So all these years we have been duped into thinking that it was an asteroid that killed the dinosaurs?   :)x

You should give it a try - if you like animation. It was way ahead of its time.

Indeed.  I enjoyed The Lion King, but I guess that wasn't of the 'classic' Disney era.

It wasn't, and Fantasia is very special, Disney created several new techniques to make the epic. It's the ultimate piece of escapism, very popular with the psychedelic generation. :)
