I don't like this.. I love this. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful piece with me, it is so sad that it was edited from the film. I thank you for giving me the chance to have it on my favourites. Totally perfect, flawless in every way. This has always been my favourite piece of all time. :-)
I can see why this scene was removed in the editing process. Clair de lune is a great classic music ,but being slow it would of slown the feature down worse
@emalaith29 I am not English-speaking, so the word "flamingo" occurred to me in the previous post. What i meant is that the birds represented in the movie have no nocturne habits
I heard once that disney intended to change in any projection of the movie a scene, to combine every time a different movie and make people say they wouldn't be able to see the same movie twice. It was very ambitious, but then also USA was struck in World War II and the project was abandoned. Maybe this part belongs to those clips who were intended to replace some old ones in the random view - yet it's very beautiful (@xLoliXKittyx and others who were asking, I hope I heped a bit)
@missbs1 nothing was politically incorrect with this part of the film. The part that contained centaurs had a shot where negro-like centaurs served the cocasian-like centaurs, which was offensive to a lot of people so they've removed it in the sixties.
That's so pretty, I like some of the workingwith the ripples, it made it beautiful. The truth be told, I'm disappointed, the problem with editing things like this was kind of stupid...political correctness, the problem is this is part of our animation history that was being censored. Part of history isn't pretty.
I miss my Sasha...I hope not so many moons will have to pass before I see her and the rest of my family again... and while she and the others wait for me to be reunited with them again that they aren't in a dark, sad looking place like the lonely Crane in this clip...I like to imagine them all in a happy, sunny place, filled with sunshine, trees, grass & flowers...Please be there waiting for me - I'll be looking for you all...
This always makes me cry. It was my mother's favorite piece and she played it on her piano often. Every time I lose a family member, friend or one of my "Forever Children", I pray that there is a heaven and that we will be together again. When I watch this clip, I see how many moons seem to pass before the crane is reunited with it's friend. I hope my father didn't have to wait too long (He passed away 10 years prior to my mom) and that his wait wasn't in the sad cold darkness. <3 U Sasha..
It's a gorgeous piece - it looks like a moving Impressionist painting. Brilliant concept. I wonder why they didn't use it for the start of "Fantasia 2000" - beginning with the great Disney past and moving us into the present...
Ah, well. At least we got to see it, and I love that they used one of my all-time favorite pieces of music as well.
@CrzYpRsOn770 Even though i enjoyed the segments in the latter, i wouldve preferred no celebrity hosts and jokes. If they end p making a third one, they better stick with one host and make it a good one.
Fantasia is truly the greatest Disney movie. Sure, Lion King and Sleeping Beauty are still great, but nothing compared to this. The amazing thing about Fantasia is that it tells u a story and takes your breath away... without words! It can make you cry, laugh, get destructive, and many others, with just animation and the wonders of music. It shows good vs. evil, how the world started, the tales of a forest, and even a greek haven!!! This is truly the best Disney film. Thumbs up if u agree!
Seriously? what happened to Disney? I remember a time when Disney was cutting edge, high above anyone else in the industry. They made masterpieces that still live on to this day as being the best slices of animation the world has ever seen. Disney was magic, my childhood is full of wonderful memories due to these pieces of artwork. They should really look back on what they achieved and try harder these days!
I can see why they chose this one for removal. The scenery is pretty, but the whole thing is really quite boring. Had it been included, it would have been the low point of the film.
@Abranime18 It was cut due to length of the movie, which was already over two hours in length. It was later used for the movie, "Make Mine Music" but the music was changed to "Blue Bayou."
thumbs up if you agree, they should release the full, complete, unaltered cut of fantasia, including the deleted scenes and the black cenetarette. changing fantasia to be "politically correct" is just as stupid as making greedo shoot first or walkie-talkies instead of shotguns. people should not rewrite HISTORY. so what if it will be much longer? what's wrong with long movies! so what if there was a racist-steryotyped black cenetarette in some scenes? we dont care if a 1940 film was a tad racist
@CHAOSin8bits Wow, you speak for everyone? Oh, I guess you speak for 13 people. And this isn't rewriting history. I agree with Roger Ebert on this matter.
@CHAOSin8bits I think the Avenue Q song is spot on. We'd have an easier time living with each other and less hateful behavior if we'd all just RELAX and quit being so d*mn sensitive about everything.
@DJHashBrownies It's very beautiful and well animated but it doesn't quite fit the style of the other stories and was probably cut for time as well. The birds are drawn very realistically but this makes them not as expressive as the other characters in this series of Fantasia. Sure you see the first egret all by itself but you don't really get a good sense of it being alone and looking for love (And then in the end meeting up with another bird)
The music and animation together make it wonderfully soothing to watch, especially before bed (something I like to do every so often!). Someone mentioned this a few pages back already, but it really does make you feel as if you can take in the fresh summer night air here. Which in turn, makes me feel oddly nostalgic.
A beautiful piece and animation but to be honest I do see why it was cut out. Looking at the ones that were chosen they make more of an impression and have a greater "presence", if you will, than the others.
@classicalhero7 I do think Clair De Lune sounds much better just on piano, do a search, watch the one with the colors....best piece of music ever heard.

I LOVE YOUTUBE!!!,MEMORIES RUSH BACK OF A SCARED KID SITTING IN THE THIRD ROW OF THE RIVOLI THEATRE SPELLBOUND..NEVER HEARD CLASSICAL MUSIC BEFORE..MY EYES ARE FULL, SO MOVING,,
Shame it wasn't added. I think this scene would have been a great contrast, taking a different direction from the rest of the film. It is on par with the rest of fantasia and I love it as much as any other scene in the movie. It is incredibly relaxing, the music and artwork. You feel for the bird and his loneliness, then comes a friend. The animation is superb, you can almost feel the summer night here.
Beautiful. The music is perfect, though much of the animation is a bit rough. I wish the ripple effects could have been finished. Whoever animated them was doing a great job. I can see why they chose this scene to cut, though. Compared to the others, it's quite slow and sleepy, and wouldn't hold much interest for kids, the target audience.
@rfresa dont you realize that this was made in 1940 and that clair de lune is a LULLABY? so if they had made it faster it wouldnt be clair de lune. the animation is absolutely phenomenal given the time period. I think this scene would have been a great contrast, taking a different direction from the rest of the film. you feel the peacefullness of the water, the loneliness of the crane, then the happiness that friendship brings.
Fantasia has to be easily the most under appreciated Disney movie ever made. There's not a single movie to date that I can think of that has such an impact without words.
@pixie16stix - I agree is is wonderful... Have you seen Baracka? That is an amazing, powerful movie without words, or at least without dialogue or plot.
Another great Disney (or, Cy Young -headed) animation. Taken from nature / careful study of real egrets and herons, only slightly unreal in motions now and then.
Natural grace with artistic license added, and much more than just a copy from a film clip too.
Add Stokowski's lush scoring and conducting, and you have something more than words.
@punkrockr827 Let's not be over dramatic here dude.. I personally love Claire de Lune but just because they didn't like it doesn't mean they don't have souls.. I mean geeze let people have their own opinions will ya. It's the only thing that keeps us from being mindless robots.
The conductor Leopold Stokowski is performing his own orchestration of this famous Debussy piano piece.No wonder the great Rachmaninoff proclaimed the Philadelphia Orchestra as the greatest ever.Uncommonly beautiful performance!
this is one of my favorite pieces but i like the traditional piano version better than the orchestra version. i am shocked that they took this out of fantasia. this is an absolutely beautiful scene!!
@Tobimar I agree. But they said on the bonus disc that was featured with the original DVD release of "Fantasia/Fantasia 2000", Disney was considering releasing "Clair De Lune" as a short subject even after it was cut from "Fantasia". Also the footage was used a few years later in "Make Mine Music" with an original song called "Blue Bayou" (obviously not the Roy Orbison song) sung by The Ken Darby Singers.
i know alot of people are speculating of how most kid loves HSM and Hanna montana and not the classic? i have to admit tho if i was there age i probably would too when these kids reach maturity they will come to really understand beauty and artistic achievement and grow out of msh and hanna just like i grew out of listenign to britney spears, justin timberlake ect.
This isn't a deleted scene from Fantasia. The audio recording of Clair De Lune has been added to this animation. The animation is called 'Blue Bayou'. It's from a compilation of music-animation scenes called Make Mine Music. It's a little like Fantasia.
Is it true what they say in the movie "fight club" with brad pitt that the cigaret burns from the "video monteurs" apears on the band... watch upper right corner at 5:51...
I know it sounds pretty weird to talk about "fight club" under this beautiful Disney production... me neither, I do not understand why they have not put this in fanasia...
Is it true what they say in the movie "fight club" with brad pitt that the cigaret burns from the "video monteurs" apears on the band... watch upper right corner at 5:51...
How in the world did Disney go from creating beautiful pieces of animation and music like this to the crap-tastic "art" they call Hannah Montana and junk? Oh how the mighty have fallen... and they fell HARD. :(
@donoraen No actually Walt's initial successors were afraid of making stuff that he might not have approved of. Then along came Michael Eisner, who only cared about the bottom line (boo!! hiss!) and Anne Sweeney who turned The Disney Channel into "The Dismal Channel" (also boo! hiss!).
@Persona100Duh I really dont think anyone who works on hannah montana considers it art nor do I think they try to pass it off as such. If anything youre just trying to sound cynical for the purpose of sounding intelligent which is only revealing the fact that youre quite the opposite.
@bloodypages And that's all well and good and you may call me 'cynical' for the mere sake of 'acting intelligent' but I'm merely providing my point of view on the fact shows being produced, by any major company, are, to me, shows that feel as though they're slapped together with nothing to stimulate my mind with. And, also, I HAVE heard people call that show "art", even if the creators don't believe it to be so. I think you're just trying to argue with me--my comment wasn't meant to be cynical.
@Persona100Duh I really dont think anyone who works on hannah montana considers it art nor do I think they try to pass it off as such. If anything youre just trying to sound cynical for the purpose of sounding intelligent which is only revealing the fact that youre quite the opposite.
@Persona100Duh they have merely been conformists amongst the changing times. They are no longer pushing the boundaries. Which is truly a shame... I guess Walter is too old nowadays.
@maniacguitar It does feel that way, doesn't it? Disney is very much becoming what you stated and I agree wholeheartedly that it's a real shame. -sigh-
@BorisCr Money does talk and that's part of why it's so depressing; people, both the marketors and the consumers, no longer seem to care about thought-provoking or imaginative pieces, they just want the money. So disappointing. -sigh-
it's obvious. Disney is dead, the man I mean. He was an artist, but he also made money, though his artistic integrity remained. when he died, Disney became a corporation and created a monster. basically, they have the rights to his artwork and make a profit by whoring themselves with actual whores.
@Persona100Duh: it's a sign of the times. sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to survive. unfortunately, hannah montana and all that stuff is what sells today
@Persona100Duh What about Fantasia 2000? I agree completely that cartoons in general have just... gone south but occasionally there's still some good. To be honest I think we should got back to the humor/plot/animation styles of the 80s to early 90s cartoons.
@AngelicMousey This wasn't intended for Fantasia. It's a segment from Make Mine Music. And someone's edited and replaced the music with Clair De Lune. The clip is called Blue Bayou.
I suggest you watch Make Mine Music. It's similar to Fantasia.
@rudjoe I was wondering about that, because the bits at the start with Fantasia's orchestra are just shots from the opening bit of it with a different color and don't match the music.
why would they cut this piece!? I love this piece,but I must say I prefer it on piano, seems much more personal and intimate. Impressionism was/is wonderful.
Utterly magnificent in every way - and this was cut from the film - that's how good Fantasia really is!! Watch this again and think about the fact that the Disney animators were so far ahead of their time and so brilliant they created this film using 1930's technology and invented some of their own no doubt! Disney was also responsible for introducing countless children like me to the beauty and wonder of classical music!
It's funny...I grew up with Star Wars...and more recently I was impressed with the visuals in James Cameron's movie Avatar. Today, I was "blown away" by this ignored & almost forgotten classic. I never bothered to watch it in the past, but now I'll seek it out and watch the entire film/animation. Despite 7 decades of technological advancement, no one in recent years (IMHO) has yet produced anything even remotely close to Fantasia - in terms of its artistry, beauty, music, depth etc., etc.
they had to cut it out because the film was too long. when the film had its premiere nobody watched it and then they started to cut out many things and change the reader (bad english, sry!) and so on. then the film became famous and later they searched for all the old things they deleted or cut out and now this scene is a "bonus" on DVD.
Most of the classical music I've heard came from Fantasia. Wish they left this song in the movie. The only place I've heard it was in the first Twilight movie. So now that I hear this song, I think of the lead Twilight actors dancing. *shrugs*
just far, far, far too beautiful...... if I was the poorest person in the world, I would become the richest upon watching / hearing this amazing duo of animation and musical score. I like to think that music is our connection to every living creature .... we all can hear/feel what it does to us is.
I know it's good and all, but for kids? I think not. I'd think twice before letting my kids watch racism in this film, along with brainwashing subniminal messages like the rest of his films.... shame, such amazing music. But ye, the shit thats on nowadays is just as bad really...so were screwed either way! :D WOOP!
fantasia was really all the good stuff for children to be influenced by and enjoy in one film =) nothing beats the pink hippos dancing to the nutcracker ^.^
I don't like this.. I love this. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful piece with me, it is so sad that it was edited from the film.

@centipeeds4always I am glad that Disney kept the scene in his vaults so that, one day, it could be released and appreciated by others.

@Tobimar I agree. But they said on the bonus disc that was featured with the original DVD release of "Fantasia/Fantasia 2000", Disney was considering releasing "Clair De Lune" as a short subject even after it was cut from "Fantasia". Also the footage was used a few years later in "Make Mine Music" with an original song called "Blue Bayou" (obviously not the Roy Orbison song) sung by The Ken Darby Singers.

i know alot of people are speculating of how most kid loves HSM and Hanna montana and not the classic? i have to admit tho if i was there age i probably would too when these kids reach maturity they will come to really understand beauty and artistic achievement and grow out of msh and hanna just like i grew out of listenign to britney spears, justin timberlake ect.

brb1006 1 year ago
This isn't a deleted scene from Fantasia. The audio recording of Clair De Lune has been added to this animation. The animation is called 'Blue Bayou'. It's from a compilation of music-animation scenes called Make Mine Music. It's a little like Fantasia.
I like how they've added Clair De Lune.
But the original is the original.
is the original.

@Persona100Duh I really dont think anyone who works on hannah montana considers it art nor do I think they try to pass it off as such. If anything youre just trying to sound cynical for the purpose of sounding intelligent which is only revealing the fact that youre quite the opposite.
bloodypages 1 year ago
@bloodypages And that's all well and good and you may call me 'cynical' for the mere sake of 'acting intelligent' but I'm merely providing my point of view on the fact shows being produced, by any major company, are, to me, shows that feel as though they're slapped together with nothing to stimulate my mind with. And, also, I HAVE heard people call that show "art", even if the creators don't believe it to be so. I think you're just trying to argue with me--my comment wasn't meant to be cynical.

@Persona100Duh
it's obvious. Disney is dead, the man I mean. He was an artist, but he also made money, though his artistic integrity remained. when he died, Disney became a corporation and created a monster. basically, they have the rights to his artwork and make a profit by whoring themselves with actual whores.

AngelicMousey 1 year ago
@AngelicMousey This wasn't intended for Fantasia. It's a segment from Make Mine Music. And someone's edited and replaced the music with Clair De Lune. The clip is called Blue Bayou.
I suggest you watch Make Mine Music. It's similar to Fantasia.
rudjoe 1 year ago 2
@rudjoe I was wondering about that, because the bits at the start with Fantasia's orchestra are just shots from the opening bit of it with a different color and don't match the music.

Utterly magnificent in every way - and this was cut from the film - that's how good Fantasia really is!! Watch this again and think about the fact that the Disney animators were so far ahead of their time and so brilliant they created this film using 1930's technology and invented some of their own no doubt! Disney was also responsible for introducing countless children like me to the beauty and wonder of classical music!

It's funny...I grew up with Star Wars...and more recently I was impressed with the visuals in James Cameron's movie Avatar. Today, I was "blown away" by this ignored & almost forgotten classic. I never bothered to watch it in the past, but now I'll seek it out and watch the entire film/animation. Despite 7 decades of technological advancement, no one in recent years (IMHO) has yet produced anything even remotely close to Fantasia - in terms of its artistry, beauty, music, depth etc., etc.

they had to cut it out because the film was too long. when the film had its premiere nobody watched it and then they started to cut out many things and change the reader (bad english, sry!) and so on. then the film became famous and later they searched for all the old things they deleted or cut out and now this scene is a "bonus" on DVD.
