Classical music abounds in Walt Disney productions: Fantasia contains animated sequences and narrations inspired by the pieces of classical music playing in the background, whether it be Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring with its history of creation, Beethoven’s Pastoral with pegasi and centaurs or Modest Mussorgsky’s Night on the Bald Mountain with the Chernabog summoning the dead.

Another good example is Sleeping Beauty, with the soundtrack largely inspired by Tchaikovsky’s score, even though several themes were taken out of context.

This is not all, however.

Quite interestingly, there are quite a few shorts centered on classical music, meaning that they actually portray a performance rather than just use a well-known melody as the soundtrack.
