That always make me wonder if "Peter and the Wolf" would been different if it had been made made for a planned "Fantasia 2".

(I went with an NFFC group and our tickets were $22, I think.) And, it is easy to get to the Bowl via public transportation or buses from many satellite park and ride lots. BTW, the two numbers performed that were cut from the film are included on the Fantasia DVD set. Can't remember if they're on the disk with the movie or the bonus disk with the 3-disk collectors set. It is rumored that Destino may be included on an animation compilation disk that is in the works.

That was definitely one of the high points of the night.

Originally Posted By imtigger2 Thanks Doug! Great pics! It was an incredible show. Oh, I caught the entire short film "Destino" on my digital camera. It moves a little here and there (people in the row), but it's in focus and sounds great. I'm actually surprised it turned out so good. Doug.. let me know if you want a copy, and ask Doobie if he wants to put it up with your story. Thanks again! Dan B Carlsbad, CA

Originally Posted By imtigger2 Sure, why not.. Here's the link. Please keep in mind that it's from a hand-held digital camera at only 320 x240.
