THIS IS A 1980s ERA PHOTO COPY PRINT from DISNY ANIMATION RESEARCH and NOT VINTAGE ORIGINAL DRAWINGS.
This is RESEARCH PHOTOCOPY from the 1980s of a page of ANIMATION PUBLICITY ART of FANTASIA from THE NUTCRACKER SUITE
The Nutcracker Suite, a selection of pieces from Tchaikovsky\'s now-classic Christmas ballet The Nutcracker, is a personified depiction of the changing of the seasons; first from summer to autumn, and then from autumn to winter.
As Master of Ceremonies Deems Taylor points out, there is no \"nutcracker on the screen; there\'s nothing left of him but the title.\"
Unlike the original ballet, this version has no plot. It features a variety of dances, just as in the ballet, but done so by animated fairies, fish, flowers, mushrooms, and leaves; no actual nutcracker is ever seen in it.
Many elements are rendered carefully and painstakingly using techniques such as dry brush and airbrush. The musical segments are as follows:
As dawn breaks over a meadow, during the \"Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy\", tiny fairies sprinkle dew drops on every flower and stem.
A cluster of tiny mushrooms, dressed in long robes and coolie hats resembling Chinese (plus a little one always out-of-step), perform the \"Chinese Dance\".
Young viewers insisted that the men who made it must have been stoned
When it was reissued in 1969, with a psychedelic poster, Fantasia was embraced as a ‘head movie’ by the counter-culture.
Young viewers who discovered it in that theatrical release insisted that the men who made it must have been stoned.
Animator Art Babbitt, who brought the dancing mushrooms to life in the Nutcracker Suite segment, remarked, “I myself was addicted to Ex-Lax and Feenamint” – an over-the-counter constipation relief and a brand of chewing gum.
Hard work, not hallucinogens, produced this mind-bending film.
