The spring breeze by the pillow is blowing the truth to the ears

The Majestic March Rhapsody series uses classical music as the starting point of the animation narrative and emotion. It is very skillful to write the rhythm of the plot development in the rhythm of the music, and at the same time assume the responsibility of the theme. At this point, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is indeed unsurpassed. But Disney’s most attractive to me is not the story, but the philosophical thinking of the universe expressed by simple natural creatures, one flower, one world, and guarding the laws of the world as small as a glass bead under the magnificent narrative of classical music. The "Firebird Suite", which symbolizes the ebb and flow of life and the changes of the four seasons, has undoubtedly done it, and the "Roman Pine", which symbolizes family affection and growth, and the pursuit of the other shore, is not bad. A huge school of whales shuttles gracefully among the clouds, their body is as light and free as the floating dandelions, and the icy blue sea water rushes through the highest peak of the iceberg wrapped in the icy blue water, leaving the eye-catching white lonely in the night sky; like broken The goddess, who was curled up on the ground like a plaster, tremblingly touched the antlers lowered to her, tears gave birth to clusters of new buds on the ground. After her rebirth, she rushed to the mountain with vitality...I saw all this. It is spiritual, clean and pure, without the slightest adult world self-interest or utilitarian fantasies deliberately seeking liberation. Instead, it uses the most ignorant children to mirror the sky and clouds of all things in the world. After reading it, I feel like swimming in a clear spring without swimming goggles in summer. In contrast, although "Animal Carnival" also starts from a kind of animal, it is too concrete. The play between flamingos is interesting but unpretentious, and its relationship with the outside world is missing. The concise and flexible natural beauty adds value to the joy of humorous crowds. Using the interaction between flamingos as a megaphone, what you hear is the sound of gongs and drums of interaction between people. "Piano Concerto No. 2", "Rhapsody in Blue" and "Awe-inspiring March" are all more storytelling, so they will be told together. The first song is in line with Disney’s usual style and is very closely related to music, but the story is a bit old-fashioned, following the story of the Nutcracker, and does not bring forth the new; the second song, the focus is on the United States during the Great Depression, privately thought The social criticality is too strong, and the philosophical beauty is lacking, and the complaints and irony of adults are too strong; the third song is too strong, and the animation does not fit the music in many ways, and the love story of Donald Duck and Daisy The stories interspersed in Noah's Ark are not only clichés, they are also nondescript, the content is less than the form, and it is not "awe-inspiring" enough. "The Fifth Symphony" is beautiful, but the theme is too clear and lacks a subtle beauty that is not easy to ponder. Fortunately, the picture is simple and atmospheric. Only a personal point of view, may be picking the bones in the egg. What shocked me the most was 1 The Tchaikovsky piece in the 940 Rhapsody. The 19-minute experience is like an illusion, not at all boring, and the technology is not inferior to the 2000 version. Chai blowing ecstasy~

Fantasia 2000 quotes

  • Bette Middler: Hi. You may not know this, but over the years, the Disney artists have cooked up dozens of ideas for new Fantasia segments. Some of them made it to the big screen this time. But others, lots of others - how could I put this politely - didn't. For example, the Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen drew these sketches for a segment inspired by Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries." Here they are, and there they go. Now, Salvador Dali, you know, the "limp watches" guy, he got into the act with an idea that featured baseball as a metaphor for life. How come that didn't work? Makes perfect sense to me. Let's see. Then we had a bug ballet and a baby ballet and for a time, they even considered a sequence inspired by the Polka and the Fugue from Weinberger's "Schwanda the Bagpiper." But finally, a success. The Disney artists wanted to create a short film based on Hans Christian Andersen's wonderful fairy tale The Steadfast Tin Soldier, but they could never find the perfect musical match until now. Here is Yefim Bronfman playing the Shostakovich "Piano Concerto Number 2" and The Steadfast Tin Soldier.

  • Penn: [introducing "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"] Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to take a moment, if we may, to talk about a little something we like to refer to as magic.

    Teller: [finger quotes]

    Penn: Uh, picture this. You're at home, hosting a birthday party for your daughter, and you've just shelled out 50 bucks so some pathetic loser can pull a mangy rabbit out of a flea market hat. At first, you might wonder to yourself, "How did he do that?" But then *you* would probably just dismiss it as some sort of a trick. And you know something? You'd be right! It's just a trick! It's an example of what we laughingly refer to as "stage magic." We're here to tell you that all stage magic is a fraud, a hoax, a sham. It's all based on deception and, yep, *lyin'*! All of it. Sleight of hand...

    Teller: [pulling out cards]

    Penn: Lies! Transformations?

    Teller: [pulls out an axe]

    Penn: Fraud! Dismemberment?

    Teller: [cuts a fake hand]

    Penn: Rip-off! Fake! All are illusions. What we're here to talk about is real magic. We're gonna bring out a guy now who's the real deal, the genuine article. In fact, he taught us everything we know. And he is featured prominently in the next sequence from the original Fantasia, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." Y-You know, come to think of it, The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a - is, is a little guy who, uh - who never speaks and just kinda messes everything up...

    Teller: [cuts Penn's hair]

    Penn: [quietly] Like him. And now...

    Teller: [interrupts Penn]

    Penn: Wha - And now, the...

    Teller: [pulls out a rabbit]

    Penn: Oh. Hi. Hi, little fella. I gotta - I gotta - And now, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."
