities nobody around the place had ever noticed. And so, I'm very happy to have this opportunity to introduce to you - the soundtrack.
Mickey Mouse: [Pulling on Stokowski's coat] Mr. Stokowski! Mr. Stokowski!
[Mickey whistles to get Stokowski's attention]
Mickey Mouse: My congratulations, sir!
Leopold Stokowski: [shaking hands with Mickey] Congratulations to you, Mickey!
Mickey Mouse: Gee, thanks! Hehe! Well, so long! I'll be seeing ya!
Leopold Stokowski: Goodbye!
