What's left behind the scenes
- It took 9 years to create the animated film.
- A special computer program was written to depict the water in the episode "Pinewoods of Rome".
- The first full-length animated film in IMAX format. Disney sold exclusive screening rights to IMAX theaters only on the condition of a limited release (4 months) and for half of the box office revenue. Since not all IMAX theaters were willing to agree to these terms, the film was not shown in all of them. One such refusal came from the California Science Center in Los Angeles, so Disney built an IMAX theater there specifically to showcase this film, and then demolished it after 4 months.
- In the étude “Rhapsody in Blue,” George Gershwin himself (1898-1937) appears – a slender man playing the piano in the window above Rachel.
- With the exception of Pixar films, the étude “The Steadfast Tin Soldier” was the first instance in the history of Disney animated cinema where tin characters were a product of computer technology from beginning to end. The humpback whales in the étude “Pines of Rome” are also computer-generated, but their eyes were hand-drawn. This was done because the equipment available to the filmmakers at the time did not allow them to create sufficiently expressive eyes for the animals. By the time it came to creating “The Steadfast Tin Soldier,” this problem had been solved, and all the computer characters in this episode have quite expressive facial features.
- The original “Fantasia” cartoon from 1940 was created all at once, whereas in this case each étude was created separately in between working on other projects. Work on the first étude, “Pines of Rome,” was completed in 1995, and the last was the étude about Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony (1770-1827).
