Fantasia - Russian Flowers

[Chummistress]

"Honey...the flowers are at it again >.>"

[draleria96]

Still Tchaikovsky... *-*

[Scorppanen]

Now I find flowers attractive...

[JLuVeeGee]

There are many pieces of classical music I can't listen to without thinking of fantasia.

[PurpleBearBird]

My high schools orchestra is playing this and i think of this whenever we play it <3

[kittymonsterable]

@PurpleBearBird lucky bitch!!!!!!.......dear god srry for calling u that :( really :(

[BillBaileyFan2662]

I danced to this last weekend in the Nutcracker, and the funny thing is, the girls had more jumping to do than the guys. Toe touches, switch leaps, torjetes, and of course heel clicks. Loved every second of it, and now the post-Nutcracker depression sinks in...

[bigman1171]

EASTER EUROPE > WESTERN EUROPE OVER 9000



[pjmcurran]

its Russian k

[rhinomantis88]

I wonder what is the chance soem flowers would suddenly start dancing like that

[rhinomantis88]

Creepy, but epic and cute.

[Lululiyan]

In Soviet Russia.....

Flowers dance on top of you!

/lol I suck at these jokes \(`;ω;´)

[windstorm1000]

very hard dance to do in real life, by the way--better have strong thighs.

[kiki0girlify]

why is this version so quiet? isnt it supposed to be loud and joyous?

[MegaAzornumbers09]

the old version of russian danceing men

[skywalkerchick]

I think my favorite part of this whole sequence is how the flowers look like Cossack dancers. I think that's just adorable! <3

[Floobegusted]

I Love this sequence, I love the music, I Love the flowers and I love the ending when they turn into real flowers.

[KetchupSplodge]

I remember when I first watched this I was like

oh cool flowers :)

...

WOAH

WOAH WTF I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING

[Nicetitaniclover104]

totally remunds of thw kasachok

[XxStr8paintballerXx]

0:35 listen to that open A string

CELOS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!



[The91Bassman]

What movement of the nutcracker is this?

[Kiniler]

Music + Art + Culture = Fantasia

[acla9000]

@Kiniler You're 100% right.

[hobbydogs]

was disney high when they made this? o.o?

[HorsesRcool69]

@hobbydogs No, they were not high. This was back when they actually had creativity.

[soberchimera61]

Walt Disney obviously took some acid and stared at some flowers.

[NineTailedAngel]

This is Adorable. :D You can really tell they are flowers, but they do, if you have imagination, look like Russian Dancers, with the big fur hats and the ladies headdresses and full dresses. Now, THIS is when Disney rocked! Not now with all the crap :/

[Deathawaitsnoone]

I think I speak for everyone when I say Disney was a lot better when it tried to be its own thing and not conform to what everyone else was doing or what was even popular at the time and this video shows that in the best way possible.

[Cresendoll]

I love how the flowers are given a remote, human-like shape, but still can be recognized as flowers.

This kind of animation can be entertaining for the whole family.

[x0DisneyGirl0x]

I used to dance in the living room to this..lol

[Vukodlaak]

Awwwwww I'm feeling like when I watched it for the first time. I was 6 years old :')

[johnnymccraze]

Haven't even seen the movie, and yet I still love this beyond all comprehension.

[Girlz202]

Lol dancing flowers! xD I really like this music! :)

[arnolioful]

This is from Tchaykovski's Nutcracker suite

[CantStayAway]

I totally remember this part from when I was a kid.:)

[Reido2828]

True art

[hopelessromantic1311]

this is SOOO cool!!! I love this!!!

[Maddy922]

This song gives me a heart attack when I hear it on my ipod.

[Bdawg9891]

For the longest time I thought these were radishes

[bellairis29]

@Bdawg9891 lol me too! I thought I was the only one!

[DJHashBrownies]

yay! i'd love it if that happened to me in the middle of the street, it'd be so weird.

[rulerofthebog]

This brings back memories of five-year-old me madly whirling around in a circle in the living room to this sequence, and falling nonchalantly on my behind whenever anyone would enter the room, pretending I had just been sitting there the whole time. (I did that a lot. I loved dancing like a little maniac but I hated for anyone to actually catch me doing it.)

[tiswabley]

Me: I'm goin' out, mom!

Mom: Why?

Me: To kill the 16 people who disliked this!

Mom: Okay. Have fun.

[amyleerobpattinson]

@tiswabley the question is "Where?" not why

[vgfan100]

I actually got to play this piece in my high school's Christmas concert when I was a junior. It was a blast! The real name of the piece is "Trepak" by Tchaikovsky, but you could call it the "Russian Dance" since it is just that in the Nutcracker. Oh, and bravo to the flowers! Bravo! =)

[UNt0uChAble743]

When I was a kid, I did not understand a single thing in this movie... I was only enjoying the music

[EmilyBlack01]

@UNt0uChAble743 You should watch the dancing mushroom. Btw is it me or do the mushroom look Japanese .

[ensignr]

Wow I feel like I should be tripped out on acid in order to watch this children's film. 

[DementedAbsolution]

This never cease to amuse me

[free2rhyme2012]

can anyone tell me the name of the song?

[free2rhyme2012]

can anyone tell me the name of the song?

[KOakaKO]

@free2rhyme2012 - Tchaikovsy's "Russian Dance"

[MishaFallen]

i didnt know flowers could dance that good!

[TheNinthDoctor]

This was always one of my favorite parts.

[LailaBecef]

this is very funny ...i love this movie and i'm glad i grew up watching this instead of the new movies - alot of effects with nothing to tell they dont care about education anymore- just about rating in the childern's channels (in my country)

[johnnymccraze]

Fantasia is the only thing that can make dancing flowers AWESOME.

[Cherrybubbles789]

brings me back to my childhood, brilliant piece

[lljames123]

Again, the work of Art Babbitt.

[1EllaBennett]

still manages to make me smile:)

[Halogirl90]

i agree



[ccipollini1984]

Back when the name "Fantasia" diden't evoke some crappy American Idol reject.

[ABdadaSURD]

I love Fantasia and I love Tchaikovsky :D

[MrQUIET54321]

i remember i would always go nuts on this part and start dancing like them.....but later when im done i always get alot of injury on to my body but it was worth it :D GREAT TIME EVER!!!!

[rhinomantis88]

Scary...but cool

[3piper]

has anyone uploaded the sexy goldfish.I loved that scene and have looked for it.i really should buy the movie

[glitchmastaz10000]

I love seeing this,and I also love it when people complain about the new disne It only makes these movie a million times better!

[ElysianKat]

These movies are so inspirational. :)

[nubapowner5000]

I want to show this to my kids because not only will it give them the great sense of cartoons that we had growing up but I can watch it to and not hate it like modern cartoons.

[golachica1311]

I LOVE it!!! I could watch Fantasia forever!!

[vesnalila]

how lovely! Lepa Pesma, From Vesna (Springtime in Russia)

[CeruleanFilms]

This should be immediately followed by the flower sequence from Pink Floyd: The Wall.

[DavoCitizen]

@CeruleanFilms good call!

[FastestFlash]

What is the name of that song and who does it? Please let me know!

[golachica1311]

@FastestFlash This song is a part of the ballet "The Nutcracker Suite", written by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The scpecific name of this song is "The Russian Dance".

[a1b2arribas]

alguien podria decirme el titulo de esta musica?

[jacobthelightningone]

The female ones remind me of the Pokemon Lilligant... a bit.

[HelloHaaari]

listening to this whilst doing my school presentation work is the best thing on a sunday! :D

[jfuzia]

JUST LOVE ALL THESE pIECES OF MUSICAL aRT. MY DAUFGTER LISTENED 2 ALL CLASSICAL mUSIC(tCHAIKOVSKY'S wALTZ, mOZART,ETC) FRM 4YRS OLD @BEDTIME, UNTIL SJE WAS 7 OR 8 YRS OLD. SHE IS A VERY ACCOMPLISHED PLAYER OF THE vIOLA

[TheMyrazia]

I have anthophobia so this freaks me out, still love it though.

[Koolkat197]

@TheMyrazia rofl ive never heard of a fear of flowers. but then again im afraid of cemeteries which is called.....coimetrophobia =D

[Sokulski]

One of my favorites

[BabygirlNele]

Lol they crack me up :P

[kevin132000]

Gotta luv the original Fantasia. Im 22 and we have had our VSH tape for 21 years, touble is started to degrade so buying the DVD of the 1940 version

[yumyum090995]

I Have Fun Playing This Song On The Violin! :D Haha <3 I Think Disney And Good Classical Art Make A Good Combination, :D

[TheCamiy11]

my favorite part :,)

[IlaButterfly97]

perchè nessuno mi ha mai fatto vedere queste cose quando ero una bambina?

forse, se così fosse stato, oggi sarei una persona diversa. migliore.

dove siamo andati a finire? dove si è persa la magia di un tempo?

gli adulti stanno rubando l'infanzia a noi nuove generazioni, oscurano il passato del mondo, ci confinano in un presente senza ritorno, dove la magia non esiste, dove sorridere non è più lecito, dove QUESTO non esiste più.

[TomKennyIsLovely]

Some of the best childhood moments for me revolved around this song!

Literally 'revolved.' I thought I was so good at dancing!

[kchishol1970]

This is one of the finest moments of the film and it would been nice if they had a TV commercial with this music and footage as an announcer goes, "See, hear, experience Fantasia."

[Stallya]

Thumbs up if you think these flowers look like pokemon

[moonlight293]

I used to try and dance this when I was a kid! xD

[kryptonianpowers]

13 who don't like this are weeds.

[delphinaforever]

i'm nearly 18, I remember watching this when I was younger, and I still thinks that it will never get better than this

[PRBabe101]

reminds me of alice in wonderland u noe the talking flowers?



[MsToughcookies]

Classical music speaks like no other. There should be a stronger appreciation of it than there is in my redneck home...

[FireheartZX]

In soviet russia, flowers dance you

[oilyhakan]

@FireheartZX in spain thay dance with flowers in there mouth i think this video needs humans in there mouths ;D

[Giannak0sss]

@FireheartZX xD



[QueenWaterLily]

@FireheartZX

Aha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[kristofsky4]

@FireheartZX your jokes are played out

[Serena2009ification]

I used to make up my own lyrics to The Nutcracker Suite when I was a kid.

This one went:

"Dpp doodododoo..Reese's There! Do doodoodoo doo... Pieces There!!

Doodoodoodoodoodoodoodoodoo!"

Not very creative or eloquennt ,perhaps, but I was only 5 or 6 years old at the time! At least I kept it about candy....because it WAS The Nutcracker, after all. :)

[naruto0o0o0o0]

when i was like 5 or 4 or maybe even 3 i watched tihs movie the first time and its as good as the first time i watched it! i used to watch it every day and when i was in my mothers car and se put shakira or those kinda groups id cover my eras and change the radio to classic music! XD

[AgentDC76]

I remember watching this for the first time when I was eight or nine years old, and this was probably my favourite sketch of the lot. I could watch this over and over and over again.

[LaurenIzaMeerkat]

As a fifteen year old and part of today's youth, I think I speak for every decent teenager when I say that this is the best kind of Disney. The new Disney, with their Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brother crap, just disturbs me. I miss real Disney animation; we barley even see Mickey Mouse anymore. It's sad how the modern media has corrupted Disney to change it's fun ways and form it into teen pop sensation bullshit.

[doctoroctozilla]

@LaurenIzaMeerkat you have no idea how right you are, back then disney used to be pretty classic and funny with movies like hercules, alladin, sleeping beauty, peter pan, ya get the idea, now they've just kinda fallen off their peak...you know like the dinosaurs

[Haevenn]

@LaurenIzaMeerkat Isn't Jonas Brother's part of Nickelodeon? But yeah you're right, Hanna Montana and Jonas Brothers are crap.

[1Magic3Kat7]

i always cry when i watch disney movies :(

It reminds me of when i was younger and we all actually sat down to watch a cute movie

[koolinturn]

I wonder if we make a live sacrifice of Miley Cyrus to the Disney Gods will they give us our good times back?

[sheepbaad]

@koolinturn No we need 30 Miley Cyrus. Which means we have to get her the Jonas Brothers and the JB and we have to sacrifice them to Odin while he is chilling in Valhalla with his son Thor.

[danimal1026]

It's easy to look back at an era's best art and ache for the old days.

[JanJanHolmes]

when i have children, they will watch none of the modern shenanigans; just the good old stuff :D

[2637amy]

@JanJanHolmes Hellz to the yeah! *highfive*

[Lyrricane]

@JanJanHolmes

So your children are going to miss out on modern masterpieces like Up, Ratatouille, and Wall-E? Their loss.

[Hannahcrick]

@Lyrricane HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA masterpieces HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA thanks for the laugh 

[Geskleithron]

@Lyrricane

With "modern shenanigans" I immediately assumed he/she meant High School Musical and... Hannah Montana, but I agree: Up, Ratatoille and Wall-E are fine examples of modern gens, or masterpieces if you will. But then again, how many are there really?

[Lyrricane]

@Geskleithron

In the past 20 years, we've had The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pocahontas, and Mulan from Disney, and the Toy Story trilogy, Wall-E, Ratatouille, The Incredibles, and Up from Pixar. Arguably, Tarzan, Hercules, The Frog Princess, Monsters Inc., A Bug's Life, Finding Nemo, and Cars also belong in the mix. I'm sure there are some I'm missing.

I love the classics, but the new stuff is much more intelligently written.

[ThePieIsLie]

@Lyrricane

The Pixar movies such as Toy Story, Ratatouille, Finding Nemo and such can't really be credited to Disney. The company may own Pixar but they have no hand in the moviemaking process. They just mostly handle the marketing.

[Lyrricane]

@ThePieIsLie

Fair enough. Even if we're referring strictly to Disney, the Disney Renaissance of the 90s produced a lot of great works. They're not quite 'modern' any more, but they're definitely set apart from Disney's classic era. The Princess and the Frog is arguably a return to that style, so there's hope yet for more of the same.

[jcudal32]

@JanJanHolmes but then you'll make them spoiled in graphics. its better if you watch them make their mistakes and then you guide them to the good stuff.

[B1AnCaT]

this psychedelic art was given to us when we were children, bless.

[GabbyHoffarth]

if only i could dance like a flower....

[lizzehbeth]

I'm 16 and I remeber watching stuff like this when I was little. I grew up with classic disney and I miss all the good stuff they used to show

[MrsEmmaPeel07]

@lizzehbeth

Me too. I miss all the good Disney classic stuff as well. Disney just doesn't feel like Disney anymore. They lost their touch they use to have. It sucks. I'm 22 and I still love watching this kind of stuff.

[claudiosantiagobian]

Genial!!!!!!

[justino0077]

Was the best video

[tonez9207]

there are so very little videos on youtube that have as much joy as this.

[MrBobtheSquirrel]

:52= Flowers gone WILD!

[kiriethecalamity]

now you know theirs something wrong when barbie movies are using classical music and disney arn't.

oh well, all the more glory for barbie.

[tanival87]

I love this movie! And everytime I see it, I can't help getting depressed :( Miss those wonderful years of wonderful music and wonderful movies. And now what do we have? Crap called miley cyrus and jonas brothers ¬¬ So sad :'(

[abcvvn]

Yeah! What happen to the magic in the classic Disney! Disney now has all these terrible people who just comes and goes and they ruined Disney!

[rafaelLEE93]

i kind of thank miley and the crappy cartoon network shows. Because without them, they wouldnt have made the old disney, the old cartoon network and the old nickalodean more special. I regret turning off my t.v during dexters lab, thinking "oh it will be on some other time" but not knowing cartoon network would stop showing my beloved cartoons. I still long for them but i love them even more now for the modern tv cartoons for showing how much better they are and how they had more imagination.

[Stevie2Sxc]

I remember laughing my ass off at this as a kid. I dunno why but I found flowers dancing to be fucking hilarious

[Sosnowieca]

I idolized this stint as a kid it influenced my interests in anytjhing eastern european to noend

[mouse264]

Look! Look at this beautiful animation and music. And where has it gone?...I don't know. But I wish someone did.

[rochita894]

marriage image & sound.... perfect :)

[nikkix3lovesu]

now this is real art and music!!!

[exclusivescarlett]

I'm 15 years old, and i had this on video when i was younger!

i came home everyday after school and watched this, and i still love it now! It always makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck when ever the music starts playing!

i would rather watch this then high school music, and it has made me realize that most modern day pop music is all shallow and has no meaning, unlike the music in this, that has so much emotion behind it!

Fantasia, will always be my strongest childhood memory! :)

[kimettecrevette]

@exclusivescarlett I feel just like you. You said it all.

[naruto0o0o0o0]

@exclusivescarlett WOW! ur JUST like me! XD i used to watch it every day too! im 15 too.. and id rather watch than any other music !! :)

[GreatQueenFan]

@exclusivescarlett you're soo right. i'm 15 too and i still remember fantasia with goosebumps.

[skatepunkgirl]

i think its funny when everyone... well inkluding myself when we write i saw this when i was a kid, 10 years ago... come on the movie is from the 1940 xD

[Ratbagcath]

@exclusivescarlett Amen to you. I am 23 and I did the same as you!

[nofail]

@exclusivescarlett Well there is no wondering why ! The great music composers who composed the Fantasia theme spent some serious time at it, contrary to the ones in high school musical. Of course that's because the latter had to work quickly, in order to be lucrative. That's today's problem : everything has to be done quickly, at the expense of the quality...

[stevie222wonder]

@exclusivescarlett one of the best comments i have ever seen on youtube and one of the truest. small things like this make me confident there are still many people who appreciate good music on this earth.

[tri22umph]

@exclusivescarlett i totally agree! i think because now-a-days people rely on the lyrics when back then they only had the music itself to create depth with which is why its so meaningful and amazing to listen to if you open your ears!

[roselinabonnie1997]

@exclusivescarlett Me to!!! I remember renting this from the library everytime they had it. I always dreamed someday I'd play the music in here.

[dameronWolf]

@exclusivescarlett animated movies are always made with more heart. ^^

[Floobegusted]

The ones with fluffy tops and green bodies are the boys and the multi coloured inside out ones are the girls.

[Twiggymaster666]

it's a shame kids don't like this and other classics like dumbo, peter pan anymore i think the Disney classic generation are one day going to extinct

[PandaMishima]

One perfect blend of music and color!

[billnyethe1742]

One thing I dont understand is, almost like all the comments about disney is about how they have fucked up lately, but why? Just because little 8 year old girls get there parents to buy them hannah montana shit?!?! why arent children worth MASTERPIECES that take years to make insted of cheap computer annimated movies and crappy tween shows?

[Varghalur]

@billnyethe1742 Exacly, and not all children are so brainwashed as to like hannah montana. I remember when I was a child(in the 90's) I often thought the cartoons for children my age were too simple and cheap, like "the adults" thought children were so stupid. But it is even worse today ... like all the people who decide what is children material think children haven't got any brains when in fact they are fully capable of appreciating well made masterpieces, and actually tend to like them better

[billnyethe1742]

@Varghalur yeah everything today is purely because of money! People can make computer animated films much faster with MUCH less work and still make millions and that is why today there is no masterpieces there is just cheap crap even like when I was a child in the 90's they still had disney classics and it was amazing but sadly I didnt know that my childhood was the last to get that kind of disney

[luisasalinas]

ii love this film, cuz the music is sooo perfect with the animation, and makes me feel like in a crazy dreaam!! ... the kind of dreams that only ur imagination do!!... and thats why i admire this film!! is like an art!

[Laughosity]

what song is this called?

[yak12rules]

@Laughosity Russian dance by Tchaikovsky

[yak12rules]

@Laughosity Russian dance by Tchaikovsky

[latiziastrana]

fantastic

[14Roxy]

i love this part!!! it was such a creative idea to use these flowers as russian dancers!

[aznpezz]

EPIC!! walt disney makes classical music shine. <3

[PositivelyBatty]

Where's a time machine when ya need one....? THIS is art and entertainment! Disney, please come back!!

[momoandmiz]

Disney-Pixar movies are still good, at least.... This is a masterpiece~ :D

[ManelinhoAraujinho]

Don't you just feel like calling all your friends and make them dance to this with you?

[miniroll32]

Without this film, my interest in Classical Music would be zilch.

[dudewheresmyjew]

i swear when i first saw this part as a kid, i just had to get up and dance, the music was just so exhilarating. Since then I have always loved classical music :)

[missmagicbananasXD]

i miss the old mickey =(

and don't they look like dancing tampons? lol

[missmagicbananasXD]

i miss the old mickey =(

[VMATT500C]

The leaves look like marijuanna and at :48 the "caps" look like mushrooms. Any Botanists around?

[raptor0jesus]

@VMATT500C it is not marijuanna or mushrooms the "men" are tulips and the "ladies" with dress are morning glories

[br54789]

@raptor0jesus I'm not a botanist but I think they're thistles and orchids.

[averylynnw08]

This makes me happy!

[Sami7685]

This was my FAVORITE part of Fantasia. Often I'd only watch this segement when I was little.

[Floobegusted]

The ones with fluffy heads and green bodies are boys and the others are girls

[rebornfangirl]

er...thumbs up if you watched this video because of ivan/russia

[XxCallOfDutyAddictxX]

isn;t this french cancun?

[Gheorgyi]

@BleachFan9891 It's NOT "Disney music". This is from the "Nutcracker Suite" by a Russian composer called Pjotr Ilijch Chaikovskj (several ways to spell this one..., I've used the simplest form...) Gheorghij

[bandboy11111]

@BleachFan9891 I get what your saying but its not Disney, And I know every one will say this, but it ain't disney, its Tchaikovsky
