Today there is more and more definite news of Walt Disney and his plans. "Peter Pan," it seems, will not be yet. His next work will be called "Fantasia," and will run for 2% hours. Ready for presentation in America during next October, it will be Disney's most ambitious effort and a combination of coloured cartoon and classical music. For the musical part, Disney has engaged the ce-operation of Stokowski and his Philadelphia Orchestra, When he assisted in the making of "A Hundred Men and a Girl" with Deanna Durbin, it was known that Stokowski went very thoroughly into the mechanism of sound reproduce tion. The result of his researches will be seen in "Fantasia." It is said that they will entail the closing for a week of any cinema showing the Disney picture so that special wiring may be installed. All this leads to lively anticipation, heightened by the news that already 450,000 feet of music have been recorded for the film by the Philadelphia Orchestra. One remembers the interest Disney took in music when selections from Schumann, Brahms, Tschaikowsky and other famous composers were included in the early Silly Symphonies.
