I wonder how many kids became afraid of Jack' in the box's because of this. Music was just right 4 the genre, namely the fact that it was about semi anthropomorphized toys.
I like the original story of the "The Tin Soldier". The Russian version is good too. Different audio though. It's called the "The Brave Tin Solider". Very sad ending just like Hans Christian Andersen wrote it. Of course, Disney wouldn't put the real tragic ending. Disney didn't even put Hans' ending of the "Little Meraid", and all she did was turn into foam in that version (Grimms was like falling off a cliff or something more gruesome). -sigh- Wished they put the real whole tale on screen.
@takahirosakuraii yea, i have the originals and its quite annoying its been changed. mainly because its not staying true to the authors original words. disney always has to make it a happy ending. i liked the original 1940s fantasia, least it had a bit of gore to it e.g. the dinosaurs bit. think they are getting too soft lol
@th3kill3rbunny I mean, why not stick with the originals? I mean there are little kids out there getting plastic surgery. I think they can handle a bit of tragedy and gore. Happy endings will one day ruin little childrens lives, making them think that life is that grand. I have the original fantasia collection as well on VCR (video tapes) :3 the dinosaurs bit wasn't that gorey; they were always soft to begin with.
I like the original Tin Soldier too. In this one, the ballerina is also in tin and the soldier and the ballerina burn into the fire. When they were melted, there was a tin heart.
@takahirosakuraii What's wrong with hoping for a happy ending? The Disney renaissance saw a transition from happy endings given to happy endings earned, and that is quite the step forward.
I like the original Tin Soldier too. In this one, the dancer is also in tin and the soldier and the dancer burn into the fire. When they were melted, there was a tin heart.
I really love the animation in this segment. It's a perfect blend of 2D's characteristics (especially on the facial animation) & 3D's smooth graphics.
disney always make their endings happy since in the real story it didnt have a happy ending neither did the little mermaid but disney is the happiest place in the world lol!
Haha jerk in the box..ive always loved this story watching this reminds of how i was toy story before toy story!? anyways awesome to watch with my daughter this time round
I always liked this fairytale, one of my favorites out of the whole book of them my aunt had. When I saw it on Fantasia I kinda ruined it for my brother by talking about it too much while it was playing, cause I was over-excited :p
@djuro20 quite possibly nothing. The demographic that would typically be interested in this sort of thing knows exactly who each of these people are. Besides, as far as well known actors go, James Earl Jones and Angela Landsbury are two of the best this century. And nobody does magic like Penn and Teller.
This was my FAVORITE peice out of all of them when I first saw this film when I was 5 or somthing. I remembered every note, and this brings back so many memories
To be honest I prefer Disney's ending on this, the ending in the orginal story is too grim for children in my opinion and it means that the baddie has won and as a general rule baddies should never win.
oh my gosh i remember this story! My grandma had a seperate animated movie of this story (which included the sad ending) that was narrated by Christopher Plummer. Wow, major childhood flashback, thanks Disney!
i cried when the tin man died, al he wanted wus sum love man =`( also i cried when the little girl with the lucifers died... nobody cared and left her too die on the streets snif
This is one ending where I don't mind the change. I understand why the Little Mermaid had to die. I understand why the Little Match Girl had to die. I do not understand why the the Tin Soldier and the Ballerina had to die. I know I should be angry at the change, but I just wanted these two to have their happy ending.
This segement is my favorite in the whole movie. Just the way the music matches the movements of the characters shows how much time the animators put into this.
i think my favorite segment from this one is rhapsody in blue or pomp and circumstance, from the first one it would probably be night on bald mountain or the rite of spring.
In the original story, the end is a little bit diffrent: the soldier came back to the castle and the dancer, in the morning, the maid opened the window for a while, a flurry took the soldier and the dancer to the oven where both burn. After cleaning the oven the maid found a little clump of iron in formed like a heart and in the middle was a little peace of the skirt. So the soilder and the dancer are together, for ever combined.
great movie i just don't think i was ever able to sit in my downstairs and watch the whole thing, i think i was maybe 3 when this came out so it was kinda hard to watch
I agree with jecka1021. Disney really changed the endings of some of Hans Christen Anderson's fairy tales. Sooner or later, more people will have to know the real endings of some of his fairy tales.
Disney, of course, changed the ending to make it that beloved Disney ending that we all know and love but it is actually a very sad story. But Disney did turn this into a wonderful way to tell their version
Yeah another good thing about these movies is that it's than the sort of thing you can make fun of without getting away with it.I mean make a youtube poop with this,make a video making fun of it you instantly have ALOT of enemies.And I mean ALOT.
Combining classic literature with classical music, with the magic of animation...if only other mediums tried to do something interesting like this too...video games, I'm looking at you...
The original ending is very poignant and always makes me cry...I am usually a purist but although I love the real ending to this story, it was nice to see the soldier and ballerina get a happy ending this one time.
This isn't actually the ending.... Pretty sure that in the end the soldier gets knocked into the fire and melts into the shape of a heart, and then the ballerina is blown by wind into the fire as well, and the spangle on her belt melts into the center of the heart.
@letsgoskitzo yeahh, at the end the boy throws the soldier into the stove, then the ballerina is blown in after him. All that's found is a little tin heart and the dancer's spangle, all burnt up. Not exactly the Disney-perfect happy ending.
Very LUCKY for him it's ironically 'a small world'
For him to go through the sewers, get eaten by a fish and end up as dinner on the table of the house from which he had originated from! That's definitely a big coincidence- Right?
when i first saw that picture @0:29 i was like wtf is that? a few years later and i STILL dont know what the heck it is xD..... while you guys are cheering for the jack and box to burn in the fire think about the other toys that were lost in this film... the toy boat and those little bloocks that were also burned in the fire and tossed out the window.. and does anyone else but me love soldiers crooked smile? ;D
@Koolkat197 have you seen "Destino"? I managed to find the whole thing somewhere on the net (can't recall).. but you could see a few clips of it on youtube at least... it was meant to be for the first Fantasia and that didn't happen, however they did decide to complete the idea not too long ago (first premiered in 2003). Haha anyway I have no idea what those crazy looking creatures were but we could watch that short animation and have an interpretation..
I know the original ending for this story but can somone tell me the original ending for "The Little Mermaid" I saw it in the comments and I got intrested.
@glitchmastaz10000 The prince falls in love with another girl and and the mermaid was supposed to kill him. But she did into and jumped into the ocean and turned into sea foam.
@Hotiechic101 But this is not the end yet. After her body turned into foam, the little mermaid sees herself among the daughters of the air, who tell her she had become a spirit of the air thanks to her good heart.
Those of you hoping for a another Fantasia DON'T disney SUCKS ever since hanna montana and we don't want to be dissapointed! But if Disney and Disney Channel work seperatly or something then yes another Fantasia would be Great!
This is wrong. The original story was meant to show that being steadfast, or conforming and passive, ultimately leads to one's demise. You may like this ending more, but that's not the point of Anderson's fairy tale! His fairy tales makes you think, makes children think! How can they change the moral of the story and call it an Anderson's tale, seriously.
@MichaelShi8 calm down. If you haven't notice, that's how Disney roll. Didn't the Beast eat Bell in the original? Didn't Esmeralda die in the original? lol, we can only assume why they aren't making a Pocahuntas 3.
@manthasagittarius hey even if they did keep the original ending, still, children would be sobbing over mufasa's death and the death of littlefoot's mother (I know the land before time wasn't disney, but still, it had children crying tears the size of the nile
In orchestra class, we were watching this movie so we could learn to actively listen to music. One of my classmates said that this one was sad. I don't see anything sad about it...
How can people listen to music like this and say classical music is boring? On another topic: If this were today, the ballerina would be a stripper at least part time because no ballerina can find work today and the tin soldier would be sucking us dry through social security disability.
Yes. If you read the book or watch some of the original short films the dancer and the soldier die together. In fact, I think they get thrown into the fire and they form a heart from the melted metal.
@marialee330 Well the tine soldier forms a metal heart when he dies, and the dancer, all that was left of her in the real thing was a burnt flower. :'( I like the sad way better.
still, music tells a different story, and it shows. that piano concerto is not incidental music and the animation should be adapted to the music, not the other way around. all in all, it's a very nice animation though...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I was disappointed with Fantasia 2000.
They should break the mold and be avant garde by using more modern instrumentals like Bowie's 'Crystal Japan', Dead Can Dance's 'Yulunga', Secret Garden's 'Adagio', Nine Inch Nails 'Downward Spriral' or Clint Mansell's Requiem for a Dream'.
They should extend the songs or link them. Such beautiful melodies could inspire brilliant fantasies beyond your wildest dreams.
Disney was about breaking new ground. Classics thrive in every era.
I just enjoy it for what it is: another piece of fantastic Disney animation of a classic fairytale, set brilliantly to the wonderful music of Shostakovich.
I love this story and song SO SO SO SO SO much. <3 <3

How can people listen to music like this and say classical music is boring? On another topic: If this were today, the ballerina would be a stripper at least part time because no ballerina can find work today and the tin soldier would be sucking us dry through social security disability.

Nyehh..They gave it a happy ending.

Yes. If you read the book or watch some of the original short films the dancer and the soldier die together. In fact, I think they get thrown into the fire and they form a heart from the melted metal.

@marialee330 Well the tine soldier forms a metal heart when he dies, and the dancer, all that was left of her in the real thing was a burnt flower. :'( I like the sad way better.

still, music tells a different story, and it shows. that piano concerto is not incidental music and the animation should be adapted to the music, not the other way around. all in all, it's a very nice animation though...

Hard to believe that we went from beautiful stuff like this to crappy shows about teenagers in only 11 years...

@IsaacH1273 The Tin Solder was around long before tv was invented, long before the brain behind Toy Story was even a sperm.

@IsaacH1273 LOL at that. Hans Christian Andersen wrote the Steadfast Tin Soldier in 1838.

I was disappointed with Fantasia 2000.
They should break the mold and be avant garde by using more modern instrumentals like Bowie's 'Crystal Japan', Dead Can Dance's 'Yulunga', Secret Garden's 'Adagio', Nine Inch Nails 'Downward Spriral' or Clint Mansell's Requiem for a Dream'.
They should extend the songs or link them. Such beautiful melodies could inspire brilliant fantasies beyond your wildest dreams.
Disney was about breaking new ground. Classics thrive in every era.
