is Disney's masterpiece
';Fantasia'; was not Walt's
idea at all....
instead, it was the hallucinations
of an artist that was strung out
on the drug mescaline to keep him
working night and day
When Disney heard of this he
sat down with him and listened
to him go through a
';furious succession'; of visual
images ....
Walt was so impressed by his
colorful descriptions that he hired
him as chief ';visualist'; for what
would become
';FANTASIA';TRUE OR FALSE: Disney's classic ';Fantasia'; was not the vision of Disney himself, but of a drug addict ?
The answer is false. You would have to show me articles from at least two different sources before I would believe that any one person should take the credit or blame for ';Fantasia.'; The movie consists of several different segments which are somehow supposed to connect classical music and animation, and the segments are all written, animated, and directed by different people. ';The Sorcerer's Apprentice'' segment was later extracted from the movie and released as a regular cartoon short which was shown before movies and made more money for the Disney Studio than 'Fantasia' itself, because the real horrible secret behind ''Fantasia'' is that children don't like it because it has no central storyline and the classical music bores them. It was one of the few financial and critical failures that Disney Studios produced, and it lost so much money on its first release that it didn't see the light of a movie projector again almost twenty years, and didn't finally break even until it became available for sale as a video tape and, later, on DVD.TRUE OR FALSE: Disney's classic ';Fantasia'; was not the vision of Disney himself, but of a drug addict ?
