I wish that Disney had gone ahead with including the sketched "Swan of
Tuonela" (Sibelius) segment of _Fantasia_.  Could have been beautiful. 
Don't know if it would have changed GG's negative opinion of the film,
though.

Last night on Jeopardy!(*) the final category was Composers, and the clue
was: "When Disney's 'Fantasia' was released in 1940, he was the only
living composer whose music is in the film."  One player guessed
Shostakovich, another guessed Strauss, and the third got the correct
composer: Stravinsky.
