Nice collection. Not sure that I get the idea, or how you can claim this is a "comparison," but whatever. It's all swimmingly enchanting. Just makes me wish I could pop into the past with a negotiable 25-cent piece, and pop back to the future after that.

I have no idea of the origin of this clip. It was given to me on a video tape years ago. I don't know who put it together or who matched up the pictures with the music, so I just put it on here "as is". I don't know if this is how it was shown in the theaters. But it's pretty interesting. I wish I knew more about it.

@RRaquello It's like all these brilliant people were working towards different ends: the typography folks, the graphic designers (recreating what sometimes remind me of stick-in "ex-libris" frontspieces), the over-enthusiastic orchestras and overconfident score-writers. What a circus! The modern-ness of it all just bowls me over.
