Was Fantasia invented for people on hallucinogens?

I finally entered the new age as I bought a HD TV and blu-ray disc player this past Friday.
The difference is like night and day over my 20 year old 27" CRT based TV.
I was watching Fantasia (not blu-ray, just standard DVD) this afternoon and started to think "I could get lost in that movie" if I were to watch it alone while on shrooms.
I'd actually like to see someone cut and paste sections of it so as to remove all the "editorial" from the guy that looks like a conductor.
Just get into the music and visuals for the entire length of the movie.
I wonder if the people that made that movie were stoners way back when?

Some people involved with the project may have been psychedelically inclined, but I think it was made for anyone to enjoy.
That was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, before I knew anything about drugs.

The portion of the film where the disney animators put the Devil and his league of ghouls and demons would most probably freak me the fuck out on psychedelics. It is quite unnerving sober.
But everything until that part, especially the nutcracker scene is serene and should compliment a trip well, what with the great music selection and spectacular animations.
Its almost like being spoon-fed synesthesia.
I have a high-quality dvd-rip of Fantasia on my external hard-drive.
If you would like, I would gladly edit it for only the animation scenes and cut out the conductor, then host it for download on rapidshare or mediafire or something....

I doubt it.
More likely it is to present classical music to children in a way that is appealing to them.
I tried to watch this movie on LSD once... and a quarter of the way through I ended up just closing my eyes and listening to the music while watching the CEVs. There are some great compositions featured in that movie.

I would seriously appreciate that my man. I hate seeing evil stuff on mushrooms.
Let me know if you do it.

Fantasia is a result of Disney being turned on to the powerful psychedelic effects of mescaline. Here's a link and excerpt you might find interesting.
Quote:
By 1936 Disney was taking mescaline on a regular basis and as a result his most famous work appeared: “Fantasia.” In 1940 it became a staple of American cinema, the year it was launched. While “Fantasia” appealed immediately to children, its adult understanding did not develop until the mid-60’s, years after Black Mountain College ceased to exist. What happened, of course, was that the hippie generation (the cultural grandchild of “Wander Vogels”-“The Wandering Birds”- the German youth after World War I, in a disenfranchised state) was the first group to recognize “Fantasia” as the first American “stoner movie.” What was still not understood was that the entire ensemble was also a vicious satire in the tradition of Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) or Francois-Marie Voltare (1694-1778).

Disney was one of the people in America who was tripping during that time. Like I said he was getting high on mescaline during the 30's and that was what inspired him to create Fantasia.
