I just feel like doing this right now, since I'm bored at the moment. Just to warn you, this MAY be long! ;D
Ever since I was little, I've loved music, but I always thought that classical music was boring. For some reasons, it was slow, boring, and not exciting.
But then I stumbles onto a film that I REALLY recognized. I remember seeing a videotape of Fantasia in my grandpa's house and there was a really recognizable image on the box. It was Mickey Mouse in a Sorcerer's costume and I've always seen that costume on Mickey for how-many-times.
But I finally saw it when I was in the third grade. I was impressed, but I was bored on most parts. But at that time, I saw Fantasia 2000. It was much easier to understand, much perfect and uplifting music and such beautiful animation.
But it was until now that I can face the movie again and tell how I felt, and I finally saw it a few weeks ago. I fell DEEPLY in love with the film with the beatiful music of Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Rite of Spring, Sorcerer's Apprentice, Nutcracker Suite, The Pastoral Symphony, and The Night on Bald Mountain.
What really amazed me was that they didn't have the technology in the 40's that we have today, but all the animators managed to do the whole film. Before there were computors to color, there was celluloid sheets and paint and the Multiplane Camera, which will explain here:
And they still managed to put every piece of animation together to make a truly marvelous masterpiece!
But... it wasn't a big success when it was released...
This was Walt Disney's personal feeling for classical music and animation put together, making you see the music and feel the animation. But... sadly, the film wasn't a big success. People thought it was too long.(the film went for about more than 100 minutes) Others thought that Walt Disney ruined classical music because of the dancing hippos.
But, I believe that even all those people didn't see the true beauty in this film, there are still people that love and treasure this film...
I will show my favorite ones! ;D
Here's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, with abstract images animated. Notice how fluid the animation is and how it completely matches the music.
Then there's the Nutcracker Suite.
Firebird Suite. Absolutely my favorite out of all the animated sequences combined! The Spring Sprite is my favorite female Disney character, princess or not! ;D
That's what I got so far. I hope that you listened. Please reply. Me iz lonely.

), but I do remember seeing Fantasia 2000, saw it when it was in theaters, seeing the vid on the Firebird, yep, I remember that...the first Fantasia vid, I always wondered what that song was called but my first thought when it started was "Watch out, it's Dracula!" I think that piece of music may have been used in horror films or something like that...have you tried listening to Danny Elfman's stuff, he does alot of music for movie soundtracks including alot of Tim Burton's films, he's got some pretty good instrumentals as well.
