Night on Bald Mountain and Rite of Spring both in Fantasia scared the living day light out of me at age five. This has to be seen in a movie theatre with super sound.
maximaldinotrap Wrong, dude. That’s a T-Rex. It only has three fingers because Walt thought it would be scarier (even though he knew Tyrannosaurus rex had two fingers on each hand)
@@reubencaldwell8494 While I do get why that would be considered more risky, blood and gore shouldn’t be the only thing that makes something scary. Because if that were the case, then Jeff the killer, sonic.exe, and a bunch of other generic creepy pastas, would be held as horror masterpieces. But hey, I won’t judge too much; if you think blood and gore makes something scary, that’s fine. You be you, I’m just pointing out that dark kids movies, or horror in general should rely more on concept and execution. Rather than the bare minimum.
This part actually traumatized me when I was seven years old. It's strange that THE LAND BEFORE TIME didn't (even though I was heartbroken Littlefoot's mom died).
The drought and all the animals dying of dehydration and exhaustion . . . that's a lot more like the End-Permian Extinction than the End-Cretaceous, which was a lot swifter and more violent.
@@KisekiTim is that when the theory was known? cause I think it is definitely more than likely that an asteroid impact cause their extinction, not a drought
The End-Cretaceous Extinction was swift in terms of Geologic Time, but it did not happen overnight. It took up to 32,000 years after the meteor impact for all non-avian dinosaurs to disappear from the fossil record.
32,000 years is a guess as it is actually not known how long the extinction period lasted for.. but yeah it didn’t happen over night, it happened but over a period of time in which organisms were effected by changes in breeding seasons, continents drifting and splitting, and changes in vegetation. It was a process, not a singular event.
Nightmares. Even though I like the music, that's what this scene gave me during childhood. Nightmares of dinosaurs, dehydration and survival. Thanks Didney Worl
*_And let's not forget that the ending was originally going to be intended to focus on early humans discovering the first ever fire and they dance happily. But if it wasn't for executive meddling, then Disney could've chosen that ending._*
Mr. Friendship that would fit the music better if they put it in. In the Rite of Spring did origins on pagan rituals including human sacrifice which in turn, Dinosaurs are essential sacrifice to the planet to make way for mammals leading to rise of humanity.
@@djmutt2000 no he means Disney didn’t go for the childish and goofy dinosaur designs. They were more accurate for the time at least and unlike Snow White and Pinocchio didn’t have a happy ending. The dinosaurs still died and through a harsh way and made the harsh way of survival
I don't know why, by the T-Rex still gives me fear chills and I get super anxiety during the extinction part. Fucking perfect work man. I love Rite of Spring.
@@amanogirl1plus trex was still being discovered in the time when fantasia was out and they didn't had any idea of how many fingers it had till later research
I noticed that. Also if im correct some of the scene was cut out. The scene where we see dinosuar bones along with the bass clarinet solo which would launch into danse sacral but in the case of fantasia doesnt
3:53 to 4:25, the music always has an emotional impact on me, I always think of weird things I’ve experienced in life and kind of imagine collapsing like that Tyrannosaurus rex.
That I didn’t know but I can imagine that adding particular characters to TLBT was what made the finishing touch. Also the stegosaurus death scene must have somewhat inspired the death of Littlefoot’s mother as both were fatally wounded by a T-Rex
Actually this was an Allosaurus. It’s got three claws on its arms opposed to the T-Rex, which was bigger than Allosaurus, lived later on, and had smaller arms with only two claws on each hand, but I get what you mean. They’re both theropods that preyed on sauropods.
Saddest part of the movie in my opinion, and perhaps even disney’s darkest moment, people always talk about chernabog in the night on bald mountain segment, but to me, this is more disturbing by far. First you get a brutal representation of how cruel nature is, wherein a trex kills and eats its prey. And then, they go a step further, and actually kill off ALL the dinosaurs. Millions of years of evolution, and an entire legacy, GONE, woth nothing but fossils left behind. and unlike chernabog, who for all his scariness does not exist, this actually happened! Granted, not exactly in the way fantasia depicts it, (there was a well known asteroid missing from this, though to be fair that proof was discovered decades after this was made) but still, it happened, and in the case of predator eating prey, still happens. With chernabog, yeah he was a jerk, but his subjects, we already dead, and he couldn’t rightly kill them again, so right off the bat this is more disturbing. And the worst part is, if we don’t fight climate change soon, that death march might be coming to us in the future too, only it will he humans, not dinosaurs, fighting to survive
maximaldinotrap actually, it is a tyrannosaurus. You see, way back when they made this film, it was believed that T. Rex had three fingers, but halfway through production it was discovered that he only had two. Still, Walt Disney himself decided that he liked how the beast looked with three instead of two. So it IS a tyrannosaurus, simply with a difference in design.
I'm still quite terrified of the use of horns during the Earthquake. Took me this long to really appreciate that they used the Dance of the Earth during the sequence though! Quite clever actually! But anyway yeah I'm still scared AF of the music during that part.
It is 1940 tough People didnt had any knowlege about dinosaurs then, like this trex having 3 fingers And from my theory i dont belive in periods in mesozoic era, meaning i dont belive in triassic, jurrasic and cretateous periods, i think some dinos evolved to be apex predators or succesfull herbivores till other carnivores, omnivores and herbivores evolved and old apexes go extinct. Same for cenozoic, some evolved to be apex animals till others evolved and took their place while old apexes go extinct, for humans its the same, in mammoth times, neandrethals were apex and smartest till homo sapiens came and took over, killing most animals
Lol I like how all the long necks feet are just stuck in mud while drinking at same time sad lol If i was a dinosaur being cost in this I would give up like now
Although the posture isn’t entirely correct- notice how the rex is not dragging its tail during the fight. The way it moves was actually far more modern than literally every other depiction at or around that time.
The imagery of all the dinos migrating at the same time, the same direction has struck me since childhood. The dinos appear to be in so few numbers and so desperate yet enlightened or maybe expressing a universal instinct. The apocalypse is often supernatural.
The guy who figured out how to perform this (and all the rehearsal numbers at 111) was Igor Markevitch. It's a hidden secret to this amazing score that nobody understands.
this grat artwork shows the ancient theory of dinosaurs extintion and the continent separation eurasia northamerica southamerica africa is curious the imagination
3:35 Ewoks wandering scorching desert of Endor after the Death Star II fragments come crashing down and in their emaciated state would fall over dead, making them an extinct species.
When I was a kid I thought the dinos in the mud were intentionally there trying to cool off. Rewatching that scene now I'm pretty positive it's actually like tar or quicksand and there stuck....oof 😅
Despite out scientifically outdated this is, it is still beautiful. I especially love how snake like the sauropods necks are. Someone should reanimate this but with more scientifically accurate designs one day. It would be a big project but it would be worth it.
@@joannestealey4482 Well sauropods did also live until the end of the Cretaceous. The most famous ones like Apatosaurus and Brachiosaurus lived in the Jurassic but many other sauropods lived in the Cretaceous life the Titanosaurs.
The T-Rex would be dead or seriously wounded and knocking on heaven’s door. Getting hit by a stegosaurus’s tail is a death sentence for any predator. It’s like being impaled by gigantic spears. Plus, the triceratops would turn and fight rather than run. Studies suggest they here hyper-aggressive toward predators. To a triceratops, the only good predator is a dead predator.
