After falling asleep, he even dreamed of directing the waves and stars. Unexpectedly, he was awakened and found that he was submerged in the water. The result was a mess. .
7. Elgar: Pomp & Circumstance. It’s the story of "Noah’s Ark" in the Bible. This time Disney asked Donald Duck to play Noah. When the storm came, he drove a large number of animals on the ark. Later, he fought against the turbulent flood, and finally calmed down. The animals all board the deck of the ark, facing a bright future together.
8. Stravinsky: Firebird Suite. Whether it's the endless life of all things in nature, or firebirds flying and burning the entire sky, the changes in light and shadow presented in the film give the audience a visual shock and draw a gorgeous end to "Fantasia 2000".
