Oh my gosh. I have been searching for this version for years, the first time I watched this was with my dad, we both loved it. Sadly, he is dead now, but thanks to you posting this, I can now watch again and be transported back to wonderful days of when I lived in Arizona and listened to this with my folks. I am 62, but like a kid when I hear this. Thank you again.
Hello Liobeto, I viewed this as a child when it was first premiered in Disney. I have not been able to access it until now. This film had a huge influence on me as an advocate as a child, became a lifelong fan of such, and suporter of environmental caused. Tonight i watched this a wept for joy.
I first saw the film in 1969 when I was in high school. Our country AV Film library had two Technicolor copies. After I graduated high school in 1971 I had limited access to the film until a friend who worked at a Disney rental library obtained a retired print and the necessary replacement beginning and end section. Eventually I got a mint copy but it was issued on the Disney Sleeping Beauty DVD set in wide screen and stereo. To say the least it was awsome to see.
I first heard this when I was 12 years old. My dad purchased it. By the London Philharmonic. The next time I heard it was this one. It was aired on the Disney channel on December 7th, 1983, this was the night I went into labor with my son 36 years ago.
I saw this at the Chieftain Theatre in Pueblo,Colorado in the '50's as a young lad.What a surprise to see it now ..the composition by Ferde Grofe has been an all time favorite of mine through these many years.Thank You.
I had this on vinyl, when it was new. It was my first piece of classical Music, and I was like six years old. I kept it until it wouldn't play anymore.
Brilliant! Makes me want to curl up to Clark Bronson's sweet mule deer paintings, Western Horseman Leanin' Tree Christmas cards, and David Muench's timeless photographs in old 1960's Arizona Highway magazines and disappear through time. Love it!
Ferde Grofe worked for Paul Whiteman. As a child, I remember a full length cartoon with this music. This and Fantasia were some of my early exposures to classical music. Grofe also wrote the Mississippi Suite - you can actually picture the old South, and the riverboats plying it.
WOW!!! I saw this when I was 8 years old. I never forgot how it impressed me! Muchos Gracias for posting this. I have tears in my eyes. I am a 64 y/o pianist and composer. seeing this brought back those wonderful childhood memories - Onaje Allan Gumbs
This video was released by Disney in 1958 on Disney's Wonderful World of Color. The following year, in 16mm color film prints, it was made available to schools and non-profit groups for educational purposes. I was an AV student and ran the projector for all the classes so many times I finally was able to play it on my parents piano. LOVE THIS.
I finally found this.. I have been trying to find the actual movie. I first saw it when I was 17. I have the LP of the music that includes a photo album. I will soon be 81. Love lit.
Excelente !!! Aunque ya tiene más de medio siglo, éste trabajo es muy bueno no solo en lo cinematográfico, ni en lo musical que es bello, sino en el contenido, pues nos hace ver lo hermoso que es la naturaleza y que desgraciadamente nosotros, la humanidad estamos acabando con ella. Muchas felicidades !!
OMG, that's the one! I saw this in my school's auditorium when I was eight back in 1963. It was shown from a projector and on a huge screen by the nuns who taught us. I was drawn into the music and visuals, and I found it a relaxing, almost transcendent experience. Thank you for posting this and for the description. ¡Muchas gracias!
Thank you SO very much !! I saw this superb documentary and was overwhelmed by Grofé's magnificent music when I was a little girl and never was able to see it again since more than three decades - you just made my day ^_^
Os lo recomiendo, está realizado por unos verdaderos artistas profesionales...pocas cosas veréis y escuchareis como esta....Mis más sinceras felicitaciones
Magnífico!! Yo conocía la música pero no esta maravilhosa pelicula, de los viejos tiempos de W. Disney. Imposible no recordar de la inmortal "Fantasía" de 1940. Hay que notarse la admirable técnica de producción ya con 55 años!! Gracias por compartir! Saludos!
¿Cómo es posible que a algunas personas no les guste este film? Qué aburridas y tristes deben ser sus vidas. Yo que he visitado ese hermoso lugar dos veces puedo testificar que es una experiencia inolvidable.
I have this as an extra on “Sleeping Beauty” but it’s good to have a TH-cam version I can play ‘on the go’ as I do chores, or when I eventually work on my Disney diorama. I’ll have to include a section on my Disneyland Railroad similar to the one in DLP. At 62 it’s good to see these historical films that rarely get shown on Disney+ (take note Disney+ as I thought when I signed up I’d get all the historical Disney content in your vaults).
I first saw the film in high school in 1968 as our county educational library had a Technicolor print. I requested it several times through a teacher until I graduated in 1971. With the demise of 16mm library films, I have an older Technicolor print and a newer low fade Eastman color print, plus the DVD. Someday would love to see it on a big screen!
Traducción: La primera vez que vi la película fue en la escuela secundaria en 1968, cuando nuestra biblioteca educativa del condado tenía una copia en Technicolor. La solicité varias veces a través de un profesor hasta que me gradué en 1971. Con la desaparición de las películas de la biblioteca de 16 mm, tengo una copia en Technicolor más antigua y otra copia en color Eastman más baja, más nueva, más el DVD. ¡Algún día me encantaría verlo en una pantalla grande! Liobeto2: I appreciate the comment
Since Sleeping Beauty has a 75 minute running time, this short's own running time ( 27 minutes) completes the two hour theater quota. Both this short and the main feature takes great advantage of Technirama and stereophonic sound system.
I also wound have liked to see burros, and in Cloudburst, some torrential rain, and not mostly blizzard conditions, But when I play the music, I still picture some of these Disney depictions. I wish someone would do a remake!
Before Glen Canyon Dam turned the water blue. Emory Kolb was still around and may have appreciated the river footage. The aspen trees still turn a beautiful gold on the plateau north of the canyon and in the mountain by Flagstaff.
Increíble. Gracias por subir este video. Una joya, tanto la música de GOFRE como la calidad de DISNEY. Me hizo acordar a las películas de DISNEY de los sesenta, estilo Fantasía o el Desierto Viviente. Gracias nuevamente.
You can hear parts of this if you are riding the Disneyland Railroad and enter the Main St Station from TomorrowLand going through the Dinorama. Also parts are played in the movie A Christmas Story (1983).
A recording of this was released on a Disneyland Records LP and reel-to-reel tape. Unfortunately, the stereo LP was poorly mastered (at Capitol Records), with the left-channel volume out-of-balance with the right-channel.
I watched this back in the '60's... over and over and over.... "So, guess what, students? Instead of our regular lessons we're going to have a special treat!" (Great! Kooks Tour? Sing a song of Six Pants? Loco Boy makes Good?) "It's by Disney and it's The Grand Canyon set to music!" (AGGGH! NOT AGAIN!!)
@jslasher1, the orchestra is still active and known today as the Munich Symphony Orchestra (the original name was for its founder, Kurt Graunke). Swiss-born Frederick Stark, who was music supervisor at the Disney studios at the time, was the best choice as conductor because he was fluent in German.
Fun fact,if my mind is still working,the aerial shots were taken from the nose of an old WW11 B-25 outfitted with a plexiglass bubble, flown by Frank Tallman, movie stut pilot.
Why Disney decided to omit a donkey in the "On The Trail" segment is a big question mark. The whole idea of that segment of the piece was to suggest a donkey's gait and a donkey's "Hee-Haw."
I know! And I could have sworn there WAS one! I guess somebody else must have used that part of the Grand Canyon Suite and shown a donkey on a trail...
It's a good job from Disney, but-- didn't they get that the second movement is named "Sunrise"? And that it's a tone poem of the sun coming up? Some footage of that might have been appropriate.
Fíjate si esto es lo que buscabas, no bajé el torrent pero mencionan que está en inglés y español: kickass.so/el-desierto-viviente-dual-esp-eng-1953-t4900912.html
This is included as a special feature on a Sleeping Beauty blu ray disc. Looks spectacular on that!

I first found that feature in "Sleeping Beauty Behind the Scenes" on DVD.
Like in 2008
Same.
@Carter Shute Same here!

I appreciate the comment
You are seeing it on a big screen, are you not? It's in 720p and playing on TH-cam right now in HD, after all.
Since Sleeping Beauty has a 75 minute running time, this short's own running time ( 27 minutes) completes the two hour theater quota.
Both this short and the main feature takes great advantage of Technirama and stereophonic sound system.
The music was recorded by the Graunke Symphony Orchestra in Munich, Germany, because of a strike by the American Federation of Musicians at the time.
I hate to be a wet blanket but whenever I hear "On the Trail" I picture burros going down into the canyon "on the trail," carrying brave tourists.
Is a descriptive music of good quality.
Saludos from Coquimbo, Chile.
I also wound have liked to see burros, and in Cloudburst, some torrential rain, and not mostly blizzard conditions, But when I play the music, I still picture some of these Disney depictions. I wish someone would do a remake!

David Heesen: That's the whole point of the piece. It's designed to sound like that exact thing.
Una joyita. Muchísimas gracias por compartirla.
The last Oscar that Walt Disney won in his lifetime was for this film!
Maravillosa obra !!!

Was für ein schönes Meisterwerk von F.Grofe…..ich liebe diesen Film ❤❤❤❤❤

Muy bien gracias

I have a copy of that record but not the reel to reel tape version, I do have the DCD that includes it.

"So, guess what, students? Instead of our regular lessons

Yes for meee : P
This film was released in 1959.

+John Eddy Frederick Stark was born in Germany in Messkirch
At 11:44 when the snake was skriming, I felt that 😢😰😨😨
Lovely film. It seems that Disney has changed the sequence of the movements, as he did with "The Rite of Spring" in Fantasia
Fun fact,if my mind is still working,the aerial shots were taken from the nose of an old WW11 B-25 outfitted with a plexiglass bubble, flown by Frank Tallman, movie stut pilot.

I know! And I could have sworn there WAS one! I guess somebody else must have used that part of the Grand Canyon Suite and shown a donkey on a trail...
There would have had to be humans in the film and I think they just wanted it to be all natural, no humans.
Cool
Yep
It's a good job from Disney, but-- didn't they get that the second movement is named "Sunrise"? And that it's a tone poem of the sun coming up? Some footage of that might have been appropriate.
This was released in theaters in 1959, no?
I first part of this Suite on a Disney Animation
so this is where that diorama at Disneyland came from
Is this available to buy on LP at all please if you don't mind me asking. ? 👍 :)
obrigada
Spoiled by commercials.
