Wouldn't it be worth noting that The Rite of Spring featured in Fantasia? (Schubert, a Good Article, tells us that his Ave Maria featured in that film.) Wouldn't it be worth noting that The Rite features on the Voyager Golden Record? (Pages for Bach and Beethoven tell us that their pieces feature on that record.)
Wouldn't it be worth noting that The Firebird featured in Fantasia 2000? (One thing at a time...) Charlie Faust (talk) 16:11, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- Do you have sourcing to suggest that these uses are significant to the subject? See MOS:IPC. Nikkimaria (talk) 05:30, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
- Actually, yes. Fantasia is considered a landmark, included in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. And the Rite of Spring segment has been singled out for praise, see "How Walt Disney Got 'The Rite of Spring' Right', The Washington Post. (And, as noted, Schubert, Bach and others with pieces featured in Fantasia have that mentioned on their pages.)
- Stravinsky was the only living composer to have music featured in Fantasia. The choice of the piece for the film shows that, by 1940, Stravinsky's music was already part of the canon. Few composers have been as influential on film scoring, and few film scores as influential as Fantasia. From The Guardian: "If it makes perfect sense for musical iconoclasts to embrace The Rite, Walt Disney is perhaps a less obvious creative bedfellow. Yet it’s because of Disney that for many of us, The Rite of Spring means dinosaurs. Generations of people first experienced the music in tandem with Walt Disney’s prehistoric images from his 1940 animation Fantasia. ... Stravinsky claimed to be horrified, but Fantasia brought his music to a whole new audience and kick-started an era in which his music, and The Rite of Spring in particular, became a kind of source book for movie scores." Notably, John Williams paid homage to the Rite in Jurassic Park: he "has returned The Rite to the dinosaurs."[1] Charlie Faust (talk) 13:11, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
