Fantasia (1940 film)/Trivia

Trivia

 * This is the first and only Disney film to have an intermission.
 * Fantasia is the second Disney film out of the films in the animation canon to be preserved in the National Film Registry, having been preserved in 1990. The first being Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (was preserved in 1989), the third being Pinocchio (was preserved in 1994) the fourth being Beauty and the Beast (was preserved in 2002) and the fifth being Bambi (was preserved in 2011).
 * With a running time of two hours and five minutes, Fantasia is the longest of all the Disney animated features.
 * The original Roadshow and Blu-ray releases have no credits of any kind, and it only shows the Fantasia title at the intermission. The 50th anniversary and VHS release have the Walt Disney Pictures logo, the Fantasia title at the beginning, and full closing credits, but don't expect to see this version anywhere else.
 * In 1995, the 100th anniversary of cinema, the Vatican compiled a list of forty-five "great films," with Fantasia listed in the art category.
 * Ave Maria is the only part with lyrics in the entire film. Everything else is instrumental.
