@@RubyCarrots3232 While I do get why that would be considered more risky, blood and gore shouldn’t be the only thing that makes something scary. Because if that were the case, then Jeff the killer, sonic.exe, and a bunch of other generic creepy pastas, would be held as horror masterpieces. But hey, I won’t judge too much; if you think blood and gore makes something scary, that’s fine. You be you, I’m just pointing out that dark kids movies, or horror in general should rely more on concept and execution. Rather than the bare minimum.

[@DaveFisher-cq2dr]

@@KisekiTim is that when the theory was known? cause I think it is definitely more than likely that an asteroid impact cause their extinction, not a drought

[@DevoutSkeptic]

The End-Cretaceous Extinction was swift in terms of Geologic Time, but it did not happen overnight. It took up to 32,000 years after the meteor impact for all non-avian dinosaurs to disappear from the fossil record.

[@kestrelraptorial689]

@@DevoutSkeptic Where does that 32,000 year estimate come from?

[@cs-zr9xy]

32,000 years is a guess as it is actually not known how long the extinction period lasted for.. but yeah it didn’t happen over night, it happened but over a period of time in which organisms were effected by changes in breeding seasons, continents drifting and splitting, and changes in vegetation. It was a process, not a singular event.

[@ActivistVictor]

Saddest part of the movie in my opinion, and perhaps even disney’s darkest moment, people always talk about chernabog in the night on bald mountain segment, but to me, this is more disturbing by far. First you get a brutal representation of how cruel nature is, wherein a trex kills and eats its prey. And then, they go a step further, and actually kill off ALL the dinosaurs. Millions of years of evolution, and an entire legacy, GONE, woth nothing but fossils left behind. and unlike chernabog, who for all his scariness does not exist, this actually happened! Granted, not exactly in the way fantasia depicts it, (there was a well known asteroid missing from this, though to be fair that proof was discovered decades after this was made) but still, it happened, and in the case of predator eating prey, still happens. With chernabog, yeah he was a jerk, but his subjects, we already dead, and he couldn’t rightly kill them again, so right off the bat this is more disturbing. And the worst part is, if we don’t fight climate change soon, that death march might be coming to us in the future too, only it will he humans, not dinosaurs, fighting to survive

[@maximaldinotrap]

Technically it is an allosaurus and there are dinosaurs THAT SHOULS NOT BE THERE

[@iflyte]

Climate change will NEEEEEEEVEEEEEERR be on par with the k2 extinction, stop fear mongering ffs

[@CountTentacula]

maximaldinotrap actually, it is a tyrannosaurus. You see, way back when they made this film, it was believed that T. Rex had three fingers, but halfway through production it was discovered that he only had two. Still, Walt Disney himself decided that he liked how the beast looked with three instead of two. So it IS a tyrannosaurus, simply with a difference in design.

It was heavily influenced by this in fact, the dinosaurs in TLBT weren't originally supposed to talk.

[@andrewkang7157]

That I didn’t know but I can imagine that adding particular characters to TLBT was what made the finishing touch. Also the stegosaurus death scene must have somewhat inspired the death of Littlefoot’s mother as both were fatally wounded by a T-Rex

[@maxfieldstanton5005]

Actually this was an Allosaurus. It’s got three claws on its arms opposed to the T-Rex, which was bigger than Allosaurus, lived later on, and had smaller arms with only two claws on each hand, but I get what you mean. They’re both theropods that preyed on sauropods.

It is 1940 tough People didnt had any knowlege about dinosaurs then, like this trex having 3 fingers And from my theory i dont belive in periods in mesozoic era, meaning i dont belive in triassic, jurrasic and cretateous periods, i think some dinos evolved to be apex predators or succesfull herbivores till other carnivores, omnivores and herbivores evolved and old apexes go extinct. Same for cenozoic, some evolved to be apex animals till others evolved and took their place while old apexes go extinct, for humans its the same, in mammoth times, neandrethals were apex and smartest till homo sapiens came and took over, killing most animals

[@Keminas_United]

Alas, that’s incorrect. Although I do wish the sacrificial dance segment was used. 5:03 is as nearest to the end as the fourth and final act goes in Fantasia’s version. Only seconds after, would the Chosen Maiden begin to dance herself to death in the final piece that wasn’t used. The music used during the earthquake actually comes from the second act in the original version of the ballet. The solar eclipse at the 6:56 is a callback to the overture of the first act. Edit: The segment used in 5:44 is actually the Dance of the Earth. A rather fitting choice for the earthquake.

The T-Rex would be dead or seriously wounded and knocking on heaven’s door. Getting hit by a stegosaurus’s tail is a death sentence for any predator. It’s like being impaled by gigantic spears. Plus, the triceratops would turn and fight rather than run. Studies suggest they here hyper-aggressive toward predators. To a triceratops, the only good predator is a dead predator.
