MT>BM> Most of us have heard that Disney is working on a sequil to
MT>BM> _Fantasia_ ... I haven't been able to find out what musical
MT>BM> selections will be included (have you?) ...
MT> At the September 1995 Dianeyana Convention we were given a preview
MT> of some of "Fantasia Continued".  The following four segments will
MT> remain: Nutcrackerm Sorcerer, Dance of the Hours, and Night on Bald
MT> Mountain.
Oh goody! My two favorite sections will continue. Ben Ali Gator and
Chernabog are the two most memorable characters created for that film
(no offence, Mickey, you already existed), and I'm glad to hear they'll
stay.
MT> They are adding ... Shostakovich's Piano Concerto #2 (based on Hans
MT> Christian Anderson's Steadfast Tin Soldier [they found some original
MT> Walt Disney storyboards for this]), ...
Let's hope they were worth saving--Walt obviously thought better
material was available at the time.
MT> ... Saint Sean's Carnival of the Animals (A flock of flamingoes
MT> finds a yo-yo [the audiance was having hysterics; the yo-yo seems to
MT> win]), ...
This sounds like a natural!
MT> James Levine will be doing the conducting and Peter Schickele will
MT> be doing the narration.
Not Peter "PDQ Bach" Schickele!?
And what about *your* nominations for _Fantasia 3_?
