Valse Triste

I loved Fantasia, and when Allegro Non Troppo came out we made sure to go see it.

Unfortunately...

Most of the episodes left a sour taste or felt too "message-y". However, one stuck with me as matching the music to the animation and theme very well: Sibelius' Valse Triste. Well, yes, it is sad; that's in the title.

L'apres-midi d'un faun got a little tiresome, but its interpretation of a faun's "after noon" was good.

Is a movie worthwhile if all you get out of it is one memorable scene?

Probably, considering how many movies are made that haven't even one.

I am deciding who to forward this to.
