Supplemental context
Fantasia brings animation into a structured encounter with concert music. The film’s value to future readers includes the relationship between recorded performance and moving imagery, rather than only the familiar apprentice sequence. Composers, arrangements, performers and animation teams should remain distinguishable in an archive.
Creator/community: Walt Disney production teams; Leopold Stokowski and performing musicians Place/era: United States; 1940 film
Context and limits
This entry concerns the 1940 film, not Fantasia 2000 or every later release version. The violin and painted transparent sheets are invented metaphors; neither the images nor the instrument document an actual production asset or musical score.
