Fantasia in Eight Parts: "Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria"

Posted on Mon, 08/27/2012 - 12:00

August at The Walt Disney Family Museum features Walt Disney’s classic Fantasia (1940), a musical masterpiece that features the talent of renowned conductor Leopold Stokowski, and led to the development of stereophonic surround sound. As Fantasia is a feature film made up of eight animated segments, we've taken the film apart to focus on each segment individually. Today, we'd like to present to you the beauty that is "Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria", which was a segment directly influenced by the darker artwork of Heinrich Kley.

 

Fantasia screens daily through August at 11am, 1:30pm, and 4pm (except Tuesdays, and August 25 and 4pm showings on August 24). Further program information and tickets are available at the Reception and Member Service Desk at the Museum, or online by clicking here.
