    Fantasia: Rite of Spring

    Fantasia: Rite of Spring
    As for the when and the where, well it tells us. It takes place on the first few billion years of Earth spanning from its creation to the downfall of the dinosaurs. And that brings us onto our final connection of this entry. Due the constraints of this website we’ll place it as 100,000 bce but note it is far earlier pre-dating time.

    Fantasia: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

    Fantasia: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
    Although we’re not given an exact date our old friend Deems Taylor states it’s set “Almost 2000 years ago” which would place anywhere after 59 BCE. We don’t get an exact date in this segment, but in the 2010 live action remake it states the events take place in the year 740 CE which is what we will run with. This means it takes place 1200 years prior to the live action parts of Fantasia. A bit short of 2000, but I think it still works.

    Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

    Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
    Despite the 1930s inspiration for Snow White’s look it also takes inspiration from 15th/16th Century fashions such as the puffed sleeves. So we can assume Snow White lived in the DisneyVerse equivalent of 15th/16th Century Germany. We will round it to the year 1500.
  • Pinocchio

    Pinocchio
    As for when Pinocchio takes place in the 19th century aka the 1800s the film’s architecture and costuming seem to confirm this as well. What period of the 19th century? Well we can’t be certain but the original novel was published in 1883 so we could assume the film takes place anywhere between the late 1870s to mid 1880s, but I believe the film is set slightly earlier around 1830.
  • Fantasia: The Nutcracker Suite

    Fantasia: The Nutcracker Suite
    it takes place over the course of the year 1892 from Spring through to Winter which feels like it speeds past because fairies don’t experience time in the same way as humans do.
  • Fantasia: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor

    Fantasia: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
    The when isn’t as easy to pinpoint as you’d think although the film was released in 1940, filming took place primarily between 1938-1940 so we could place it anywhere between then. To make life easier though we will say the segment takes place around the time of the film’s release so in 1940.
