Worlds to Conquer

Bol

The third in the Disney “Making of” series is the story of Disney’s most ambitious, monumental work. The concept: the world’s greatest music, presented according to the highest acoustic standard, and illustrated by the brilliance of the Disney studio at the height of its powers. The journey of how Fantasia came to be, beset with almost insurmountable challenges, is one of the most breathtaking in movie history. In 1940, Walt Disney released his third feature film: Fantasia, consisting of eight animated segments set to music by Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra. The film was groundbreaking: it was the first to be presented with multiple audio channels in a process called Fantasound, the precursor to surround sound. Apart from its technical achievements, Fantasia broadened the scope of Disney’s appeal. Adults had always comprised a large percentage of Disney’s audience, but Fantasia—while suitable for children—was designed specifically to appeal to audiences with a mature appreciation of the arts.
