Fantasia The Rite of Spring educational online

Description

Walt Disney and his fellow artists presenting the ballet in its original form as a simple series of tribal dances, they've visualised it as a Pageant.
As the story of the growth of life on earth.
It's a coldly accurate reproduction, of what science thinks went on during the first few billion years of this planet's existence.
So now, imagine yourselves out in space, billions and billions of years ago looking down on this lonely, tormented little planet spinning through an empty sea of nothingness.
Disney's imaginitive re-interpretation of the music to The Rite of Spring features a condensed version of the history of the Earth from the formation of the planet, to the first living creatures, to the age, reign, and extinction of the dinosaurs.
The sequence showcased realistically animated prehistoric beasts like Apatosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and Dimetrodon, and used extensive and complicated special effects to depict volcanoes, boiling lava, and earthquakes.
