“FANTASIA”
AN AMBITIOUS EFFORT. Walt Disney’s next work will be called “Fantasia.” and will run for two hours and a-half—-an hour longer than “Snow White” or “Pinocchio.” Ready for presentation in America next October, it will be Disney’s most ambitious effort and a combination of coloured cartoon and classical music. For the musical part Disney has engaged the co-operation of Stokowski and his Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. When he assisted in the making of “A Hundred Men and a Girl,” with Deanna Durbin, it was known that Stokowski went very thoroughly into the mechanism of sound-reproduction. The result of his researches will be seen in “Fantasia.” Already 450.000 feet of music have been recorded for the film by ' the Philadelphia Orchestra. One remembers the interest Disney took in music when selections from Schumann. Brahms, Tchaikovski and other famous composers were included in the early Silly Symphonies.
