#OLD FLICKERY MICKY MOUSE CARTOONS MOVIE#
Almost everything about this movie was experimental and new no one would have seen or heard anything like it before.ĭuring the development of Fantasia, Disney came up with some rather innovative ideas for the film.
The pieces finally chosen represented a vast array of styles and designs, ranging from abstract animation to mythological creatures to, at the time, scientifically up-to-date depictions of ancient life. One proposed segment, set to the music of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumblebee, would later be used as the basis for the Bumble Boogie segment in Melody Time. None of these abandoned ideas were bad in fact some would later be used to create new animated shorts, sequences for some of the studio’s later package films, and even a sequel almost 60 years later. Many ideas were discussed and set aside in the quest to find the perfect pieces. Throughout 1938, Disney, Stowkowski, and presenter Deems Taylor, along with numerous other writers and department heads at Disney met to discuss ideas for potential segments. Thus, a full length animated feature was born: The Concert Feature, a name which of course did not stick for long. When the short went over-budget, Disney knew that without expanding the idea into a feature, the short would never earn back its budget on its own. After receiving the rights to use Dukas’ music in 1937, Disney met with conductor Leopold Stokowski, and the idea for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice began to evolve into something more. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice was to be based on a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, set to music by Paul Dukas, and be something much more than the average Mickey Mouse cartoon short.
The idea for Fantasia started all the way back in 1936 when Walt Disney envisioned a short starring Mickey Mouse. Development Walt Disney and conductor Leopold Stokowski discuss ideas for Fantasia.
