  • Is it from Fantasia 2000? or the original one?

  • @Thecarbolicsmokeball

    Sorry for my poor english

    It's a deleted idea from the original Fantasia (1940)

  • I can't believe I'm the first American to make a comment on this attempt of Disney to put Sibelius' gorgeous tone poem to image. The first time I saw this on DVD, I think my body temp. and heart rate dropped at least 10 degrees/bpms. I'm a lonely American for loving this since I was a boy. Sublime!

  • This is, quite simply, INCREDIBLE. What I wouldn't do to have seen this fully animated. The art is gorgeous and fits Sibelius's icy score wonderfully.

  • @bgarri57 Yes, you're right! The swan in the original finnish legend is black!

  • I am a lighting designer, i am going to do the lighting for this pieces of music.

  • No existen palabras aun para podes describir esto... es increible.

  • The Cor Anglais-set against the backdrop of tremolo strings-really does bring this piece to life in the minds eye. Amazing scoring by Sibelius IMHO!

  • Beautiful! It's bit creepy but still so warm... Too bad that they didn't use this in final version!

  • This is so beautiful

  • Meraviglioso, grazie !

  • I thought the Swan of Tuonela was black. Maybe the artists felt a white swan would provide a better contrast against the black river. No matter, it's still beautiful and I'd much rather watch these hand-drawn creations (even roughs) over the formulaic computer algorithms that pass for animation today. I would like to have seen Lemminkainen featured here, though. He as sent to kill the swan, but could not...because the swan's sad song overwhelmed him. One of Sibelius' best pieces. Very moving.

  • Take this exactly as it is, no need actually complete it, and run it instead of the live action crap they play on Cartoon Network. That stuff ain't even in the same league as this work of art.
