I am 63 years old. I have been watching cartoons and animated films all my life. There is nothing, absolutely nothing that comes close to this flawless artwork. Disney once told his animators: " we're not making cartoons, we're making art." He surely succeeded. What a visionary genius.
The part at the end when they're skating across the ice and leaving frost trails always gives me the shivers. It's one of those *perfect* moments in animation that I never get tired of seeing .
Fuzzyscarfandmittens - So glad someone else feels the same way about that part. When the skater is first spinning, then starts running across the ice and that marvelous section of the music plays - pure magic !
The Anthropologist _Forensic I think Disney have done well to be where they are since Walt himself passed away. It’s true that they are producing less imaginative pieces now but that’s what makes this such a masterpiece. It’s almost better that they aren’t making things like this now, because this is all the more precious.
I recently learned from the book "Queens of Animation" that this sequence was largely written, animated, and the effects done by women! Because the men thought it was too childish to animate fairies... what a wonderful experience that must have been for this mostly female team on a movie that came out in 1940!
This really is the peak of animation for Walt Disney. Everyone from the animators, painters, effects artists, put all of their skill and talent into Fantasia, and made some of the best work that the studio has ever done. This scene was always a personal highlight for me.
Fellow guy here. There's nothing shameful or emasculating about what you said, brother. Be proud of your emotions and embrace them. Suppressing them is what kills us and keeps our suicide rate high.
I have only ever watched this scene once as a child but it was burned into my memories so much so that I still remember bits and pieces of it from time to time, even though it's been 20 years. It took me a while but I'm blessed to have found this again after so many years.
Happened to me today. I think of parts of it every fall and winter and finally found it. Made me cry like it did back as a kid now as a full grown adult. There’s something really magical about it
@@FireMewMew no need to worry. Even frozen fans agree after that disappointing failure of frozen 2. (It not only was bad but it highlighted all the flaws and how bad the first movie is)
@@kh3612 but also contains racism ( that was normal for 1940, obviously) search now "fantasia deleted scenes, or "fantasia racism scenes" (just for informations) fantasia is a good animations but some scenes are unfortunately not much educatives for kids now😞
@@thewitch4987 I'm tired of everything bring edited and sanitized for political correctness. Yes, racist material made in the past is unfortunate. Perhaps it would be better to label "offensive" material for those who are overly sensitive instead of hacking away at things that were done years ago. I can't stand to watch a Mel Brooks movie that has been edited or bleeped. Mel picked on everyone, especially Jewish people, like himself. People need to realize these things aren't "bad", they're just from a different time. Back to Fantasia 1940, think about the technical aspects of the film alone. Every single frame hand-drawn and hand-colored; and it was made 81 years ago. 81 years!
This movie is art. This movie is sublime. There is no other movie like Fantasia. This segment is unfathomably beautiful, as well as every other segment in the film. The fact that this came out in 1940 still blows my mind, and I just adore every single frame of this timeless masterpiece!
This song fluttered through my head this evening. It took me little while to find, but I absolutely had to listen to it again. My love of fantasia, its music and animation has never faded. But seeing it fresh after many years did touch a special place in my heart. I miss you so much Walt Disney. I think I speak for all when I say I'd give anything to see just one more animated film.
One of my favourite parts of Fantasia, is so calming, peaceful, is that the sound you hear when you goes to the Heaven? 😩💕You can feel your mind turn off by any single bad thing you thinking, is like teleported yourself into another dimension 💕✨💕the icy fairies part is my favourite, is so smoothly and perfect😩💨
I was born in the 70s; and since a saw this film at the theatre when I was a child, I knew that I will love two things in my life: drawing and music. Nowadays I still do it!
This art style by Disney was ablosuletely incredible! Hearing this in a cold night of December makes the feel better. Hoping in a return of this kind of design from the classic with modern styles!
This feels like a fever dream 😄... I have vague memory of this as I saw this when I was a kid as part of the Disney Christmas ... Sad that such emotional thing won't be made now.
The magic in the deep forest comes alive with Walt Disney and Leopold's music score. A great nostalgia Walt Disney's magic shown years ago in our Malaysia's TV. Thks for sharing!!!
This whole part,, always left an impact on me, even seeing the ballet live I thought, oh this is the ice skating fairy song or oh this is the pretty fish song,,, it just has a way of sticking with you...
I cry at the whole movie, the graphics and the music are just so beautifully in sync. Disney doesn't make good stuff like this anymore. It's all Hannah Montanna and shit like that for pre-pubescent teens.
@@jugular911 Oh yeah the whole movie is great, don't get me wrong. As far as your sentiment that Disney doesn't make good stuff anymore, I don't know if I fully agree with that, sure it doesn't quite have the same charm as some of the original stuff, but I think they are still capable of good movies.
@@benberlin57 I think they are but there is something about traditional animation ( 2D ) that I do think has gotten lost in the new era. Great messages and themes in their works still.
@@neiloswald2208 hope you and yours had a happy Thanksgiving and will have a wonderful holiday season, as to amazing animation I have come across several beautiful animations made by small groups of fans some I dare say are at least the equivalent to stuff made by large companies like Pixar or Disney. If you are interested I'll be more than happy to share some links.
4:11-4:15 Leopold Stokowski's darkened conducting posture, as well his recording of the soundtrack of this film makes it my top favorite film of all time!!!
When the music and the image come together, magic happens. I remember having resisted until the end when I saw her with my parents and my brother. Fantasia is a marathon of sounds and emotions. Cuando la música y la imagen se reúnen, la magia acontece. Recuerdo haber resistido hasta el final cuando la vi con mis padres y mi hermano. Fantasía es una maratón de sonidos y emociones.
This scene is my absolute FAVOURITE. I wish Disney would go back to this stunning presentation because I adore everything about Fantasia. This was back when effort was put into every creation and they spoke so eloquently and performed with incredible talent. 💗
Mi primer encuentro con está musica maravillosa , fue cuando mi papá , me llevo al cine y vi la pelicula " Fantasía " de Walt Disney.Nunca lo olvide ...gracias papá . 2018
finally found this one been looking for this animation for months now remember it clraly from my chldhood on a local disney xmas special we had had it on vhs recorderd but lost it many years ago so happy to find it again
My grandad told me that once over Germany in the winter of 1943 the wireless operator on his lancaster bomber picked this beautiful song up and they ran up on Berlin listening to it until they had to start the bombing run . He said that it turned the experience from terror to wonderment.
Classical music such a beauty Yes Pop music is not as great at Classical musics history with so much effort, work and incredible design! Why I hope this video gets 1B views and never gets taken down.
A kid in the theater called them"Tinkerbells!" Tinkerbell is more like a pixie, isn't she? These are nature spirits. A real-life boy who lived in the 1890s saw real water, fire, and cloud spirits,he said so in his diary; it was published in a book titled "The Boy Who Saw True" - has a photo of him on the cover, but it never reveals his name; he died in the 1950s ...
Picture this. From 1:26 and onwards, it's a beautiful day of blue sky and sunshine in springtime, you are waltzing around the gardens of a grand old manor out in the English countryside when little songbirds, bunny rabbits and other small animals suddenly arrive on the scene and begin to flitter, hop and dance in circles around you, almost as if appearing to waltz right along with you and the incomparably dreamy and euphoric feeling of being on cloud nine you are experiencing in the moment that would sadly end once the music ceases to play 🙂❤️💫
1996/1997 My childood: I still remember each afternoon: my sister & I, "FANTASIA" vhs and mum prepared us our afternoon snack with cappuccino and chocolate cereals😢 thank you "Disney" each cartoon save for me a memory of my loved childhood❤

one of the reasons I got into botany, I saw this when I was 5 probably.
I remember gathering milk weeds along railroad track with my grandmother
Same here🖤
Must have not watched a lot of cartoons then
❤❤❤

Can i talk with you in face book please ?

Telling my kids this is what Disney is supposed to be and always will be for me. The modern creations are corporations only.
Can’t blame you

Vivir don't forget the musicians bro
I probably haven't seen this in over two decades, but I still remember it clear as day. What a wonderful way to be introduced to Tchaikovsky!
I am a guy and I almost always am ( ) that close to tears at the end from the sheer beauty of this piece of animation/music.

Tchaikovsky + Disney = Perfection ♥
You said it.
I agree
How old are you?
One of the greatest animated movies of all time. The art of animation in all its finesse. A far more great animated movie than Frozen.
Be careful, don’t let extreme Frozen fans come after ya
@@FireMewMew no need to worry. Even frozen fans agree after that disappointing failure of frozen 2. (It not only was bad but it highlighted all the flaws and how bad the first movie is)
This was always my favorite of the songs/parts of the Fantasia movies-ever since I was little.
Mine too, gets me everytime. And 1st saw this in my 20s ❤.
Mine, too. Everyone should see Fantasia 1940. All hand-drawn animation with the most enchanting music!

Fall and winter are my favorite seasons and this is absolutely stunning: love that skating scene and the snowflakes! This is genius,pure and simple.
I love the part when the autumn fairies make the two leaves dance. I also like when the fairies are skating on the ice.

Siempre que veo la escena del patinaje sobre hielo no puedo contener las lágrimas, simplemente es demasiado hermoso 😿💙

Absolutely wonderful, thank you. This should be shared with both young & old ❤
2:07 that change in the vibe in both the music by Txaikovsky and the animation always gets me
Fantasia is the Ceiling of the Sistine chapel of Animated Feature Films
YES.
First time Disney let women direct something in his company, they did such a wonderful job.
Nice. There does seem to be a very feminine touch to this animation. Those women did a wonderful job
this is one of the best things ever made
2:07 - 2:39
Favorite part

Riku destroying Dream Eaters in the classiest way possible to this music❤
I Love IT. The best Scene in the Movie 🎉❤
This Reminds Me Of Joy To The World, They Used That Scene For Disney's Very Merry Christmas Songs.
Oh my gosh I've been looking for this for 20 years. Thank you so much
Watched this in my old school, came back to relieve memories :( This is so nostalgic for some reasons..
Mi primer encuentro con está musica maravillosa , fue cuando mi papá , me llevo al cine y vi la pelicula " Fantasía " de Walt Disney.Nunca lo olvide ...gracias papá .
2018
Sounds so good with earphones 😍
It goes round and round my earphones like I’m rotating around the orchestra!
A nice and white winters day. Snow is falling softly and nothing but snow covering everything as far as the eyes can see
finally found this one been looking for this animation for months now remember it clraly from my chldhood on a local disney xmas special we had had it on vhs recorderd but lost it many years ago so happy to find it again
This is what animation was invented for!😮
Those Russians have a lot skills, love this suite!
I was 6 or 7 when my parents brought me to see this. It instilled in me the love of classical music. This part was always my favorite.
Com amor e imaginação extra! 👏👏👏
Es el dibujo animado más hermoso de todos los tiempos.
This never fails to move me.
Thank you beautiful song congratulations five stars👏👏👏
A composed cartoon/movie.
So Beautiful 🌹❤️😍😘😍💋😘💓😊👌👍

Fantasia The Best.. . the whole movie is good..
Classical music and mescaline go very well together
So pretty 😭
Gosh how I’d love to see professional ice skaters perform to this, it would be magnificent
This sequence and the centaurs were always my favorite growing up!
marty thedisneylover me too!!
my favorite part is from 3:00 - 3:35 So wonderful. I imagine that scene every time I see water freezing :'3
Απλά υπέροχη μουσική 👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌺🌺🌺🌺🌷🌷🌷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀
This is such a part of my childhood ❤ (38yrs old)
More like "Waltz of the Leaves"
Marzuca
Merveilleux !
Je trouve que la musique est la plus grande des magies.
the orange ones are pretty
wow
Thank you so much for posting this!!
This animation and music always reminded me of Christmas time.
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐑𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 well, it is from The Nutcracker, which is a Christmas ballet
From 2:08 to 2:40 I die a most wonderful death. So sorrowful I love it.
That’s my favourite part of the music 🥰 I always want to hear that part on repeat!
This part is played by the violas!
Zauberhaft!!
The whole segment did "The Nutcracker" justice more than the horrible "Four Relems" did.
Ironically, this version has no nutcracker in it!
Just in time for the holiday season. Merry Early Christmas.
Flawless animation!
Cuantos recuerdos, me trae esta película. Fui con mí mamá, a verla al cine "Los Angeles ".
¡ ES MARAVILLOSAAA!!!!! ¡ GRACIAS!!!!
Perfection!
meraviglioso..mi ricordala meraviglia di mia figlia quando piccola vide x la prima volta il cartone:)
