Fantasia (1940) - 1947 "Popular Version" Interstitial Footage
The abridged Deems Taylor commentary from the 1947 re-release of Fantasia, the basis of subsequent 20th century theatrical re-releases and the 1990 restoration, and by extension its 1991 VHS/LD release. Not included is the initial introduction to the program and Toccata and Fugue, nor is Meet the Soundtrack. This video is meant to demonstrate specifically the orchestra b-roll footage used in this version and foreign versions based on it.
Video was sourced from an .avi of the UK/Australian DVD, audio from the 1991 LD.

Good and beautiful theatrical version 1947’s of Fantasia
You know, it's funny how wrong an artist can be about his own work. The one composition of Tchaikovsky's that he really detested was his Nutcracker Suite, which is probably the most popular thing he ever wrote. Incidentally, you won't see any nutcracker on the screen; there's nothing left of him but the title.
These segments were from the 1991 vhs/laserdisc version of Fantasia
I like these intros
I watched 1991 vhs of fantasia when I was only three year old
Taylor also worked extensively in broadcasting, and as intermission commentator for the New York Philharmonic. He appeared in Walt Disney's 1940 film Fantasia as the film's Master of Ceremonies, and was instrumental in selecting the musical pieces that were used in the film, including the then-controversial Sacre du Printemps. In the long-unseen roadshow version of Fantasia, issued on DVD in 2000, and re-released on the 2010 Fantasia/Fantasia 2000 Blu-ray release, all of Taylor's voice-over work was dubbed by veteran voice artist Corey Burton. The complete film was originally 124 minutes long, due almost entirely to the fact that Taylor's commentaries were more detailed in the roadshow version, but the original audio elements for these longer commentaries had deteriorated to the point that they could no longer be used, so Corey Burton was selected to re-record all of the dialogue for consistency. The general release version of Fantasia, running 115 minutes, is the version most audiences are familiar with. In that version, Taylor's commentaries were severely abridged.[citation needed]
This is how I remember it
Where is the “Meet the Soundtrack” segment?
Por si no lo sabían esta versión en Latinoamérica se comercializó
Where’s deems Taylor? On the dvd he appears on every introduction. Why can I only hear him but not see him?
From what I understand this is someone else doing the commentary as the originals were either lost or unplayable.
I' have Fantasia VHS edition me too
The orchestra that appears in the interstitial segments of the film is not the actual Philadelphia Orchestra, but rather a collection of Hollywood musicians and Disney Studio employees.
Great movie from 1940 a classic
Is this on the 2000 DVD release?
