Cinema was an extremely rare treat when I was small (no TV untilI was 11, either) so I still remember being taken to see Disney’s Fantasia when no more than 4 or 5.
A vivid memory of that has always been the Rite Of Spring sequence, with Stravinsky’s score accompanying the story of evolution - at least up to the end of the dinosaurs. I still remember my father explaining the bit where fishes evolved into land animals. He must have been very good at explaining, since I understood at once.
But the Night On Bare Mountain bit was always very scary!
Dds always loved the Pastoral Symphony bit - and I swear that’s where whoever it was got the idea for my Little Pony!
