Both of these (especially the fugue) have abstract animations of the music similar to (although not exactly the same as) those Judith describes.</div><div> </div><div>All best,</div><div>Nicole </div><div> </div><div>NicoleBiamonte</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Sylfaen","serif"">I think the video you are referring to is from Disney’s movie Fantasia (1940), which was in theatrical release in 1963 and again in 1969. There are several movements from the
<i>Nutcracker Suite</i> in the video, with animation, along with <i>The Sorcerer’s Apprentice</i> and other classical music. I clearly recall seeing this movie in a theater when I was young, too. It was not like anything we had ever seen, and I had the soundtrack
album at home, too—one of the few Classical albums I heard before high school.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Sylfaen","serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Sylfaen","serif"">About 15 years ago, the Big Bend Community Orchestra, which I played horn in at the time, did something interesting with the video—we provided the sound of the pieces by performing them live,
synchronized to the images. It was fun for the orchestra members—and challenging—as well as being very entertaining for the audience. That is a community service orchestra made of amateurs, retired professional musicians, and professional musicians playing
on their second or third instruments, and the audience was full of children, some of whom came up on stage for part of the concert to watch and listen from among the orchestra.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Sylfaen","serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Sylfaen","serif"">Anyway, that’s likely the one you saw. I have the Fantasia VHS, but not time now to cue it up and check to see if the video matches your description . . . and Disney assiduously pulls down any
videos from YouTube, so it is not there, though the album soundtrack is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7_udO2jo6k" target="_blank">
