    Well after the Disney classics of Snow White and Pinocchio it seems Walt had to do something really special. I mean REALLY special! Walt Disney had made a landmark of animation to Musical animated feature with no dialogue. How fascinating is that? The musical themes are: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor Nutcracker Suite The Sorcerer's Apprentice (starring Mickey Mouse) The Rite of Spring The intermission of Meet the Soundtrack The Pastoral Symphony Dance of the Hours Night on Bald Mountain and finally Ave Maria That's all the classical musicals there is. I have only seen the opening number of Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, The Rite of Spring which is scary and the beautiful musical theme Ave Maria. Years ago I've watched The Rite of Spring and when I got older my friend Sam Hudson told me that it is a box office disappointment. I didn't know that it is a box office disappointment when I watch this movie because Sam told me that because of the World War II. Aside from that, this Disney classic is a critical acclaim. The music in this is beautiful just the two Disney classics, it is a achievement of all of us.
