In 1940, Walt Disney released "Fantasia", the third feature of his studio and maybe his most ambitious project, with a beautiful combination of classical music conducted by Leopold Stokowski and animation. The result is a movie that has been worshiped by every generation.
Yesterday I saw "Fantasia" again, now on the Special 60th Anniversary Edition DVD, restored and remastered with audio in THX inclusive with intermission. The program, for those that have eventually never seen or want to recall, is composed by the following:
(1) Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach.
(2) Nutcracker Suite by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
(3) The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Paul Dukas.
(4) Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky.
(5) Intermission/Meet the Soundtrack.
(6) The Pastoral Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven.
(7) Dance of the Hours by Amilcare Ponchielli.
(8) Night on Bald Mountain by Modest Mussorgsky.
(9) Ave Maria by Franz Schubert.
My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Fantasia"
