My favorite was the frost faires, the dancing hippos.... but then came Night on Bald mountain...
.... and i was transfixed !

To this day....it still puts me in awe and gives me chills.

And i never looked at mountain silhouette at sunset, the same ever again😏

@OogieBoogie yeah, all of the nutcracker suite is really well done, too.

@OogieBoogie

Bela Lugosi, famous for playing Dracula, modeled for Disney's Chernabog in Fantasia's "Night on Bald Mountain" segment, posing for live-action reference footage for the devilish character.

@NativePortlander1970 they'd show it at a movie theater - and he was a pro at navigating - as long as he had somebody going with him

@Pretzel lol, I bet to that was quite a ride

The fact that it's from 1940 is pretty wild

@DDonde Disney was a HUGE leap in creativity.

It was planned to be so much more. There was plans to eventually make more adult animations as well as childrens....but that never happened.

@OogieBoogie I haven't actually been a fan of Disney ever since they destroyed my baby, Star Wars.

And since then they've given me even more reason to despise them

Still, I do love lots of their old movies

Fantasia 1941 is very good, as well as Fantasia 2000
