WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Thursday, Jan. 26 at 7 pm, the Clark Art Institute screens Walt Disney's "Fantasia" in its auditorium. 

 

The showing is the second event in the Clark's Film and Drawing series, inspired by the exhibition, "Promenades on Paper: Eighteenth-Century Drawings" from the Bibliothèque nationale de France.

 

According to a press release:

 

"Fantasia" (2 hours) illustrates animation's connection to the embodied, lyrical quality of drawing. When released in 1940, Disney studio's third feature film was a technological marvel, introducing stereophonic sound to the masses. A musical fantasy extraordinaire and a study in contradictions—refined, yet gauche; experimental, yet corporate—Fantasia lives up to its name.
