Fantasia 1940 - The Rite of Spring - Part 3: Extinction

The Rite of Spring from Disney's Fantasia. Stravinsky's omonimous score was supposed to be about primitive human rituals, but Disney's animators took a completely different inspiration from it and decided to tell the history of Earth up to the extinction of the dinosaurs. The combination of music and animation is perfect. This third and final segment is about the extinction of the dinosaurs due to some kind of global drought and the subsequent rebirth of Earth. Please comment and rate. Thanks.

Update: No creationism vs evolutionism discussions here. You can say what you think in the "IMVHO" form. In any case, this page is about Fantasia, Disney, Animation, Art and how awesome dinosaurs are.

[MorteIncarnata]

@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!

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.

@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

@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.

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?

@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

[Visnu2007]

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.

Wonderfull! who's the conductor?

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.

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

[Berserkedy]

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