FANTASIA
By Deems Taylor

This Is the book of Fantasia
Walt Disney's new full-length
feature production. Just as the
movie Fantasia" represents an en-
tirely new departure in the art OF
motion picture, this book is a
unique publishing venture. 1t is
the first Disney book designed for
adults, the first comprehensive
record of Walt Disney's revolu-
tionary contribution to contem-
porary art-painting in motion.
Fantasia" is a sort of symphony
between book covers-a new and
exhilarting form of entertainment
for the printed page-conceived
by Walt Disney and worked out
by him in collaboration with q
distinguished company of writers
artists, and musicians.
The gay, sparkling and informa-
tive text for this book has been
written by Deems Taylor. The
foreword was written by Leopold
Stokowski who conducted the
famous Philadelphia Orchestra in

and melodies.
Fantasia" is divided into sever
parts, each built around a we'll
loved musical work, and eacl
treated in a completely differen
manner.
In the first part Bach "Toccats
and Fugue in D Minor" is visualiz
ed in a whirl Of brilliant abstrac
tions growing out of the form.
Of orchestral instruments. The
second part is Tchaikovsky's "Nut

Dance performed by orchids an6
thistles, and with tropical fish
swimming sinuously through the
exotic Arabian Dance. Dukas's
"Sorcerer's Apprentice" comes next
starring Mickey Mouse in his
greatest dramatic role.
Sections four and five are built
on Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring
and Beethoven's Pastoral Sym
