Fantasia is one of the most beautiful Disney movies ever, but not a lot give attention to its adaptation of Igor Stravinsky’s "The Rite of Spring." I love it so much, how it shows a strange but homely world long ago slowly evolving, and there are lots of dinosaurs that are outdated, but beautifully reconstructed for their time. One of the things that brought me into palaeontology is just how interesting it would be sighting our Earth millions of years ago, so weird and unfamiliar, almost alien, I miss it so much, but it lives on here. It’s like as if the legendary palaeoartist Charles R. Knight went animating. I greatly recommend it a watch, and the music the sequence is adapted from beautifully fits. I love watching it on cozy winter nights, like right now.
