This is strange to watch. I had seen Fantasia as a child, and fell in love with it. To watch this now, knowing it's deleted, stirs something in me, as if I am reliving my childhood in a way, bringing back a piece of it that I didn't even know it was missing. Clair de Lune is a magical piece in and of itself, and to see Disney bring it to life really inspires me. I can see why they cut it; they had a time frame and this isn't the most lively piece of music, but it has a mystical beauty to it.
I really miss this kind of animation and filmography, back when the cinematography got its message across artistically by linking just a few motives, as does the music it represents.
my gosh... i spent this whole thing in tears xD the way the artists used the moonlight is just amazing, I have such a deep respect for the artists of Fantasia
Despite both Walt Disney, and De Bussey both being jerks in their private lives, they somehow "clicked" at a mysterious artistic level here!...I think most of us can agree, that the level of hand-made, truly gorgeous animation displayed here, will never be matched by CGI effects!...and the level of humanistic, touching chordal structures created by De Bussey move most of us to emotional tears of joy, just to be alive in this era...Why are we humans so blessed with creativity, and also cursed with such negative qualities?
Oh, wow! I never knew there was a deleted scene! It's like discovering a secret compartment in a treasure chest! It was so beautiful, the music, the scenery, everything. You can tell it's from a time when animation was an art form, and Disney was its Da Vinci. *sigh* they don't make 'em like this anymore
The arrangement is gorgeous. And the animation is so subtle. It's a pity that there were not more Fantasia movies. This union between animation and music really touches me.
if you cant be moved by either music . theatre . or any part of the arts you have no soul.. this is simply divine and moving to me gods good music enters the ear with the greatest of ease and leaves with the greatest of difficulty
I saw this as a child sometime in the late 50's maybe. It must have been on TV if the scene has been deleted. I remember thinking that the music was the most beautiful music that I had ever heard and told my dad so. This takes me way back...
Daniel Vasquez Are you sure you're not remembering the "Blue Bayou" sequence from "Make Mine Music" (1946)? It used the same animation set to a new song.
Gabriel, you're probably right. The note above says that this was a deleted scene from Fantasia. This IS the scene. It's been so long ago that I didn't remember that the scene was put into another film. Thank you for the correction.
absolutely beautifull!!! Disney was a real genius; it's so well done, the timing and images of the animation are so exactly chosen, the moment when the bird hoovers up and comes down... just as one would dream it to be; he felt the music so well! and I love Debussy: I played this piece a lot myself. Thanks a lot
Wow, that was incredible. I've only ever heard piano versions of this song. With the full orchestra, it has a completely different feel. This performance almost turned it into a lullaby. And the animation was gorgeous...so serene, with just a hint of mystery. Amazing.
Such a beautiful orchestration! Wonderful use of the different tones of the instruments. I especially liked the harp ostinato in the second part of the piece, absolutely sublime!
Fantasia is just about my favorite movie, and I've seen it many times. But I've never seen this before. Pretty amazing to stumble across new authentic Fantasia after all these ages and ages. Thanks.
Fantasia was supposed to be a repertoire film, changing on section each year& rerelease it, this was to be the first replacement scene, yes they did use the animation in Make Mine Music but the music was blue bayou, I watched that movie on VHS shut off sound& played this on my stereo, its a perfect match
I just moved to a whole different time zone and state, because my mother was trying to find herself in new york, trying to be happy etc, i didnt want to come, but she didnt want to be alone, and i didnt want to go to a bad highschool where i was living. this is the first xmas i've ever spent without my grandma, whose basically my mom, my aunt, little sister and cousin. Everytime i listen to this song i remember all the times of pure love we shared together that i left behind. I
I know. it would be nice though. when I watch Fantasia someday, I'll watch Clair De Lune as an extra. it's like when there's a deleted scene in Star Wars is when Han Solo meets Jabba. and it was added in the 1997 Special Edition version of A New Hope. and yeah. I think it sounds like a love song. and when I have a girlfriend soon, I could show it to her.
There’s something mysteriously magical about this delightful and easy to listen to piece of music. It carries you off into another time. Perhaps, one better, than we’re in now. I can’t say anything better than Perfection Aggh
That is so amazingly beautiful. That's one of my favorite songs, and this is the first time I've heard it orchestrated. I normally just hear it on piano. Beautiful animation, beautiful arrangement, beautifully done.
I would have loved to have had this fine piece of musical inspiration performed on electric guitar, perhaps by Jimi Hendrix--who did indeed create some very sensitive, touching tunes. I think he would have made a wonderful alternative work of art, out of this tune...He would often listen to classical music, despite his impoverished upbringing and tough life.
For the life of me I'll never know why they didn't include this. I know the movie was long on it's own, but and additional six minutes, especially when filled with music of this quality, would certainly not have hurt anyone. I'm just glad someone's posted it on here for the general public to enjoy. Brilliant.
Moved to tears I say..such music conveys the human experience where words fail. The symphony of many individuals whose united efforts synchronize so many minds in unison to such a beautiful vision. Like a conduit to the soul. Debussy's moment is felt as such extacy to behold that it agonizes the heart to tears to know the moment like life itself is beautiful to behold from beginning to end. I wish I could have more of this in my lifetime.
Everyone here should read about De Bussey's life and times...he was considered a rebellious musical genius...and he was also quite a narcissist, and seemed to enjoy falling in love with other men's wives!...nontheless, he obviously created some intensely moving, soulful music...as for Disney, most of us have heard of his being quite a ruthless hard-ass with his animators, and not paying them what they were really worth!...and yet, he created so much joy and good entertainment for us "Boomers"!...I guess we humans are just complex, and flawed.
My favorite part is the water scene showing the reflection of the moon and calmly distorts its image from the ripples. Beautifully serene and this piece has become my favorite one since i first saw this.
This is the best thing I have ever seen! I swear its like close encounters of the 3rd kind right now, this is significant to me. its like the combination of everything ive ever know and not know put together into something which i had experienced before i had ever seen it! this is so exhilarating!
This song is so magical it gives me so many emotions. Every time I hear it I am more convinced that it is indeed one of my favorite songs ever composed.
After the video finished I gave a huge sigh! Classical music with Disney's excellent artists= perfection at its finest. I wish there could be another Walt Disney, but idk who can top the best!...
It just completely astonishes me how we aren't the only generation to have had the pleasure of hearing this beautiful work of art, just knowing that people as far as the 17th century danced to this... send chills down my spine. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
As much as I love Fantasia, (I could watch it over and over and never get tired of it), none of the pieces in the film have brought tears to my eyes. However, this one just did.
Many children like myself (yes, I was a child many, many, many years ago) got their first taste of classical music this way. It become a lifeling love............... Thanks for the reminder.
The original Fantasia is already 2 hours long which explains the cut. Don't forget that in those times most films were 90 minutes long with a few shorts before the main feature. Though deleted from the film, that scene was not lost; it was recuperated for "Make Mine Music" in 1946 with a different background tune. This film illustrated 10 popular songs (instead of Fantasia's classical pieces. ;D
How on earth can 38 people NOT LIKE this... It is truly awe-inspiring, magical and so calm and peaceful... They must have no brain cells, or eyes and ears to watch and listen with... Shame, they have no idea what total beauty and majesty they are missing.. Still all the more for us lot to enjoy... :0)X
***** You may not be born yet my friend, but the music is Clair de Lune written and composed by Claude Debussy, and played by The Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Leopold Stokowski in this scene.
Ah, the first video that made it into my favorites playlist almost 14 years ago! It's a shame this sequence never got added into the film. Had it did, it would have been my favorite part of the film next to Ave Maria. There is something tranquil about it. The music, the setting, its just perfect and peaceful.
This piece is so soothing and dreamlike. It's like it serves as a transportation into another realm that calms the soul; this is one reason why I always listen to this piece every night before I go to sleep, because I feel that it prepares me to go into a dream-like state later on into the night.
One of my favorite pieces of music. Interestingly enough, I live in New Orleans, have white egrets flying in my neighborhood but have never seen them at night.
Thanks for posting this... I don't have the newest release of Fantasia that contained this segment. I have it on VHS from back in the early 90's. Debussy is one of my favorite composers and it was too bad it was never included in the original. I think i may need to go out and buy the DVD!
So thanks, TepidShark, for uploading this clip. This piece, along with Giorgos Dalaras' interpretation of Stavros Kougioumtzis' "Μη μου θυμώνεις μάτια μου" are amongst my favourite pieces of music, and it shows. As we say in French, merci très beaucoup.
This piece reminds me so much of my Dad - I can see him in this clip, playing away without all the care in the world. It also brings me back to when a kid, when stuff like this was just, well, magical and more or less carefree, and the family was happy before tragedy struck. This is such a beautiful clip beyond what I've seen, even in Fantasia itself. No matter how many times I play it, I'm always drawn back to the sheer beauty of it, so beautiful that it can't be described in any language,
Imagine being the animators of this missing piece of cultural film art and never being able to know when it would be released, or if it even will at all to the public? The water ripples and glimmering must've taken them several months or even years to produce, having the technology they had back then, or the lack of it. So beautiful. I don't see why it couldn't have been included in the original film... but what a wonderful discovery!
I'm so glad you put this on! I love Clair de Lune, I can't believe they wouldn't have wanted to put that one on the actual movie...I think it wouldn't have hurt to have an extra 6:37 seconds...oh well. I loved when the two birds got together in the end and then flew under the "clair de lune".
To me, the piano is the most invigorating of instruments created. The beauty of the sound is only surpassed by ones interpretation. I think Claire De Lune is immaculately displayed on piano. However, no one can dispute the sheer elegance and rhythmic advance of orchestral overture. I also believe the piece must fit the instrument. The piano version is highly exceptional, but in terms of being immersed in sound, this orchestra is romantic, radiant and priceless.
I love this! I wish it had been kept in the orginal Fantasia. Nowadays, animination is all about the shock value. Thanks for putting this great masterpiece up for all of us to enjoy.
This is really something, I mean... I never even knew this existed. Makes me wonder how many other people don't know about this but they SHOULD! It's one of my favorite pieces and hearing and SEEING it this way just... I don't know why I just can feel tears... It has that perfect Disney charm. What it all was before all of this MODERN CRAP AND FLASH SHOWED UP TO RUIN THE HARD WORK AND WONDER... that... was once Disney...
Actually, De Bussey held back this tune, and spent 15 years tweaking it to his liking, then reluctantly allowing it to be published...he thought his followers would think he had regressed to an earlier style, but his publishers convinced him that his fans would totally embrace it.
I love Philadelphia Orchestra's interpretation of it! Although the original is such a masterpiece, this interpretation(revised for orchestra) is just Great. Clair de Lune. Washes my soul every time I listen to it.
There's something so charming abut old recording..even more so when they're accompanied by such beautiful animation..
Verdade...

I always come back to this version

@Landon Israel definitely, have been using flixzone} for years myself :)
One of the most gorgeous pieces ever composed in the history of the Classical music genre!! Thank you for sharing this exquisite recording!

this really is amazing, i totally agree Disney was a genius. Beautifully done... As usual.
And to think that this masterpiece was made 82-years ago!! What a towering accomplishment so far ahead of its time.
What a beautiful gorgeous masterpiece, kinda sad that they wasn’t in the Fantasia movie
I absolutely love Clair de Lune. It’s such a beautiful but magical song
Such a beautiful orchestration! Wonderful use of the different tones of the instruments. I especially liked the harp ostinato in the second part of the piece, absolutely sublime!

This song never ceases to blow me away. This came from the human mind...wow...it seems too perfect to not be an element of nature.
This is still the most beautiful song I've ever heard. It's really one of the few things that makes me happy anymore. Thank you.
this is heaven in video format

The landscapes are so beautiful! And the music...
Beautiful. Peaceful. Clair De Lune is one of my fave relaxing movements. This video really fits into the music. Good job!

My favourite Fantasia scene of all. Even the redo in Make Mine Music. Thanks for posting!!
Absolutely wonderful!!!!!
This is M U S I C . Disney..please more Fantasia *.*
this is by far one of the most beautiful videos i have seen in a long time. Relaxing, very good!
Wow....... the artistry in this, it's lovely. And all hand drawn, no computers. Why can't the animation of today look this good?

One of my favorite pieces of music. Interestingly enough, I live in New Orleans, have white egrets flying in my neighborhood but have never seen them at night.
I love this clip. Reminds me of my Dad taking his four kids to see Fantasia for the first time at the movie theater. It's a beautiful scene.
I'm only 16, but from when I was 3 or 4, I can still remember watching this. a marvelous piece. there's no forgetting this. my absolute favorite.
I believe that's the best orchstrated version I've heard of this piece... wonderfull and poetic!
Simply beautiful. Makes me want to fall in love.

Oh how I wish they had kept this one in. I want this song played at my funeral. It’s so hauntingly beautiful ❤️
Bach, Debussy and Albonini.....my 3 favorite composers. This music is awe inspiring.
This, which pains me at the realization of true quality and the capabilities of mankind in the expression of beauty through art, inspires.
I love this piece of music...so tranquil,peaceful and relaxin....

aaa now i remember!! yes! I first heared it here.. how sweet movie!! and this little story is soo touching!!
I may be a rock and roll retrohead, but this is on top of my list. wonderful stuff.
This music is so relaxing and the vedio is mesmerizing. Thanks for posting. One of my favorites. Also listen to Libera's version. It's fantastic.
did that, and yes it's a heavenly masterpiece. Imagine the original audience for this beauty, they must have been spellbound ..
Thank you for leaving this video up it means alot to me
I love Philadelphia Orchestra's interpretation of it! Although the original is such a masterpiece, this interpretation(revised for orchestra) is just Great. Clair de Lune. Washes my soul every time I listen to it.
What a combination...Claude Debussy and Fantasia.....
Thousand Bravo to you TepidShark!...
