  • I was just rooting for the triceratops to escape. Sorry bout the Stego :(

  • lets look at this skinny, long legged struthiemumus and make it slow and dragging its tail

  • This movie influenced many things. My understanding of the use of musical dramacy (dont know if that word exists, sorry im german). And the dinosaurs of course.!

  • amazing that this was made more than 70 years ago, my grandfather remembered seeing this in the 60's and it was then thought to be old, well now, 50 years after that, it still holds up to him

  • This is fucking poetry.

  • my inner child is reminded that this is what got me interested in dinosaurs, the teen is pointing out the flaws in a 1940s film and the adult is saying "this will still be the gateway for children into dinosaurs and classical music for about 10 years at least" thank you disney

  • When I was a boy, I always remember thinking that the Pteranodons looked like nothing so much as old men wearing spectacles and opera capes. I still think they do.

  • @CountTentacula Wow now thats what i call fantasia! Great childish associations :D

  • ZUM ZUM ZUUUMMM!

  • If that nautilus killed the fish ( 1:40  ) then all dinosaurs descended from that fish would not exist.

  • @Pikazilla Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

  • why didn't they help him, instead of waching ;[...the kinda makes me mad lol

  • @ShadowFx16 why would an unintelligent creature risk its neck against one of the great predators? what benefit would it gain?

  • @nicktaxidermy he wanted to pick a fight I guess

  • 3:40 That part made me jump!

  • I love the symbolic mass extinctions.

  • i just wanted to see an epic fight. that was pretty epic

  • haha..6:43

  • It must have been so much fun for the animators to think how the dinosaurs would've moved.

  • 1:32 nom :3

  • Does anyone now want to play Spore?

  • 6:55 - 8:48

    Damn nature, you scary!

  • When I was a Baby when I saw this the first time I was scared of the T-rex scene

  • When I saw the T-Rex bite the Stegosaurus I was going like That's gotta hurt!!!!

  • nature is an incredible thing

  • Why didn't the herbivores just gang up on the T-Rex?

  • @dchowwow cause maybe they didn't like the Steg.

  • @leegeorgeson That is because unlike those creatures, Dinosaurs WERE REAL....

  • OK A In the Fantasia 1940 film the Dinosaurs are the same but except they have different colors and B The Music sounds that same but different then this one

  • watched this at school when i was about 5 years old and when that dinosaur got killed i was so upset! I held back tears for the whole day then when i got home cried for about an hour to my mum about it. hahah i guess thats what you get for showing fantasia to 5 year olds ... man up!

  • Those dinosaurs are so out of date

  • i like how the dinosaurs are standing there watching the t-rex kill the other one and then they just casually walk away when it's dead.... so weird.

  • @GoGojiraGo So true!!!

  • god damn Trex!!

    when i was a kid i was hoping for him to die..

    but no.. no one would help..

    now i need to go to a psychologist

  • HERE COMES THE BIG BAD T-REX!!!!! 

  • Dang, I do not remember this movie being so Flipping Terrifying!

  • Who else was rooting for the stegosaurus?

  • @Yazora We all were, me included.

  • @Yazora And all the other asshole dinosaurs were watching LOL

  • @Yazora I was rooting for the T-rex, even though he still scares the shit out of me. :)

  • @Yazora I was for T-rex.

  • @Yazora

    I was hoping the T-rex would go against a Triceratops instead

  • One looks... puts its head down. Another looks... they all start looking. . . DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN I'M THE T-REX BITCH!!!

  • I always felt so bad for the stegosaurus, the poor thing couldn't fun faster than a turtle. and he actually looked scared ;_;

  • I love this segment!

    

  • i never saw this movie before and now i am so glad i had the guts to watch it ;) thx for the uploadin!

  • The reason they won't re-release Fantasia 1940 has less to do with Disney's hatred of the public domain and more to do with their hatred of evolution.

  • @iobjectifytom actually the re-released both fantasia's not long ago for dvd and blue-ray...but I think this segment is better in the dvd, with blue-ray the enhanced it so much that you can see thed ark colors of the dinosaur's instead of looking black...which makes this segment to have a darker tone wich looks way better.

  • Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

  • I liked when I saw the t-rex, in my head I yelled run because the music somehow told me that that's what they should do.

  • For the 1940's, this was f'in amazing! They had to build on the little real information they had with imagination. This movie is so much more artful than movies they make nowadays...

  • I cried when the T-Rex killed the stegosaurus : (

  • I'm always amazed at the fact that this came out in 1940. 1940 people.

  • 3:39 Pwned.

  • I have to give Disney credit for what was undoubtedly a contraversial subject in 1940.

  • T-Rex had 3 fingers in this when in reality it only has 2

  • 3:37 - 3:40

    Karma is a bitch .w.

  • When I was 6 years old I found thi T-Rex more scarier than Jurassic Park's T-Rex .w.

  • 6:49 RUUUNNNN IS GODZILLLAAAAAAA

  • Also they drink funny.... Like when they drinking out of the pond I as like, woah.....

  • I watched this whole, deep movie, and I thought many interesting thought. You know what these thought were? Hehehehehehe Dinosaurs.....

  • Just stopping by to see if anyone wants to have a creationism vs evolutionism discussion/debate?

  • @imaiburntr  i'm really impressed with the lack of evolution v. creationism debate on this webpage. almost redeems my faith in humanity

  • @Orenda7 Why are the memories bad?

  • i love how the others watch like some king of stadium game. I think I saw one eating popcorn.

  • The teenager in me is pulling his hair out at the many, MANY biological, behavioral and chronological mess-ups.

    The adult in me is reminding him that this was 1940, and they knew far less about prehistoric life than we do now.

    And the kid in me is telling them to be quiet and watch the awesome dinosaurs.

  • @GoGojiraGo I'm with the inner kid on this debate.

  • @GoGojiraGo I lobe your comment because I feel that way too. :)

  • @GoGojiraGo LOL same here.

  • You're all going to hell.

  • Baby dinosaurs = cute as hell

  • I love how it is just as if the T-Rex is saying MU-AH-AH with the music when he's done. Though this piece was written dozen and dozens of years ago

  • Hey, wait a second! Stegosaurus and T-Rex didn't live together. They Lived in defferent times. Stegosaurus lived in the Jurassic, while T-Rex lived in the Cretaceous. Even Dimetrodon lived during the Permian.

  • This was my first introduction to evolution as a kid

  • man I LOVE the part 2 intro from Stravinsky. it sounds so simple but the music sheet is a different story :) what a great mind. and what a great scene

  • T-Rex is the best forgotten disney villian, no one mentions him ever but he is awesome

  • it's interesting because from the original Opera, Rite of Spring, this main section was also highlighting death. Sacrificial death to be exact, of a tribal women in the story. New life, hardships, beauty, tranquility and death were part of that scene from the opera. As we can see here it's also evident in this clip~

    Quite interesting, inDEEEEEED.

  • The crazy part is how real this seems. Many have theorized that evolution truly began when the very first amphibious being decided to step out of the oceans and take a breath of oxygen on dry land.

  • All in all, I find that Dinosaurs are more fascinating than the MADE up monsters like Krakens, Dragons, Torrosques, Griffins, Sphynxs, Chimeras and the like :)

  • @leegeorgeson I totally agree!

  • @MorteIncarnata A documentary I saw at the NGC speculates that the belief in dragons and similar creatures

    originated from people of centuries before the science of paleonthology. The people of those times found what we would call fossils. Naturally they didn't know the T-Rex or the stegosaurus, so they imagined what those creatures might have been. 'tis not from nothing that dragons look so much like T-Rexes with pterodactyl wings.

  • @belianis Another theory is that dragons are the "racial memories" of our ancestors and their three most prominent predators: birds of prey, large snakes, and big cats. The wings and clawed talons of raptors, the long scaly bodies of snakes, and the four-legged stance of cats merged into the idea of the dragon.

    Of course, it doesn't really explain Wyrm- and Wyvern-type dragons, and why every single civilization throughout time had dragon stories.

  • @MorteIncarnata Personally, I think both dinosaurs and fictional creatures are both fascinating! Scientists have also discovered evidence that dragons might have existed in the time of dinosaurs, Not for sure, just maybe! If you don't believe me, look up "Dragon vs. T-Rex" on YouTube!

  • @Videoroamer1

    I'd like to agree with you, but that was a TV special about a fictional scenario of finding a dragon's corpse in the Carpathian Mountains. They created some educational guesses about the possible origin of dragons from that idea, but the clip you saw was from that fictional tv special. I wish it were real though.

  • @SitaraAleu Really? Sure convinced me that it was real! I have always been fascinated by both dragons and dinosaurs. Are you sure you saw the right one?

  • @leegeorgeson errr DRAGONS aren't made up, pal!

  • @leegeorgeson If you think about it they are one and the same. Finding fossils of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals most likely inspired ancient humans to come up with the beasts we see in mythology and fairytales. It's all really quite fascinating.

  • @CrystalRaye That actually makes perfect sense..

  • @Entrayalicious It's almost certainly the reason why virtually every culture on Earth had dragons in their legends, even though many of them never had contact with each other.

  • @leegeorgeson Dinosaurs were probably the inspiration for those ancient nightmares. They dug for gold, silver, and copper then just like now. It seems logical that they may have come across some dinosaur bones. What must ancient people have thought at the sight of such things?

  • @leegeorgeson Whats a Torrosque?

  • @Sevv921 Of course and if that happened the Allosaurus would run away, but nature does not work that way. Morality stems from a logical need to scratch one anothers back. However fear and the natural lack of intelligence in most dinosaurs prevents them from going out of their way to help someone they don't even know. Humans do that NOW I mean who stepped into Cambodia, Rwanda or Darfur? NO ONE! :(

  • while it lacks on accuracy this is really good animation!

  • There are dinosaurs in Chanson, the home of the Mouse-people in the world called Éowyn

  • It was no T-Rex at all! it was an Allosaur!!

  • 19 creationists hit the dislike button.

  • I had a dream once were the dinosaurs kept throwing their eggs at each other. It looked like this

  • @Peenut2k7 Whatever your on, I want some :)

  • @leegeorgeson I didn't take anything, I just have a thing for wierd-ass dreams.

  • Its ok. The T-rex may have brutally killed the stegosaurus but keep in mind, when the therapods die, their bodies become the plants. And the herbivores eat the plants. All connected, in the great circle of life.

    Two of my fav Disney movies lol

  • Does anybody else think that the triceratops @ 7:14 looks like a dinosaur version of Arnold from The Magic School Bus? For some reason, I always thought so.

  • I remember watching this as a wee tot and thinking "OMGOMGOMG DINOSAURS!!1!!one1!!!"

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

  • first part is pretty creepy second part get used to it and then fall a sleep.

  • that t-rex was desperate o.o

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

  • look its barney

  • does anybody else think maybe it's not a t-rex but an allosaurus? it has 3 fingers, that and the allosaurus was more likely to attack it's prey like this one is doing with the stego - unlike the t-rex, which they say was more of a scavenger (hence the tiny, 2-clawed arms which weren't very good in an attack situation).

  • @filmwolf9000 I absolutely agree. That was something I had wondered when I first found out about Allosaurs and Tyrannosaurs back when I was little.

  • @filmwolf9000

    idd

  • those blue things with the tentacles remind me of the final form of Metroid Prime from the video game of the same name.

  • I love this part of Fantasia. It always gets me in the way that I'm always rooting for the stegasaurus, hoping he'll come out ok. Sadly, I'm disappointed everytime.

  • La musica dei primi tre secondi prima che arrivi il T rex mette i brividi e anche quando fa TAN DAN DAAAAAAN.. quando ammazza lo stegosauro...

  • the triassic has always fascinated me the most...

  • It's a good movie for the 1940's, but you can see that they didn't know as much as we do now from dinosaurs. For example, the t-rex stands to erect. The t-rex in Jurassic park is a better example of how a t-rex should have looked. And the t-rex and the stegosaur didn't live togheter. The stegosaur is from the 'Late Jurassic Period' and the t-rex from the 'Cretaceous Period'. But than again, who cares, it is still a very good movie and I enjoy it everytime I look at it.

  • Dude...idk about you guys but I'm sleeping with a nightlight on tonight.

  • Poor old stego...

  • Why do you call it a T-rex ? It has 3 claws.

  • @TORNAD078 It is a T.rex, but Walt Disney said it looked better with three claws instead of two. 

  • @CoolCarlos1985 It's still a badass XD

  • Definetely, with no doubt, the greatest animated achievement of all time and one of the greatest movies ever made.

  • That T-Rex is such a troll.

  • the T-Rex scene was always my favorite when i was a kid. i just found it so exciting and cool

  • T-Rex or not, that's one badass dinosaur.

  • I've always been Fasinated with Dinosaurs.

  • its not a t rex looks more like a megalsaurus to me

  • @adamdd09 Dude ,a megalosaurus wouldn't grow that big and powerful compared to that theropod on the vid.

  • @TORNAD078 well not in size i'm purely relating to looks. the snout is broad and short while a t rex had a longer and narrower snout

  • Wtf all those spikes for no reason psh

  • A very good animation musical movie it brings back a lot of memories. :)

  • @TheAtlanticDan

    I know that they did/do! I was just saying that neither Disney nor Stravinski support it because they made this and this includes dinosaurs. >:(

    Read carefully, child! >:(

  • @Sevv921 yes, easily. In real life T Rex didn't want to risk too much harm to itself or else it reduced its affectiveness as a competitive predator with other theropods. Even if the T Rex were suicidal, it wouldn't matter. A tricerotops alone was a formidable opponent but with the weight and spikes, these other animals would easily overpower it, even though some of them had already gone extinct long before T Rex evolved.

  • Stravinski and Disney do not support creationism.

    Sorry to the believers.

  • @AuroraCelest Stravinsky ends with a 'Y' you massive twat.

  • Little kids probably thought they were wrestling and the Stegosaur got tired and went to sleep lol

  • @HardRock2Day I saw this in pre-school and cried when the stegosaur diedXD

  • I cant help but wonder.... do you think any of the species before homo sapiens, dolphins, and elephants, ever approach our sentience? and lol please no jokes about how people are morons! I want an honest answer

  • @dchris1990 no

  • Best dinosaur fight ever!! as Comic Book Guy might say on the Simpsons! People say today's dinosaurs in today's movies are more accurate but none of today's movie dinosaurs has the imagination and dramatic tension of Fantasia"s Rite of Spring!! The battle to the death of the Stegosaurus and the Trannosaurus Rex( both of which come from two different time periods) is a classic! And then the dinosaurs walk to their death(extinction)! Makes Jurassic Park"s plot seem all the more stupid next to it!

  • @Sevv921 Lol I suspected you meant just that. I have no idea what on Earth could turn a bunch of herbivores into a horde of bloodthirsty psychos, but if that happened, I think they'd be physically capable of tearing that poor T-Rex to bits!

  • Probably largely thanks do disney, I got into contact with this beautiful piece of music as a young kid through watching this animated film. This was my favorite part of the film. Great animations that go magnificently with the music. Nowadays I'm still completely loving this classical piece. Although I must say, this old version sounds... A bit too fast sometimes. There are more subtle and epic versions of the sacre du printemps out there nowadays in my opinion :-)

  • Disney was magnificent in producing this animation to go with this AMAZING piece of classical music. Thanks to them, I got into contact with this bit of classical music many times as a kid. I absolutely loved and still love it to bits. Although, I must say, this version of the sacre du printemps nowadays sounds a little bit bulky compared to others :-)

  • I heard that when Stravinsky composed this song somewhere in Europe during the 1920's, people broke into a mad riot and started stabbing and punching each other because their minds couldn't take what was being heard. And it's surprisingly supposed to be a very seductive ballet ahaha. Thumbs up for Stravinsky sending people into a riot!!

  • When does the section, "Omens of Spring" begin?

  • ah the good ol days, when plesiosaurs went on land, dimetrodon lived with dionosaurs, and all the dinosaurs lived at the same time :)

  • Someone needs to let the herbivores know that the T-Rex can't see them if they don't move : P

  • @krharris1990 Is that scientifically true, or have you been watching too much of Jurassic Park?

  • @ThePoison27 I have no clue! I was just referring to the movie, and I somehow doubt that it's a scientific fact. How would a scientist prove this anyway?

  • @krharris1990 Maybe, but nothing can stop it from smelling them

  • @krharris1990 That theory has been discredited!! He can STILL smell them!

  • @krharris1990 Someone needs to let the folks know that it's an Allosaur, not a T-Rex. Note the 3 fingers, Rex only had 2 XD.

    Plus, Rex never hunted Stegosaurs (jurassic period). But allosaur probably did.

  • @legionbeast On the other hand, Triceratops didn't live in the same time period as Stegosaurus SO I DUNNO

  • @Flygontrainer Too true. Too true. I was going to make metnion of that, but I had already posted by that time.

  • is this for children? stravinsky is genius

  • 3:40 DOUBLE KILLXD

  • This should be in 3D.

  • Did you know the music in the right of spring (when T-Rex shows up) was the insparation for One Wing Angel aka Sephiroths theam?

  • @TheMormonSorceress That is not true, in an Interview Mr. Uematsu stated that One Winged Angel was based off of Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze AND The Rite of Spring. Purple haze was inspiration for the "Bum-Bums" in the intro and TRoS was basically the rest of the song, But you just need to completely state your facts

    have fun listening :)

  • @johndoyle15 Sorry about that. No one perfact. But still it's inturasting

  • When I was a little kid, I cried when the dinosaurs died. :(

  • @Sevv921 are u sure that's a t-rex becasue he has 3 finger so it could be an allosaurs

  • @DanNZ4 T-Rex was thought to have 3 fingers before, remember?

  • 6.50 onwards (of the dinosaur scene) used to scare the hell out of me!!

  • @waterbaby405 Totally. This used to freak me out when I was little.

  • lol fail at 4:39

  • Loom at those Yucky Scary Looking Amebas,Euglenas and Other Scary Kinds in the Beginning

  • As a kid, I had absolutely no appreciation for this piece (aside from perhaps the t-rex scene). Watching it for the first time as an adult, I'm finding that it's actually pretty engaging and enjoyable now that I understand what it is I'm watching.

  • I think they have no reason to gang up on the T-Rex and risk their lives to help a Stegosaur. It would only make sense if they were all Stegosaurs themselves, and members of the same family/herd as the Stego being attacked.

    But since they are all different species, to them, the death of a hunter (the T-Rex), is not necessarily preferable to that of another herbivore (the Stego).

    While hunters are dangerous as killers, herbivores can be equally dangerous as competitors (for food and territory).

  • @MorteIncarnata i agree with you. if i may reference The Land Before Time (the original): they all kept to themselves because they are different. Makes perfect sense why a stegosaur wouldnt receive helo from anything other than another stegosaur. this is just musing on my part...but i digress....i love fantasia lol

  • @torterra619 That segmat in Fantasia was the insparation for the land before time y'know.

  • @torterra619 how interesting! well it makes sense i suppose. they're bith wonderful in my opinion.

  • @MorteIncarnata Animals instinctively protect their own and themselves only, that is where morality comes from, an ingrained instinct to scratch another's back. But still, even Human beings make the same mistakes in big crowds. A woman can be getting raped and people just look on or even cheer...

  • 3:40 = OWNED
