  • Wasnt this all taknig place on Pangea the supercontinent? so what i want to know is where did the dinosours think they could go? The entire place was prob having that drought - that and what was the quick sand thing?

  • @leatopia You have to remember that this was made in 1940; conclusive evidence of plate tectonics wasn't discovered until 1968. Also, the Disney artists weren't scientists they were just drawing what they felt best fit the music. Even though they had scientific consultation, it was still limited by what was known and perceived at the time.

  • The absolute helpless situation makes me frightened. Especially that the strong T-Rex in the evolution part also died. Against nature or, imvho, god, theres no chance to fight against. A sometimes terrible feeling, very good animated in this piece of music, especially in the earthquake part. The probably most disturbing part of moving pictures and music i have seen in my childhood (and i saw movies such as ALIEN or PREDATOR as a child). The intensity in this one is a different. This was real.

  • @Visnu2007  yea well sometimes, nature can be fought against (cough global warming). But i totally appreciate the immense hold nature's whims has over each and every one of us

  • Wonderfull! who's the conductor?

  • @Morteincarnata ma sei Italiano/a se si carica gli altri

  • @Zatynovenove Sì, sono italiano. Altre parti di Fantasia sono già presenti su Youtube; se alcune non sono state ancora caricate da nessuno, allora magari le caricherò io, quando troverò il tempo e la voglia! Ciao!

  • I remember watching this as a kid and feeling slightly freaked out about how the Dino's just die and the piece just ends at the Ice Age.

    When I watched it again as an adult, I felt...confused. I think it's because we already know that the Dino's will die out, yet the way they portray it in this piece makes you actually feel for the loss.

  • This is a beautiful piece. Thank you very much for uploading the visuals as well!

  • I haven't seen this film in nearly nine years, I used to be obsessed with this when I was a little child. My mum still has this on video, I think I will watch it sometime this week.

  • Beautiful animation and awesome music to back it up. This has always been some of my favorite music of all time, and the best thing Disney ever did.

    Oh, and about the debates...you're debating on youtube. Fail.

  • Take a physical anthropology class you miscreants.

  • Enough of this crap.

    People please read the update in this video's info panel. No creation vs evolution debates.

    Also please note that I'm not just, impartial or democratic in any way, so I will arbitrarily ban those that piss me off just as a dictator would have them killed.

  • @MorteIncarnata Sorry, It's my fault they started up. My sincerest apologies.

  • uhm I was there and this never happened.. they died because they farted too much and heated up the planet..

  • @aguirrmar Actually, Pangea was such a large continent that most of the interior was already a desert - the rain just couldn't make it all the way in. So most of the living space was already quite warm.

  • @Merkwerkee

    it was? what else can you tell me about the meteorological phenomena that took place in "pangea?"

  • @jndillaha Not much - just what my professor told me in oceanography class. Out of curiosity, why did you put Pangea in air quotes?

  • @Merkwerkee

    "Not much - just what my professor told me in oceanography class"

    im going to remember this sentence, it may be useful later. its not that i believe pangea never existed, because it may be a real possibility. i bet that we have entirely different concepts of it. i was a bit sarcastic because it is generally used as part of the religious indoctrination used to propagate the theory of evolution. your oceanography prof. knows little to nothing of pangea, he just pretends to know.

  • @jndillaha I'm glad you know my Oceanography professor so intimately. Perhaps you could arrange for me to have a better score on the next test?

    Also, "...religious indoctrination used to propagate the theory of evolution." sounds like an oxymoron - don't religions propagate creationism?

  • @Merkwerkee

    obviously i dont know your professor, but i do know that he cant know anything about the meteoroloical phenomena that took place on pangea since it isnt certain that pangea existed, and of course if it did, we still couldnt know anything about the weather. not to mention that his idea (i assume it is the "standard model") of the age of the earth is flawed, so he is starting with a flawed premise. yes many religions propogate creationism.

  • @jndillaha I was going to continue the argument, then realized the futility when I ran out of characters. Congratulations! You win by merit of me not actually giving a crap

  • @Merkwerkee +1 thumb up.by me.

  • @Merkwerkee

    i have had one guy quit debating because he was coming out of the closet to his family, which was especially rich. but next to that, this is the most interesting forfeiture of a debate i have had since i havent had a chance to prove my arguments. but if you dont give a crap, i cant force you, so take care. nice talking to you. it would be weird debating this on a rite of spring video anyway.

  • @jndillaha There is proof that Pangaea existed, lots of it, there is no other way to explain the geological phenomena of the world. We even know the directions the plates are moving in, it's not hard to trace them back to a point of origin. continuations of Rock formations at the joining points of various continents can be observed perfectly. Even a cursory look at the coastlines of South America and West Africa should be enough for a rational human being.

  • @jndillaha Also evolution is proven too, only religious nuts debate its proof. It's much more scientifically proven than the concepts which drive your computer, yet you're using one now with no questions asked. Again even a cursory look at the similarities between apes and humans should be enough for a rational human being. Pangaea and Evolution agree with what you can see, you shouldn't need mountains of evidence. Your eyes should tell you they're right if you aren't blind

  • @XArcane Why are we having a creation vs evolution debate?Just enjoy the music and scenery, people because this is a great example of how to make a strong movie without a story or dialogue.

  • @XArcane

    i didnt say pangea didnt exist, i said i didnt think it existed billions of years ago, because the earth is not that old.

    "evolution is proven" can you provide evidence backing up your claim? the similarities between apes and humans are not enough for any human to logically derive that mutations caused a common ancestor between the two to evolve into one another, since there is no known mechanism that allows this. i think it should be obvious that we were created by the same creator.

  • @jndillaha If all living beings were created, then why should a horse and a donkey give a viable offspring? Tigers and lions can interbreed aswell. Eventhought the offspring is sterile,a new living organism was conceived despite their parents being from two different species. Evolution by natural selection can explain this phenomena, but i'm intrigued to know the explanation that Creationism has to explain this event.

  • genetics explains these phenomena. when a horse and donkey, which are in the same genus, interbreed, the offspring is half horse, half donkey, nothing more, nothing "evolved." evolution cannot explain this since evolution is not proposed to occur by interbreeding, but by mutation. and since it cannot reproduce, no new species is created because it isnt passing its genes on. creationists have no problem with this. i have a problem with the idea that mutations can turn a bacterium into a human.

  • That's becuase you are probably thinking of single nucleotide mutations that can produce alleles of a gene with slight variations, o maybe generate 1 new gene.

    What if I tell you that chunks of chromosomes, containing dozens of genes can jump from one to another? For example our chromosome 2 is a fusion of two chimpanzee chromosomes (i think were chrosmosome 8 and 13). This mechanisms are more drastic in producing genetic changes and probably are the factor that produces speciation.

  • @AndrusPr8

    i got blocked under my other account. i wonder if you did too, or if this account is only in the habit, like most others, of censoring those opinions which dont align with his. if i am off base, i apologize. its just that i have had this done before and i find it ironic that evolutionists always accuse creationists of impeding progress when they are usually guilty of silencing dissent. oh well.

  • @mjdillaha I blocked both you and XArcane for continuing the debate after I had told you to stop. And no, you're not off base; have you not read my previous comment?

    Anyway, since blocking seems ineffective, I will moderate all comments.

  • @MorteIncarnata

    what do you mean by moderate? are you going to serve as an objective observer, chiming in when you feel that one of us is off topic or using too much time? anyway, i think you stifled the debate beyond repair. i doubt he will come back since he has been blocked. its probably the out he was looking for, so you did your side a favor. its easier to be blocked than to lose a debate.

  • I don't get what's the problem with Disney nowadays. After all, they still do what they always did: making entertainment for kids.

  • everything goes in circles

  • It seems quite obvious that this scene was a big inspiration for Don Bluth when he made Land Before Time.

  • @TheLordmep Yeah, Spielberg actually wanted LBT to be a silent film just like RIte of Spring but decided to make the characters talk in order to appeal to kids more.

  • This scene and the fight between the stegosaurus and the T-Rex scared the living hell out of me when I was little :P

  • anybody knows the dinasours werent killed off like that, but who faces. this is goddamn art.

  • So, anyone wanna take a crack at what that there earthquake would rank on the richter scale?

  • @Valerie1993100

    I thought the exact same thing as a kid :P

    Thing is, almost every cut in this piece is separated by several years if not eons. If those dinosaurs had 'just' died, they would not be a pile of bones by the time the tsunami (which was probably undrinkable salt-water anyways) rolled in. And then theres' still food to worry about.

  • It may not look like it, but within a few billion years, Earth will suffer thorugh that same kind of heat wave...

  • ross probably cried watching this

  • When I was littler (I'm 15) I used love this movie. Now it kind of scares me. o_o But I still love it- it's part of my childhood. When I was a toddler I had ALL of the Disney movies on VHS tapes, any one you could think of I had it. I still watch old Disney like Mickey mouse, this, and things like Loony Tunes. WHERE HAS MY DISNEY GONE?!

    But I bet if I looked around, I could find most of those tapes in the attic and buy a VHS player on eBay or Amazon...

    We need more things like this today. I

  • @SodapopSays

    Yeah, actually most of their movies did..

  • when the sun gets eclipsed by nibiru (it comes between the sun and earth) then the dinosaurs went extinct and cataclysm came on earth. In part 1 they showed the dwarf star and its comet elenin.

  • @glok1234 Oh yeah, the planet that doesn't exist.

  • It's still creeps me, infact all of fantasia movies have something creepy to it...

    btw, anyone notice the eclipse at the last part?

  • Man this song is unnerving, I can see why people might have freaked out when it was first played, must have been nothing like it. Mind you the animation adds to the freakyness

  • dinosaurs watching now are probably like, "Damn, if we had just waited a little longer, we woulda had some water, man!"

  • Anyone noticed of all the dinosaurs starving, struggling or marching on - only the Ceratosauruses from 1:31, 1:46-1:48 are having a field day trying thier luck with the stragglers in the mudpits? And yet the theropod - our T-rex/Allosaurid friend is struggling/falling like the rest of the dinosaurs he's marching with? Apologies for being an idiot...

  • i always thought that dinosaurs died of a meteorite, not the desert heat

  • @wiisalute This was made in 1940, they didn't know what we do now.

  • @wiisalute meteorite is just a theory. most of them were extinct because of they're size and drastic climate change

  • @Blassbeat A very plausible theory actually. In stratigraphy worldwide, there is a layer enriched in iridium at the K-T (Cretaceous- Tertiary) boundary. Iridium is especially common in meteorites, while sediments and rocks on Earth are iridium poor. While this may not have been the only cause of the K-T mass extinction (there rarely ever is one cause), let us say that there were several climatological and biological factors that were like a powder keg, and the impact was what lit the fuse.

  • I am still terrified of this song/sequence, and I'm 23.

  • @sweeperchick

    I feel ya, 23 and its like im 3 again or whatever age I was back then

  • @sweeperchick I feel you. Not piece of music has ever disturbed me like this one has. Some of the notes still give me chills.

  • The part at 2:01 is so eery to me. Just walking away into history and never coming back.

  • I just realized that Fantasia 1940 was the first Fantasia I saw not the 2000 one. 0.0 Well ain't that koolz.

  • Comment removed

  • This is the first time I've seen the 1940 Fantasia. It's pretty awesome.

  • idk why you ppl think an allosaurus is a t rex at the time allosaurus eas the most famous preditor

  • I'm still scared of that T-Rex from the end of Evolution though, and the images of the dinosaurs trying to drink from the muddy puddle has always stayed with me

  • watching this as an adult totally amazes me. how far we have fallen :(

  • I like that Disney doesn't take sides on what killed the dinosaurs. Just that the world was barren. Then that the world destroyed itself. LoL!

  • @DarkRubberDucky this was the 1940s though now theres iundefienable proof for the meteor impact and slow death of the extinction

  • @do501 Ah, Disney. It knew then what science learned decades later. =D

  • The T-Rex didn't kill the other dinos for 2 reasons

    -he didn't have the energy to fight another large dinosaur

    -he knew the world was totally screwed and trying to survive was pointless in this economy

  • ladies and gentlemen... My childhood.

  • This was always my favorite part of Fantasia, then the second was Night of Bald Mountain... even as a kid O.o

  • they knew a lot back then, and yet now how the dinosaurs died...

  • So the moral of the story is that it would have been better to be killed quickly by the T-Rex instead of die a long and miserable death.

  • @3rdandForemost They need to teach those morals in schools and churches.

  • Now why aren't they looking for the Great Valley?

  • @TheEspea omg, that is one of my favorite movies of all time!

  • @TheEspea They are, but there's a big difference between looking for and finding.

  • In the ending the human race, the mammals and the birds rule the world along with the survivors fish, reptiles, insects and arachnids

  • @jeanclaudejunior Don't forget the other reptiles like snakes, crocodiles, and the such.

  • oh and NOW theres water...

  • @swiftshadow2000 yea seriously....where exactly did that tidal wave come from lol

  • @fennaru :D

  • @swiftshadow2000 instant water..... just add water o.O

  • @fennaru :D lol

  • @swiftshadow2000 thats EXACTLY what i said! lol

  • I have seen this movie 35 times & never get tired of it. I'm glad I found these scenes & music so I can save them on my computer. This is the best animated film I have ever seen.

  • I distinctly remember connecting this to The Land Before Time

  • God, it was creepy as hell...

  • I love this part!! You could say it's creepy, but it is SOO cool with the animation and the music put together!!!

  • how could people not liked this when it was first released back in 1940? It's AMAZING!!!

  • So.. Why didn't the T-Rex just eat the other dinosaurs?

  • @RenpikaRozen It was way too thirsty, it died from lack of water. You can't kill or eat without water.

  • @RenpikaRozen

    even if the t-rex ate the dinosaurs it still would have died from dehydration

    plus if its thirsty it literally cant do nothing

  • @RenpikaRozen If I had to guess probably because it was too exhausted to hunt or kill, and severly dehydrated. It needed water more than anything.

  • Comment removed

  • i love dinoaurs. rawr <3

  • @FayyLeaf rain created floods

  • where'd the water come from ???????

  • @BearyCuteFren97 Well this didn't give information so I'm just going to suggest it came from a comet made out of ice that crashed into the earth.

  • The Death of that theropod was awesome! But a bad@ss like that could have a more awesome death.

  • The movie "Dinosaur" is clearly inspired of this part of Fantasia.

  • @10wazar -Cough couch- Very far ,"dinosaur" has carnotaurs and iguanadons and stuff and this is not like it.

  • Dang this is depressing! but at the same time its kinda pretty, you cant not look away (by the way im very thirsty now after waching this).

  • Watching this again, on my widescreen system, makes me think, they did all this outstanding art and animation by hand, without computers or digital magic. I can overlook the inaccuracies of Rites. The focus was mainly on the animation and music (great classical score). The science wasn't as important. Its an artistic interpretation.

  • NO-not the strong and weak - all are powerless before the nature of power ... it is worth considering! Stravinsky and Disney - genius!

  • Everyone: this film was made in 1940. That's over 70 FREAKING YEARS AGO. Nowadays, movie artists research what they're making to make it more accurate, but we should just be impressed just by how impressive this looks for something so old, m'kay?

  • Wow, am I the only one disturbed by how inaccurate this entire thing is? I’ll forgive the postures and everything because of the changing times, but they’ve got animals that are separated by millions of years standing side by side like it’s no big deal. Triassic, Cretaceous, and Jurassic animals just hanging out, why don’t we throw in some wooly mammoths and a WWI Field officer just for fun?

  • @GamaScythe I seriously doubt they had music either, so just enjoy it.

  • @GamaScythe I noticed that. I presume they didn't have time in a segment to divide them and still tell a story but given how boring most of this film is but how awesome the evolution and dinosaur part is, Disney should have just made the whole film about the evolution of species before humans and made dinosaurs a major part of it. Even as a kid, I felt like the only 2 good parts of it were Mickey and the dinosaur parts, with the latter far more impressive.

  • Where's the meteor?!!!

  • @saretardedfilms People didn't know what killed the dinosaurs off at the time this was made, so they just guessed. This was from 1940 and the meteor discovery was not until 40 years later. So long story short, this could be the effects from the meteorite if you wanna put it that way.

  • ps... thank you dinosaurs for dying and turning into oil :/

  • @dchris1990 LOL, I didn't think of it that way.

  • after watching this, and knowing that Walt Disney probably had a role to play in making this, Idk how a man so genuinely intelligent and creative could still be an antisemite and racist...

  • @dchris1990 um...lots of bad people are intelligent/creative. One has nothing to do with the other. Intelligence and creativity aren't moral values.

  • In spite of all the discoveries that have been made about dinosaurs since this animation was made, the Rite of Spring of Fantasia is still the best dramatic portrayal of the rise and fall of the dinosaurs!! I'll take this hand drawn, hand painted Fantasia animation over Jurassic Park anytime!! Ray Harryhausen felt when he saw" Rite of Spring" it was no use completing his stop motion dinosaur project," Evolution" because Disney did it so well with the music!!

  • 3:15 ROCK N ROLL YA OL' FOSSILS \o/

    Fuck, I watched the 3 parts of The Rite of Spring as in Fantasia, best piece of art ever =D

  • What's the thing after this? Like, are there parts of Fantasia.

  • @TheWhyteRayven It's all on wikipedia. First comes a silly "soundtrack" intermission, then the centaur part on the pastoral symphony by van Beethoven.

  • The start of this is how I feel in the summer months.

  • when i was a little kid i was terrified by this part Fantasia. as an adult all i can do is think about all is all the things we now know about dinosaurs that contradict what was known when this was made. either way the Rite of Spring Scenes are one of my favorites/most memorable from Fantasia.

  • I think Spielberg saw this and decided to make the land before time because that's the feeling I got while watching this

  • This part bloody terrified me as a child.

  • I remember that as a kid I used to cry over all the dinosaurs' deaths... Look how bony and skinny they are! Noooo! Poor Dinos... *sniff sniff* Could this be what will happen to our Earth in the future?... Again, I love the animation and music, Fantasia is just Epic. 

  • omg! look at how bony and skinny the triceratops ( or however you spell it ) is at 1:19! and look closely at the other dinos at that part! all bony and skinny. and seeing them just drop dead like that.... I would rather get hit by that meteor than try to survive by looking for food and water, but then end up dying by starvation and lack of water.

  • Comment removed

  • how i used to watch this as a kid and not shit myself all the time was incredible

  • @JoeyJizzable Because you knew that the end was still to come .......and the mountain.

  • so you're the one...nope me and my friends would just compete on who shit the least @JoeyJizzable

  • So... what are the odds we're watching 2012 play out in animation right here?

  • reminds me of the land before time

  • I am almost choking on the irony here

  • this makes me depressed on how this earth used to have dinosaurs

  • I remember watching this as a kid and being so utterly terrified of the whole animation that I would hide under a blanket. Sure, dinosaurs were awesome, but the three sequences gave me nightmares of lava, a T-Rex, and an enormous earthquake destroying the entire world and killing everyone. Now as an adult, I can actually fully appreciate the magnificence of Stravinsky's composition and the background behind it, even if I am still a bit afraid of how it makes me feel when I hear it.

  • @NeverLookBackSamurai I can share and understand your feelings to this. I myself am still slightly frightened by 2:22-2:44 where that skull is that of the theropod who had fallen earlier. The area is like the aftermath of a battle in the desert with the fallen strewn about though it's not the main point. Funny thing 3:33-3:40 shows a major orogenesis (mountain building activitity!) haha - I do some geology in my course hehe...

  • @quickquick98: you mean the massive and sudden world spanning disasters that are not only scientifically implausible, but the same kind of stuff that is the basis of the bible creation stories you disbelieve in?

  • Oh, all the dinosaurs are dead and NOW the water comes lol....

  • @Tungchu92 nature is such a troll

  • lol at 1:57 he looks like he's smoked about a kilo!

  • something tells me this movie was made before the theory involving the meteor killing the dinosaurs

  • @roboguy75 The aftermath of the meteor's hitting was kinda like this.

  • This is such an incredible film, and although I hadn't seen it for years, most of it stood out so much in my mind... it is hard to forget this movie, but of course you'd never want to, it is so great. (:

  • I remember watching this as a kid and I found that this explained how the world was really created. Garden of Eden? Noah's Ark? Never happened: Fantasia's the real deal. If a creationist asks: "if evoltution is true: why can't we find a complete dinasawr skeleton, hurr durr?!" show him 3:21-3:36.

    It was funny though how I believed that both humanity's origin as Cavemen and that Garden of Eden story were both true even though they kind of contradicted each other.

  • Why are you arguing about ART?

    People, this is art. Everyone's interpretation will be different. It is expected. But damn, don't try to convince someone that your opinion is better. So what if the dinosaur has one too many fingers? Who gives a shit? The important thing is that this music is fucking AWESOME.

  • @MadelynDune Well said and I couldn't agree more. Some people are just too pedantic for words, LOL! It is, after all, a beautiful animated film and not subject to laws of physiological accuracy. If people want that they can find a documentary on National Geographic.

  • git out da quicksand you dumb ass dinos

  • @toren737 ahahaha xD

  • Here, I'll settle it:

    Christians, it's a movie. If you can't tolerate it as scientific theory, then think of it as cool-looking science fiction.

    Evolutionists, it's a movie. It's not a literal interpretation of evolutionary theory, current or otherwise, as much as it is setting beautiful and terrifying imagry to music.

  • bad trip

  • It looked like an Allosaur, personally...

  • Is it just me or that this section really reminds what happened just 3 days ago in Japan?

  • @itaifriman

    It's you ya insensitive prick :P.

  • This Segment Was Epic 

  • I watched this movie everyday for the first five years of my life, don't remember it being this messed up.

  • @Zenardo

    There was a comment of your that was marked as spam. I unmarked it. I think it was probably a troll.

  • This used to always make me thirsty......

  • All of those poor obese stego's!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MorteIncarnata haha bad ass movie! ive been on a vintage disney movie watching spree

  • And on and on they march, driven by survival, their poor minds could not comprehend the fact that they were marching toward their doom.

  • @TheAtlanticDan *sigh* I see someone misinterpreted my comment altogether. What I had intended was to come off as snarky, yet willing to agree to disagree. In this case, I treat the Bible as nothing more than a good bedtime story. In the meantime, I was hoping fundamentalists watching this would treat it the same as watching Mickey Mouse: not real. Again, agree to disagree.

    Also, "scientists" didn't find "actual bones". Paleontologists find fossils made when hard tissue is replaced by rock.

  • 13 people had a bad childhood and do not want to remember it

  • This is utterly brilliant.

    But I got so sad when I was little. I wanted to help the ones stuck in the mud :(

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

  • MANNNNN!!!! THIS SHIT GAVE ME NIGHTMARES WHEN I WAS LITTLE!!!!

  • Love it how the powerful and awesome T-rex dies at 1:59. He was so badass in the 2nd part, but now, poor thing.

  • @Hellothasauras Yes, I used to feel very bad for the T-Rex as well! But I also loved his "death animation": it's better than ragdoll physics!

  • @MorteIncarnata i know, right? they used to make death SO believable, and let it happen too. but now, everything either lives through some traumatic experience or we don't see him die. I say let 'em! XD

  • @MorteIncarnata

    F*uck the T-rex. he starved to death while surrounded by a bunch of weakened herbivores. Pathetic!!! Stego's rule!!!

  • @tehjefey Why did you put three in quotations? By doing that you're insinuating that the three claws are fake and/or don't exist. Same thing with putting quotations around 'that'.

  • @Kitsune

    I redirect the question about your screen name good sir.

  • @tehjefey As I said earlier, Disney depicted the T-Rex with 3 fingers because he thought it looked better that way. I kinda understand it considering the time. I don't know whether people call it a T-Rex because they don't know the T-Rex had 2 fingers, or because they understand that, regardless of how accurate it is, it's su
