A mere soundtrack change is able to create a whole world of difference, as it is shown here: Originally intended as a segment for Fantasia accompanied by Debussy's Clair de Lune, the same animation directed by Samuel Armstrong was later included in the movie Make Mine Music, this time substituted with the song Blue Bayou.
The footage used here is almost exactly the same to the "Clair de Lune" version, with only difference being a small cut to make a water reflection sequence a bit shorter.
"Blue Bayou" is a nice song, and the animation used here is pretty gorgeous, but I personally think the original "Clair de Lune" version is simply much better, being in perfect synchrony with the music.
Strange how it took until the year 2000 for the public being finally able to witness this animation as it was originally intended to be, and tragically enough, it was 24 years after the death of its director.
