Brilliant. A supposedly spontaneous, positively orchestrated and rehearsed, light musical moment, inserted to reassure the audience that it was ok to enjoy all the other "heavy" music on the program. Disney, and his organization, have consistently shown this kind of genius, in every medium, at every level.

This song played in my head when I was on painkillers while hospitalized for an SBO once. This was then, and still is, extremely pleasant to listen to.

For those who are wondering, the tune was Bach Goes To Town made famous by Benny Goodman.

That is one of my favorite parts from Fantasia. That's where I first heard Swing Jazz when I was a little kid. It is catchy.

This is really great for a film made back in 1940.👍🎥

Don't be surprised, Conley. That was the high noon of the swing era, and they knew how to make music in those days.

Am I weird to find this one of the best parts of the movie? :P

TomSwervo1 No, Tom, you’re not. :) It’s bits like this that remind us that the folks producing these rich and complex pieces of music can still play what feels like an impromptu and that makes them people, just like us. A wonderful way to call the audience back after intermission, back when movies had that sort of thing.

Me too.

Fantasia has stood the test of time very well. All the live action footage still looks brand new. You would never know that this film was released in 1940.

There’s a difference between this jam session and the forced comedy in the sequel! This is such a heartwarming moment in the original Fantasia, just something that feels so classic and timeless before getting to the next segment :)

They sure know how to jam.

"Oh Yeah !" Lol

Fantasia Jazz

I don't even think it was planned either. They look a quick break from the rigors of the movie.
