Disney's fantasia final chapter part 2 [ ave maria ]

[CaptainViral84]

WoW it's like going to Aslan's country

[Luisofbrazil]

I wonder where are the people going.....

[mossfang1]

This march was always what I thought the march of the elves looked like as they prepared to sail to the West.

[DesktopNeko]

@nienor513 No yeah i agree with you. as a child these old movies keep you occupied, but at the same time, they introduce the more... i don't wanna say sophisticated... elements of culture and society. like Fantasia for example brings an appreciation for the arts and philosophy. movies like dumbo, snow white and the rest make you think, once you're mature enough to look past the princesses and princes and magic and glory that the old disney movies had. not to say the new ones are suckish, but...

[shelbielynnVEVO]

swingmaster, is this from the VHS or DVD??

[anadthebarbarian]

For all that is time

[wazzy3007]

this is a thing of beauty...

[jimihendrixfan2008]

I'm into classic rock, but I have this on my iPod and love it!

[bigjonnymac43]

Sends chills up my spine in a good way

[fringeelements]

Man, all these other people enjoying this makes me not enjoy this.

[jgirlthevideomaster]

I think everyone can remember seeing this as a child and not really getting it, but now looking back you can see the pure simple beauty in it. Love Disney! You can never be too old for it

[herboo44]

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of I've ever had the experience of watching. As a child, I watched this and always stopped watching the movie after the "Dance of the Hours." Because I didn't

Understand this piece. I felt that it was "boring". Now that I am matured and an adult, it is something that is very sacred and beautiful.

[ALANRANJAL]

@herboo44 yes and it is so true

[marthmaster79]

Gorgeous, I LOVE this sequence, it's may favorite out of the whole film. I love Shubert's Ave Maria, and the pairing of that song with this beautiful, silent animation makes for a combination so beautiful it almost brings me to tears. ^^

[beautifulbeast4]

Wow. I am an athiest who sees no use for religion, yet I love this. The song is great, and the animation is beautiful. I would pay lots of money to have any frame of this as a painting. The idea of peace is wonderful as well.

[VanishPoint]

@beautifulbeast4 You don't need religion to believe in love and peace :)

[beautifulbeast4]

@VanishPoint Very True. Extreme religion is probably the least peaceful thing in this world.

[Madshoe7]

@beautifulbeast4 Extreme atheism isn't any better.

[beautifulbeast4]

@Madshoe7 That's a good point.

[beautifulbeast4]

@Madshoe7 That's a good point.

[CaptainZombie]

This gives me chills

[jastiksk8crw]

Subliminal propaganda. Do you not see the suggestive themes in these disney films? Its so obvious, the truth is being seen with eyes that cant see the truth.

[Crazygamer6]

@jastiksk8crw Stop searching for things that aren't there. And stop talking in pseudo cryptic-speak, it just makes you look silly.

[DBRalf25]

one of the most wonderful scenes of this film, wich is made for adults and not for children.

[NicPap12]

You are absolutely blind if you do not believe this is portraying the light of Christ casting out the evils Lucifer. Ave Maria is even being played.

[1337JAP]

interestingly, the sequence with the monks walking with the torches is one of the smallest pieces of animation ever done

[mca1218]

The loveliest sequence in the entire film- consisting only of a choir, a caravan, and a few simple pans through a forest at dawn- and your breath is taken away. Singularly gorgeous.

[BlueZephyr16]

this always scared me when i was little, but now i can really appreciate the animation.

[Saintnick90]

This and Rite of Spring are some of my favorite animated sequences of all time.

[plutao]

me too

[AlmaQueen]

charming

[loserwoman87]

Touches you even if you're not religious :) Just a powerful message of hope and good nature-it's incredible.

To me, it ranks up with the plastic bag scene in American Beauty and the 'Meet me in Montaulk' scene in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as the most beautiful scene I have ever witnessed in cinema. It's just fucking haunting.

[herlastvoyage]

This is one of the most beautiful film sequences ever. Ever.

[Mr2Killer]

è meraviglioso non ci sono prole per descrivere con quanta armonia mi abbia toccato questo finale!!!!!!!!

[ufferndiawl]

fantasy does not come any better than this - superb

[iamthedurbinator]

walt disney did not actually make this to be too religious. but it is there to show that no matter how horrible evil is (Chernabog), it is always overpowered and driven out by good (the procession of the saints). The devil is defeated by the ringing of church bells.

[KingofMarks91]

Ave Maria translates into "Hail Mary"

Am I right?

[Boerenfox]

Yep, the Hail Mary, Full of Grace, etc. is the English translation of the ancient prayer.

[WhyBBill]

Fantasia was the first motion picture

that used classical music. I don't think

was trying to popularize classical music

with his audience. But classical music

fit better with animation.

[sslfsociety]

This is for LittleBuckyKatt:

I get what you're trying to say, and when you look at when the maovie was made, it makes perfect sense. In 1940, America was nearing the end of the Great Depression and on the eve of World War II. Disney could have made this out of religion, or it could have been to give people hope. We can only guess at his true intentions.

[Jokaanan]

This is the best movie ever made.

Period.

No plot, no protagonist...best movie ever made. And it has the best ending of any movie ever made, too. Whether or not it's about religion is irrelevant. There are multiple themes going on here, there's something for everyone, and even if you're not religious - like me - you can still appreciate the religious themes from an artistic standpoint.

Completely mindblowing. Dear fucking god in hell.

[Worsthoofd]

Lol, I second that. This movie is stunning, especially the first and the last chapters.

[kistasha1407]

Geeze this was when music was taken seriously in Disney. Now we have talentless twats who don't even play the written music that's given to them <<__<<;;

[LittleBuckyKatt]

I don't believe these classical pieces are so much about religion as they are surviving. I think the only way that Disney could simplify this concept was to make it as simple as evil (the devil depicted here) against good (the procession of lights.)

Think of it this way: even after all the turmoil there is still a light at the end of the tunnel. The procession is more of people who still hope for a better future.

If you WANT to think it's about religion, then go ahead. But that just gets...

[LittleBuckyKatt]

(cont.) negative comments or feedback, which is really pointless when you think about it.

I think it's beautiful all the same, but if religion is making it hard for you all to enjoy this, then why don't you leave that concept out and just enjoy the imagery? You all seem to agree that the music and animation themselves are beautiful and nostalgic.

[OhMySong]

I couldn't have said it better myself.

What I love about religion in general is all of the wonderful artwork it inspires. Nothing inspires mankind more. Sometimes, the artwork is so wonderful that it transcends religion and can be inspirational on other levels. That's Fantasia's Ave Maria. Why over analyze something when it is beautiful as is?

[sslfsociety]

I understand that everybody has their own opinions, and I respect your's. Fantasia just happens to be one of my favorite movies, and this is a very emotional song for me. I'm sorry if you don't agree with me.

[MrPickle12481632]

You apparently haven't watched many Disney movies, sslfsociety.

Either that or you're too thick to make simple abstractions

[sslfsociety]

I love Ave Maria. It is one of my favorite pieces. I have never been able to watch this part of Fantasia without crying. It is one of the rare Disney movies to show anything that has to do with

God and religion. Thank you swingmaster.

[947Patriot]

I have to agree, I go to pieces every time I hear this song. The Marching Band from my School is playing "A Night on Bald Mountain" It's sort of a shame that we can't play Ave Maria afterward.

[Boerenfox]

That will be too religious for your school band.

[teresachristine]

I will share with family. Writing a childrens story? That will be interesting. Also, probiotics should be taken along with antibiotics for sure. I was mistaken before.

[teresachristine]

I will, thank you.

[ItachiUchiha2022]

Beware of Satanists...this is mind control!!

They want you to worship Satan, too! Don't let your kids watch this satanic crap!

[vigo894]

This isn't Satanic you nut! It clearly shows the Light of God defeating evil. Get a life.

[ItachiUchiha2022]

I warned you...

[vigo894]

Don't threaten me. I know evil when I see it. I went to public school.

[ItachiUchiha2022]

lol

[Emothiczurfer]

pretty awesome and horrorific too.

[conover07]

hey i never even watched this video i think some 1 hacked my account :( SRRY

[nicco861]

che bella canzone

[slqkjdkd]

Fantasia is by far the best disney...

[Billygroom93]

We just played Ave Maria from fod and dom in my high school band and is was simply BEAUTIFUL. It was the same arrangement that chanticleer did. If you haven't heard that you need to go listen to it.

[sunnysmiles101]

ive alwase <3333 thhis part lk sooo much!!!! but i didnt relize that they wer ppl holdin lit up staffes i thout they wer things with glowin heads........ o wel i still wanna think that cuz it brings bak good memoriez :]

[xtremenortherner]

Mussorgsky & Schubert, I've never thought of this before,but is it a coincidence that BOTH composers died at a young age?These 2 pieces are both very beautiful,also melancholy,it reminds me of my relatives who have left us also.(No,we're NOT demons!).You know,we've had electric lighting for only 100 years,if you've ever spent a night out in the wilderness away from cities;you can appreciate how incredibly dark a moonless night can be! No wonder our ancestors sometimes feared the night!

[d2eux]

Didnt really appreciate this part when I was young, now I do a whole lot more

[katielove7]

I so agree!

[beerdrinkingdave]

to be perfectly honest the Night on Bald Mountain part with the big devil I much prefer over this. good song just the same

[54spiritedwill54]

I love to listen to this when I'm doing my homework. :)

[imjunipernow]

This scene was stolen for LOTR when the elves moved

[kisalovesyou]

How stupid are you? Don't you see that this is much older than LOTR? (and, plus, has nothing to do with it)

[conover07]

That's why I said Peter Jackson stole it FOR LOTR.  Now go take your meds and rock yourself in the corner - it's only a comment FGS.

[kisalovesyou]

Ok, I apologize for reading it the wrong way and for calling you stupid. But still I don't think that it was stolen for LOTR...

[Krazycat2579]

the clouds at the end are little oddly shaped like UFOs??

[JackofWhitechapel]

lol yeah don't you know, god is an austronaught! lol.

[ROCK5LIN]

It's not classical its romantic.

[feralferret]

Takes the air out of my lungs.

[ImaLittleNeko]

This song is so beautiful. Everytime I hear this song....it makes me cry. T.T

[Diane12163]

This is the most beautiful piece of music ever written and the absolute definitive performance of it. I just found out my dear sweet niece Maria has died of a heart attack and I dedicate this piece to her. She was such a beautiful soul trapped in a troubled life.

[davincimora]

The clouds at final are like UFOS

[templar1099]

this such a great song , just perfect to relax and do some good old reflections

[Coachmaster]

They shoukd have had this playing through the death scene of Romeo and Juliet.

[madaboutmika75]

me favepart of the film <3333

it makes me cry cuz it is sooo beautiful

[vhsexpert]

I like this beautiful piece of music, much better than the song When You Look Me In The Eyes, by the Jonas Brothers.

[carlymarley11]

I don't understand how you can even compare the Jonas Brothers to this classic.

[HSM3luvr4eva]

omg you cannot compare this beautiful piece to fake teenage boys

[AnonymousXIII]

lol, are they fake teenagers?  Or fake boys?

[10tim1]

The way Disney put this final Fantasia piece together is amazing. Not only does he follow up Night on Bald Mountain and devils with a heart warming song, but with none other than Mary in the Ave Maria. Abosolutely beautiful and truly touching.

[filmfreak2000]

it's Franz Schubert not Leopold Stokowsky!

[ianwestc]

It was both. Schubert wrote the original piece, and Stokowsky adapted it brilliantly for the Philadelphia Orchestra.

[SassiTheKitty]

beautiful

[feralferret]

Spellbinding. So beautiful.

[okhan001]

beautiful . . . .

[Hauraunah]

Does anyone else sometimes imagine they are ice skating to the classical tunes they are listening too? I do, I bring gold home every time ^.^

[CelineDionFan4568]

ave maria the message of triumph and hope of life over the powers of despair and death.

[Hauraunah]

I love to listen to this when I'm doing my homework. It excites me and drags me out of my annoying block.

[CelineDionFan4568]

when i'm watching something and doing my homework at the same time... i get distracted. don't you?

[Hauraunah]

It only distracts me when a change in mood occurs like someone starts yelling or something funny happens. That's why when I know I need to get work done I put on some classical it sets my mind free.

[templar1099]

you are so rigth men

[catchersmitt0]

Another good one to listen to during homework are Bach Brandenburgh Concertos.

[Hauraunah]

Thanks I'll definately check those out! ^.^

[rochestas]

Finally, someone has it! Ive been looking for this for forever! Thank you!

[Arabik12]

Bach and Leopold Trackosky are being ripped off big style by the likes of John Williams.

[rochestas]

Hey, now. John Williams is a great composer. Star Wars would be nothing without him. And the Olympics, for that matter (he's composed the theme for it four times).

[Arabik12]

The Tatoine theme is a blatent copy of a Piece of music by Trackosky . I wish i could give the name but i honestly cant remember it would probably be one of the first tunes that came up if u typed in Leopold Trackosky on a music search engine.

[pollsaudio]

Even if that's true, that doesn't account for the Star Wars main theme, the Imperial March, Indiana Jones theme, ET, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, the Olympic themes, and Superman, nor his little number he composed for Funny Face. And not to mention he's won numerous Academy Awards (second to Disney), personally selected 4 times for the olympics and is in the Classical Music Hall of Fame. I think he knows what he's doing.

[mastertatsu]

You wouldn't get anything if you looked for compositions by "Leopold Trackosky" because there is no composer known by that name. Perhaps, since this clip is from Fantasia, you meant Leopold Stokowsky, who is the conductor of the orchestra. Regardless, you shouldn't knock a composer for "ripping off" another's style. Where would music be if it wasn't for this form of inspiration?

On another note, if you find out who composed the piece Williams based his Tatooine music on, I'd love to hear it.

[CelineDionFan4568]

it's leopold stokowsky

[vigilance77]

One last defiant reach upward, and he cowers back down to where he belongs..defeated and always defeated from the beginning. And faith and hope returns with the dawn. Beautiful! Thanks for posting!

[herlastvoyage]

If there is anything in this world that is truly sublime, it is this.

[Ecleptica]

This part is just awesome, i always cry when i see it =)! But just a remark : it's Jean Sebastian Bach's Ave Maria and not Franz Schubert's ^^

[etraig]

huh? I'd alway heard this called "schubert's ave maria.

how do you know this?

[6MasterofPuppets9]

can anybody say, Kingdom Hearts

One of the most touching pieces I have ever heard

if there is anything more epic, enlighten me

[Locris86]

More epic? I would say that Fortuna from Carmina Burana is the most epic I've ever heard.

[6577446]

How about anything more silently gorgeous?

[NickWilliam89]

I use to cry a lot everytime I watch this part and it touches my heart, but one of the good animated movies of all time.

[FAITHNOWHORE]

this is genius. pure genius

[bettyjoon3]

thankssssssss!

[girlgonesad]

Endlich! Warte seit Monaten auf dieses Video :-) Merci

[m16chick]

FINALLY! found the damn video, absolutely love Ave Maria, so beautiful, just awsome!
