MASTER ENGLISH SUBTITLE/SPOTTING LIST

"FANTASIA 2000"

(DEEMS TAYLOR) (voice over)
	It is my pleasant duty to welcome you here...are excerpts from the 
	original "Fantasia", which was narrated by Deems Taylor) On behalf 
	of all the artists and musicians whose combined talents created 
	this new form of entertainment, "Fantasia". (Fantasia: referring 
	to the original 1940 Walt Disney film, a classic combination of 
	animation and music - note that "Fantasia 2000" is an updating of 
	this original film). What you will see on the screen is a picture 
	of the various abstract images that might pass through your mind 
	if you sat in a concert hall listening to this music. There are 
	three kinds of music in this program. First there's the kind that 
	tells a definite story. The second kind, while it has no specific 
	plot does paint a series of more or less definite pictures. Then 
	there's the third kind, music that exists simply for its own sake.
	The number that opens our program is music of this third kind.

Symphony No. 5 by Ludwig van Beethoven
	(Ludwig van Beethoven  :  prolific German composer who lived from 
	1770 to 1827, one of the most popular and influential composers 
	of all time) (note that this is the first piece of music which 
	will be performed in "Fantasia 2000")

	(note that this film is an updating of the original "Fantasia")
	(we see the first animated segment, which is an abstract piece 
	set to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony - following the segment, 
	American comedian Steve Martin steps in front of the orchestra 
	to narrate)


(STEVE MARTIN TO AUDIENCE)
	It's amazing, but many of these musicians are playing for the 
	first time thanks to "Steve Martin's Two-Week Master-Musician 
	Home-Study Course". More about that later. Hello, and welcome 
	to "Fantasia 2000". Over 60 years ago, Walt Disney and his 
	artists teamed with Leopold Stokowski to create a film they 
	titled "The Concert Feature." I think we're all glad they 
	changed the name to "Fantasia". "Fantasia" was meant to be 
	a perpetual work in progress. Every time you saw it, you 
	would experience new pieces along with some old favorites.
	But that idea fell by the wayside...until now. So let me turn 
	things over to Itzhak Perlman, who, I have just been informed, 
	plays the violin. Well, so do I.  Big deal. My violin, please?

	(a musician hands Steve Martin a violin)

	Thank you.

	All right, boys, let's--

	Could I have another stick-thingy?

	(the camera starts to dolly away from Steve Martin)

	And camera back on me.

	Camera back on me.

	Am I done?

	(camera holds on Itzhak Perlman, who takes over as narrator)


(ITZHAK PERLMAN TO AUDIENCE)
	When you hear a title like "Pines of Rome", you might think 
	of tree-lined streets and romantic ruins. But when the Disney 
	animators heard this music they thought of something completely 
	different. Here is the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted 
	by maestro James Levine performing Ottorino Respighi's "Pines 
	of Rome".


(QUINCY JONES TO RALPH GRIERSON)
	Beautiful, Ralph.

(QUINCY JONES TO AUDIENCE)
	Hi. Next we're going to take you to the streets of New 
	York City for a piece inspired by two of my favorite artists.
	First, illustrator Al Hirschfeld, who's been drawing Broadway 
	celebrities for most of the 20th century. Then, composer-songwriter 
	George Gershwin who took jazz off the streets, dressed her up, 
	and took her to the concert hall. My friend Ralph Grierson plays 
	piano on this next number. And it all starts with a single, 
	slinky note on a clarinet and a simple line on a piece of paper.

(QUINCY JONES TO AUDIENCE)
	Ladies and gentlemen, "Rhapsody in Blue".

(BETTE MIDLER TO AUDIENCE)
	Over the years, the Disney artists have cooked up dozens of ideas 
	for new "Fantasia" segments. Some made it to the big screen this 
	time. But others, lots of others, How could I put this politely?
	didn't. 

	(we see sketches for various segments that were never produced)

	For example, Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen drew these sketches 
	for a segment inspired by Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries". Here 
	they are. And there they go.

(BETTE MIDLER TO AUDIENCE)
	Now, Salvador Dali, the limp-watches guy got into the act with 
	an idea that featured baseball as a metaphor for life. How come 
	that didn't work?  Makes sense to me. Then we had a bug ballet
	...and a baby ballet. And they even considered a sequence from 
	Weinberger's "Schwanda the Bagpiper". But, finally, a success.  
	The Disney artists wanted to create a short film based on Hans 
	Christian Andersen's "The Steadfast Tin Soldier". But they 
	could never find the perfect musical match...until now.
	Here is Yefim Bronfman playing the Shostakovich Piano Concerto 
	No. 2 and "The Steadfast Tin Soldier".

(we see the animated segment)

(JAMES EARL JONES TO AUDIENCE)
	These drawing boards have been the birthplace of some of the 
	most beloved animal characters of all time. So it's no surprise 
	that our next segment is "The Carnival of the Animals" by 
	Camille Saint-Saëns. Here, sensitive strains of impressionistic 
	music combine with the subtle artistry of the animator to 
	finally answer that age-old question: What is man's relationship 
	to nature? 

(an animator sketching beside James Earl Jones interrupts him and gives him a note)

	Oh, sorry.

(James Earl Jones reads the note aloud)

	That age-old question:


(JAMES EARL JONES TO AUDIENCE) (reading)
	What would happen if you gave a yo-yo to a flock of flamingos?

(James Earl Jones reacts with puzzlement)


(JAMES EARL JONES TO ANIMATOR)
	Who wrote this?

(the animated segment begins - after the segment, Penn and Teller, a 
team of comic magicians, appear to introduce the next segment - Penn 
narrates as his silent partner, Teller, listens and nods)

(PENN TO AUDIENCE)
	Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like a moment to talk about a 
	little something we call "magic". Picture this.  It's your 
	daughter's birthday party and you've just shelled out $50 
	so some loser can pull a mangy rabbit out of a flea-market 
	hat. At first, you might wonder to yourself, "How did he 
	do that?" But then you'd probably dismiss it as some sort 
	of a trick. And, you know, you'd be right!  It's just a 
	trick! It's an example of what we laughingly refer to as 
	"stage magic". We're here to tell you that all stage magic 
	is a fraud, a hoax, a sham. It's all based on deception 
	and, yup, lying.  All of it! Sleight of hand.  Lies! 
	Transformations.  Fraud! Dismemberment.  Rip off!  Fake!
	All are illusions. We're here to talk about real magic.
	We're going to bring out a guy now who is the genuine 
	article. He taught us everything we know. And he is in 
	the next sequence, from the original "Fantasia" "The 
	Sorcerer's Apprentice".

	Come to think of it, the sorcerer's apprentice is a little 
	guy who never speaks and just messes everything up. Like him.
	And now--

(Penn stops in mid-sentence as he sees the scissors with which 
Teller cut off his hair - Teller quickly tosses the scissors aside)

	And now, "The--

(Teller interrupts Penn to show him the rabbit he has pulled out of a hat)

	Hi, little fella.

	And now, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".

(the animated segment begins - after the segment, Mickey Mouse runs 
up to conductor Leopold Stokowski, who is at the podium)


(MICKEY TO STOKOWSKI)
	Mr. Stokowski?  Mr. Stokowski!

(Stokowski turns to Mickey)


(MICKEY TO STOKOWSKI)
	Just wanted to offer my congratulations, sir.
					
(Mickey and Stokowski shake hands)


(STOKOWSKI TO MICKEY)
	Congratulations to you, Mickey.


(MICKEY TO STOKOWSKI)
	Gee, thanks.  Well, got to run now.  So long!

(Mickey turns and runs across the soundstage to conductor James 
Levine, who is at another podium)


(MICKEY TO JAMES LEVINE)
	Mr. Levine?
	Okay, everybody's in place for the next number.

(JAMES LEVINE TO MICKEY)
	Thanks, Mickey.

(James Levine turns to camera to begin his narration)


(JAMES LEVINE TO AUDIENCE)
	When--

(Mickey interrupts Levine, tugging on his coat - 
Levine turns to him)


(MICKEY TO JAMES LEVINE)
	But we can't find Donald.  So you stall for time.  
	I'll be right back.

(Mickey runs off, searching for Donald - James Levine 
turns to camera and resumes his narration)


(MICKEY) (calling)
	Donald!  Oh, Donald!


(JAMES LEVINE TO AUDIENCE)
	When we hear Sir Edward Elgar's "Pomp and 
	Circumstance" we think of graduation.

(MICKEY) (calling)
	Donald, where are you?


(JAMES LEVINE TO AUDIENCE)
	Actually, Elgar composed it for many kinds of 
	solemn events.


(MICKEY) (calling)
	Donald!


(JAMES LEVINE TO AUDIENCE)
	This march inspired the Disney artists to recreate 
	the age-old story...

(a woman's scream is heard off screen)


(MICKEY TO DAISY)
	Sorry, Daisy.

(JAMES LEVINE TO AUDIENCE)
	...of Noah's ark, with one slight twist.

(Levine hears a knock, he turns to see a shadow of Mickey on 
the back wall as Mickey opens the door to a bathroom - Donald 
is inside the bathroom, taking a shower)

(MICKEY TO DONALD)
	Oh, Donald Duck!

(DONALD TO MICKEY)
	Who is it?

(MICKEY TO DONALD)
	Mickey.  You're on in 30 seconds.

(DONALD TO MICKEY)
	(over scene end)		
	You're kidding!  I'm not even dressed yet!

(Mickey hurries back to James Levine)

(MICKEY TO JAMES LEVINE)
	He's on his way, Jim.  Go to the intro.

(JAMES LEVINE TO AUDIENCE)
	Ladies and gentlemen, "Pomp and Circumstance" starring 
	Donald Duck.

(the animated segment begins)

(ANGELA LANSBURY TO AUDIENCE)
	Walt Disney described the art of animation as a voyage 
	of discovery into the realms of color, sound and motion.
	The music from Igor Stravinsky's ballet "The Firebird"
	inspires such a voyage. And so we conclude this version 
	of "Fantasia" with a mythical story of life, death and 
	renewal.

(the animated sequence begins)

(STEVE MARTIN) (voice over)
	Camera back on me.  Camera back on me, please.

(note that Steve Martin's voice is heard over the Disney logo 
following the end credits)

(STEVE MARTIN) (voice over)
	Anyone?  Hello?

	Hello?

	Could someone give me a ride home?
