Disney's Fantasia 2000 - Firebird Suite
Loading...
Uploaded by ADisneyObserver on Sep 10, 2009
Igor Stravinsky's Firebird Suite - 1919 Version. The story of a spring Sprite and her companion Elk.
After a long winter she restores the life to the forest but accidentally awakes the fiery spirit of destruction (the namesake Firebird of the piece) in a nearby volcano. The Firebird proceeds in destroying the forest and seemingly the sprite. She is restored to life however after the destruction and the forest life is reborn with her after some encouraging from the Elk. The story is considered an exercise in the theme of life-death-rebirth deities.
The animation is based on the May 18th, 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens.
The final tableau is a near analogue of the view of the volcano's crater from "Windy Ridge."

I always jump when the firebird wakes up. I'v watched this at least 100 times and I know EXACTLY when it will open it's eyes but I ALWAYS jump.

I peed myself when the fire thing woke up! ._.

This needs to be remade as a full-length film, singing and all. I'd pay over and over to see that shit.

This song is the most fun to play cause french horns get the low dangerous parts in this!!
-
oh. I get it. The firebird is actually in reference to the phoenix, which dies and is reborn in the ashes.
or, you know, the huge-ass bird that's made of fire.

Screw Hellfire, Maleficent, Night on Bald Mountain, or that bat from The Great Mouse Detective- That Firebird scares the CRAP out of me! I had a freaking heart attack!
