Dialogue over the Ocean: P. Tchaikovsky’s «The Nutcracker» suite seen by W. Disney
Abstract
This article is dedicated to one part of Walt Disney’s full length animated film «Fantasia» (1940) which is based on the music from P. Chaikovsky’s «The Nutcracker». In this picture different elements of European art (from the music to concrete images and elements of visual style) are entered into the field of American popular culture through the animation medium. The goal of the essay is to follow how Disney adapts Chaikovsky’s music for the American mass audience by combining the elements of cultural traditions from the Old and New World.
