Abstract animation, uncredited
Fischinger developed designs for Fantasia's opening abstract segment at Disney, then left before it was finished. His name isn't on the film.
By the late 1930s Fischinger had spent a decade animating pure shape to music. Disney hired him to work on the Toccata and Fugue in D minor that opens Fantasia.
His designs were reworked to look more like recognisable objects, and he left the studio before release, uncredited. The finished segment brought abstract visual music to a mass audience for the first time.
