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....
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!
[longer introduction to "The Rite of Spring"]
Deems Taylor: When Igor Stravinsky wrote his ballet, "The Rite of Spring"...
[a chime sound is heard; somebody has knocked over a set of tubular bells]
Deems Taylor: I repeat, when Igor Stravinsky wrote his ballet, "The Rite of Spring" his purpose was, in his own words, "to express primitive life." And so Walt Disney and his fellow artists have taken him at his word. Instead of presenting the ballet in its original form as a simple series of tribal dances, they have visualized it as a pageant as the story of the growth of life on Earth. And that story, as you're going to see it, isn't the product of anybody's imagination. It's a coldly accurate reproduction of what science thinks went on during the first few billion years of this planet's existence. Science, not art, wrote the scenario of this picture. According to science, the first living things here were single-celled organisms, tiny little white or green blobs of nothing in particular that lived under the water. And then, as the ages passed, the oceans began to swarm with all kinds of marine creatures. Finally, after about a billion years, certain fish, more ambitious than the rest, crawled up on land and became the first amphibians. And then several hundred million years ago, nature went off on another task and produced the dinosaurs. Now, the name "dinosaur" comes from two Greek words meaning "terrible lizard", and they were certainly that. They came in all shapes and sizes, from little crawling horrors about the size of a chicken to hundred-ton nightmares. They were not very bright. Even the biggest of them had only the brain of a pigeon. They lived in the air and the water as well as on land. As a rule, they were vegetarians, rather amiable and easy to get along with. However, there were bullies and gangsters among them. The worst of the lot, a brute named Tyrannosaurus Rex was probably the meanest killer that ever roamed the earth. The dinosaurs were lords of creation for about 200 million years. And then... well, we don't exactly know what happened. Some scientists think that great droughts and earthquakes turned the whole world into a gigantic dustbowl. In any case, the dinosaurs were wiped out. That is where our story ends. Where it begins is at a time infinitely far back when there was no life at all on earth, nothing but clouds of steam, boiling seas and exploding volcanoes. So now imagine yourselves out in space billions and billions of years ago looking down on this lonely, tormented little planet spinning through an empty sea of nothingness.
