What's depicted in this sequence is probably closer to what happened during the Permian-Triassic extinction event which took pkace before the dinosaurs evolved. We have reason to believe that the continents as we know them today did not exist then and that there was only one massive supercontinent. Such a huge land mass without large rivers and lakes to provide moisture through evaporation to later fall as rain would probably be mostly desert (similar to Australia but on a much larger scale) and that would cause many species to die off due to lack of sufficient water supply.

Millions of years pass, and all that remains are footprints and dried bones. Only silence rests over the eternity. They've all long since perished. Millions more years pass, and the tectonic plates begin to thrust, swallowing up the remnants of the deceased dinosaurs, as though they never existed. That part always angered me and broke my heart.

Earth was just as barren and lifeless as the other planets. Our moon was 17 times closer to earth then, glowing red, and filling up the entire sky, nearly. Any closer, and the gravitational pull would have reeled the moon right toward earth.

Nice interpretation, but I still think Stegosaurus should have won the battle by the way the spikes hit that carnivore hard. They have found Allosaurus bones with puncher holes in them that fit the spikes of the Stegosaurus indicating it used its spike tail to defend itself against predators. the way the tail struck the carnivore should have given him a few fatal wounds that would have given him the clue that this pray is dangerous and run away. But I still like your interpretation.

I adore the part where the allosaurus/tyrannosaurus is marching along in the midst of the other dinosaurs towards extinction, previously a fearful apex predator, but now just as weak and helpless as the ones who once where its prey against the forces of nature. Gives me chills

It’s a mastery that back in the early 40s with no computer whatsoever they were able to make this whole piece (and the entire movie) What especially amazes me is how the lava looks almost alive in a sense but there is no discernible human like features. Well done Disney, well done.

They're eating and drinking from water, and existing in places with it. It's shown they cannot live without it. That life cannot thrive without it. Then, when the extinction comes, there's no water. Only heat and chaos once again. Once they all die, chaos unfolds from the Earth and then water comes back as a reset. Showing that everything is a cycle, and life will once again evolve and thrive if given the chance. I think it's a really cool bit of artistry, and this is one of my favorite animations of all time. Not to mention how charming and fascinatingly alien the outdated depictions of life are. It's so mesmerizing. You really feel like you're in an alien world for a while.

this portion of fantasia will always be my favorite. the animation, the score, it's all so incredible

Despite this film coming out in the 1940’s the animation holds up really well today despite the inaccuracies think about it this is land before time levels of animation it’s really a shame that animation has gotten pretty terrible nowadays I mean those dinosaurs look like they’re real despite it being 2D animation and it’s in the 1940’s it’s still pretty damn good

Let’s not forget that the t rex wasn’t existent until 80 million years after the stegosaurus. An animation with humans and t rex is ironically more accurate than one with the stegosaurus and the tyrannosaurus. Most likely it was meant to be an allosaurus, which did have three fingers.

I will be honest to say that this is my absolute favorite segment within Fantasia. When I was younger, I was stuck to the screen with it's fantastic (albeit inaccurate) representation of prehistoric life. As I got older, it still has not lost its touch with me. I've actually listened closer to the music and the music helps with the representation. It's quite mad, really. I then decided to watch a full rendition of the original score of Rite of Spring and I was surprised at how groundbreaking it was. Compared to other scores which feel very linear and progressed to a point, this score had such dissonance with tone and rhythms would abruptly change, which is very unique. Going back to this segment, a lot of people rank this as their least favorite or they don't know what to feel about it. Which is a shame because this is a roller coaster of a segment. My theory is that because some of the segments, not all but some, have a very linear feel to their stories, this one doesn't and as a result they a bit taken aback by the changes and have the feeling of, "There's dinosaurs and then they're gone, WTF?" The composer's intent, as stated by Deems Taylor (the host of Fantasia), was to express life in it's primitive state. It's full of craziness and full of abrupt beginnings and ends. So I think they succeeded in that regard, even if they weren't totally faithful to the score. Also, you feel like an observer of life, as you're floating through the vacuum of space, the eruption of volcanoes, all the way to the emergence and extinction of the dinosaurs. You aren't meant to connect to it emotionally but simply see what life might've been like if you could go back in time.

This was always my favorite of Fantasia, I also like the Greek one.

Favorite sequence of the entire film

I see people saying the fight scene terrified them the most as kids, but honestly? I always thought that was cool. You know what part really terrified me? The extinction. That absolutely horrified me. Especially how the earthquakes and tsunamis destroy the bones after, leaving no trace of their existence.

This was the scene that started a life long obsession with dinosaurs when I was a kid. Saw this before Land before time.

I absolutely adore these older reconstructions of dinosaurs. I know people know a days really hate looking at them and can't stand the inaccuracies, but I love them. They seem like creatures right out of a fairy tale, and they honestly look much cooler than the more accurate reconstructions of today. I'd like to see something nowadays be done where these older designs make a comeback, to pay tribute to the adventure films of the '20s and '30s. Hell, maybe a remake of the 1925 lost world movie would be a great idea. I am personally not a huge fan of this movie, but this segment (And arguably the ending one on bald mountain/Ave Maria) has my attention. I love how there's no dialogue, no sound effects even, we're just watching animals in their habitats. I'm not saying I want a full movie like this or anything, but I just find it fascinating here. My favorite part has to be the Elasmosaurus's swimming in the shoreline. I know it's inaccurate now and they have the outdated neck posture, and couldn't go on land, however it gives off a perfect atmosphere.

Thought of something kind of dark. Imagine what the last dinosaur was thinking at the last moments. Sees a t-rex coming up behind him and the last dinos, thinking he's gonna get eaten. However he sees the t-rex drop dead of thirst. Then one by one he sees the last of his kind drop dead. I always thought he or she would be mentally broken at that moment think, "Oh god I'm the Last one left. What the hell do I do?" Kind of Dark to think of.

Exceptional music and animation. You can feel genuine tension and fear in the tyrannosaur fight, as well as a bizarre but nice, warming feeling of an older earth. That alien-but-familiar feeling is only amplified by the nostalgia I've held for this film. It's like meeting something/someone you've met before, but can't exactly pin it down.

It's really cool seeing how far our understanding has come.

As much as I critique the inaccuracies in this scene (which I can forgive since this was made in the forties), I still think this is an excellent piece of animation featuring dinosaurs. I was getting Walking With Dinosaurs and Walking With Beasts flashbacks the last time I watched this. I like to think that this scene may have been an inspiration for kids to study dinosaurs and other aspects of prehistory.

This is one of my favorite animations of all time

I have no memory of Night on Bald Mountain, but I *VIVIDLY* remember this as a kid, not in a traumatic way, but in a pure fascination way. I'm pretty sure this is what sparked my interest in dinasoars and prehistoric animals as a whole.

The scenes where the T Rex and the Stego are just staring at each other while the hyper tense, quiet music plays in the background are fucking terrifying.

Yes, it's amazing to consider that the film is 80 years old. Even more amazing to me is that the music is 110 years old.

This is an absolute work of art. I would have liked to see a little shrew-like mammal emerge from a dinosaur skull as a symbol of ushering in a new era. One thing I love is the design of the feathered dinosaur at 12.20, scientists weren't even thinking like this 30 years ago, never mind 82!

Although a bit anachronistic, I find it amazing that we now are closer in time to the T-Rex than the T-Rex was to the Stegosaurus. That shows how many millions of years dinosaurs actually lived. 😳

It’s weird to think that Rite of Spring was only 25 years old when production started on this film. This was basically contemporary music.

Tha IS really weird. Even I knew Stravinsky was alive during its production yet I had believed by then he was an already an old man long famous from his prime years and Disney was homaging someone in their golden years. But that makes sense. This film came out during the forties and that piece was out in the early 1900s. So this would be kinda like the equivalent of us making the film Heavy Metal back during the 80s again today as a reboot, using popular rock and pop radio tracks from only the past 10-30 so years. Or more accurately, if we had made a film in the vein of Heavy Metal or Fantasia, and we used for the soundtrack a bunch of vintage old songs from the 1930s or even the 1890s, and THEN chose to stick a single 1970s disco song in there.

As a bassoonist, I have been working on this solo for I think 2 years now. It’s one of my favorites and it’s amazing to play

Now this is what I call an epic. In just a little more than 20 minutes, it shows the creation of the universe, the birth of a fiery Earth, the evolution of life, and the dawn and fall of the dinosaurs. And despite how dated the dinosaur designs are, their scenes are still tense.

Loved The Rite of Spring a lot because I'm a dinosaur lover. I read in Disney Wiki that The Rite of Spring was first scripted to show the whole history of Earth which after the dinosaur extinction would show the Ice Age with woolly mammoths, saber-tooth cats and cavemen, but it was cut because the Disney company soon discoverd showing the rise of man wasn't all that popular back in the 40's.

This probably was the first time dinosaurs were portrayed in their own time and environment. The idea that this probably inspired authors and directors like Steven Spielberg to make their dinosaur stories

That opening riff.. chills. Nothing comes close.

As a kid I was most locked into the dinosaurs. As an adult I am more intrigued with the volcanoes erupting in unison before exploding in a super eruption, volcanic gasses spewing from a cinder cone and igniting, mountains and rock faces violently rising from crushing tectonic plates, and then it all going quiet and fading into the darkness of a solar eclypse. Bravo!

phenomenal animation drawn by hand. amazing music that supports the animation perfectly. truly a masterpiece.

I used to watch this as a little kid in the early 90's its crazy today is the first time i've watched it again. I remember this and Night on Bald mountain being favorite.

I was born during a dinosaur revolution (1996) but I still grew up seeing the paintings of Charles Knight and watching this. For a while I didnt want to see any outdated or inaccurate dinosaur media. But looking back now, these outdated depictions played a part in inspiring me as a kid and I love them.

80 years later and still one of my favorite sequence

To me, the T-Rex attack wasn't nearly as nightmarish as the dinosaur extinction. You even feel bad for the Rex.

3:17 For these volcanoes, they were actually made from drops of black paint that were turned upside-down in a vat of water, which is how they developed smoke patterns. The music in the background in this scene sounds pretty tribal, which is like the sound of Native American drums beating. And the volcanoes are kinda like teepees with smoke coming out and that's what the song What Made The Red Man Red from Peter Pan reminds me of, because this whole volcanic scene, here in the Rite Of Spring sequence in Fantasia, makes me think of tribal music and tribal dances.

I kinda wonder about that supposedly being the reason. When you think about it, it'd be very odd that creationists would have pitched a fit about depicting mankind's origins, when you consider that the Rite of Spring ended up depicting several scientific theories that led to mankind's origin. It shows everything from the cosmic beginnings of stars & planets across the universe, to the Earth's surface formation and the start of life in the ocean, and then to how life evolved from cellular organisms to full on animals that would eventually lead to us. If creationists & religious fanatics were that bad in 1940, I doubt Fantasia could've ever gotten away with depicting what it did in the final product. I personally believe it's more likely that Walt Disney simply chose to go in a different direction for artistic purposes than the fear of creationists throwing a fit.

Every segment in Fantasia told you a different aspect of a life experience. This segment was really about the forces of nature and shows that not even the strongest can match earths power.

The whole sequence of the right of spring was so unsettling to me. The whole time, I was on edge yet so fascinated
