Fantasia 1940 - The Rite of Spring - Part 2: Evolution

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. The second part starts with the evolution of life on Earth and then focuses on the dinosaurs. 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.

Who else was rooting for the stegosaurus?

Does anyone now want to play Spore?

I'm pretty sure Toho was inspired by this to make Godzilla battle other monsters.

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

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.!
